Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Department of State, through the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (DOS-GTIP), announced a FY 2016 funding opportunity focused on international programs to combat trafficking in persons. The opportunity is titled "J/TIP FY 2016 International Programs to Combat Trafficking in Persons Request for SOIs" and is issued as a discretionary funding competition. Rather than requesting full proposals right away, the notice is framed as a Request for Statements of Interest (SOIs), meaning applicants are asked to submit a shorter initial concept or expression of interest according to the full grant announcement instructions. The purpose is to identify and support projects overseas that address human trafficking, consistent with GTIP's mission and the U.S. government’s anti-trafficking priorities.
This opportunity is posted under Funding Opportunity Number "AT ATC 16 001" and is associated with CFDA number 19.019, which corresponds to Department of State assistance for trafficking-related programming. The funding instrument types listed are both grants and cooperative agreements. In practical terms, that means awards could be structured either as a traditional grant (with less day-to-day federal involvement) or as a cooperative agreement (where the government expects to have substantial involvement in the project’s implementation, coordination, or oversight). The notice places the activity category under "Other," with the instruction to consult the full announcement text for the specific programmatic scope and clarification of eligible activities.
Eligibility is described as "unrestricted," indicating the competition is open to a broad range of entities, as long as they meet any conditions or clarifications included in the full announcement. In typical State Department competitions of this kind, this could include nonprofits, non-governmental organizations, international organizations, educational institutions, and potentially other qualified entities, but the controlling details would be the additional eligibility language in the full grant announcement.
The timeline provided shows the opportunity was created and posted on November 25, 2015, with a closing date of December 28, 2015 (the original and current closing dates are the same, suggesting no extension was posted in the metadata). The maximum funding amount listed (award ceiling) is $750,000 per award. The "ExpectedAwards" field is not populated in the provided data, so the number of anticipated awards is not specified here and would need to be confirmed in the full announcement or related program guidance.
Overall, this is a State Department GTIP international anti-trafficking funding opportunity from FY 2016 that invited applicants to submit Statements of Interest by late December 2015, with awards potentially up to $750,000, using either grant or cooperative agreement mechanisms, and with broad eligibility subject to the full text of the announcement.
