Opportunity Summary:
The J/TIP FY 2015 International Programs to Combat Trafficking in Persons Request for SOIs (Funding Opportunity Number AT ATC 15 001) is a discretionary U.S. Department of State funding opportunity released by the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (often referred to as J/TIP). It focuses on international anti-trafficking work under CFDA 19.019, International Programs to Combat Human Trafficking. Rather than being a full application request in the first instance, it is framed as a Request for Statements of Interest (SOIs), meaning applicants are asked to submit an initial concept or expression of interest in line with the announcement, with further details and requirements governed by the full solicitation text.
Funding is provided through cooperative agreements and grants. A cooperative agreement generally signals a more active role for the government agency in the project compared to a standard grant, such as closer collaboration, additional federal involvement in implementation, or more structured monitoring and coordination during the life of the award. The activity category is listed as "Other," clarified as Anti Trafficking in Persons, which indicates the program is specifically dedicated to preventing and responding to human trafficking internationally through programmatic interventions described in the full announcement.
The funding range for individual awards is substantial, with an award floor of $100,000 and an award ceiling of $750,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated in the posted summary, which can reduce barriers for organizations that cannot commit significant non-federal funds. Key timing information shows it was posted on January 30, 2015, with an original (and current) closing date of March 2, 2015, and an archive date of April 1, 2015. In practical terms, this means the window to submit an SOI was a little over a month from posting to deadline, and the opportunity was then formally archived shortly afterward.
Eligibility is described as "unrestricted," meaning it is open to any type of entity, but with important caveats in the full solicitation. The summary explicitly notes that International Organizations (IOs) are not included in this solicitation, and applicants are directed to the full grant announcement for the precise eligibility rules, any exclusions, and application requirements. This kind of language typically means that while the opportunity may be broad, applicants still need to confirm they meet all conditions laid out in the official notice, including any requirements about organizational type, registration, past performance, or compliance obligations.
For access and technical support, the notice points applicants to standard federal grant platforms and help desks. If an applicant had trouble accessing the announcement electronically, they could contact the Grant Solutions Help Desk (by phone or email during business hours) or the Grants.gov Help Desk (available 24/7, excluding federal holidays). Program-specific questions were directed to J/TIP agency contacts Rebecca Henenlotter (HenenlotterR@state.gov, 202 216 5801) and Tracie Hill (HillT2@state.gov, 202 312 9734). Overall, this opportunity represents J/TIP's FY 2015 intake for internationally focused anti-trafficking programming concepts, with mid-to-large award sizes, no match requirement, and an SOI-first approach that relies on the full solicitation for the detailed program priorities and submission instructions.
