Opportunity Summary:
The NOI 5 Global Research opportunity is a Notice of Intent from the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL), Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB) indicating that the Department plans to release a future Solicitation for Grant Applications (SGA). This NOI is not an open funding announcement and does not invite applications yet; it is essentially an advance heads-up that, if funding is available, USDOL expects to run a competitive, merit-based selection process to award one or more cooperative agreements. The planned work focuses on multi-country technical assistance projects designed to strengthen the global evidence base on child labor, primarily by improving data collection, conducting analysis, and producing updated country-level statistics related to child work and education.
The core purpose of the planned cooperative agreement(s) is research and policy analysis rather than direct service delivery. The project concept described centers on generating and updating reliable information that can inform governments, international organizations, and stakeholders working on child labor and education outcomes. In practical terms, that implies activities such as compiling and analyzing survey or administrative data, improving measurement approaches, producing statistical updates and reports, and translating findings into policy-relevant insights across multiple countries.
USDOL notes that the Office of Procurement Services anticipated publishing the formal SGA around May 10, 2013 (with the caveat that the date could change). Because this document is only an NOI, it contains no application package, attachments, or full requirements; applicants are directed to monitor Grants.gov for the actual SGA when it is released, since no email or paper copies would be distributed. The announcement also points interested parties to ILAB grant resources and SGA guidelines (including examples of previous cooperative agreement applications) to help organizations prepare for what a future application might entail.
Eligibility is broad and includes commercial, international, educational, and nonprofit organizations, including faith-based, community-based, and public international organizations, as long as they can successfully conduct research and policy analysis on child labor. Importantly, the NOI explicitly states that organizations without prior USDOL cooperative agreement, grant, or contract experience are still eligible, which signals an intent to keep competition open to new entrants that can demonstrate relevant technical capability.
From the administrative details provided, this is categorized as a discretionary opportunity using a cooperative agreement instrument under the Employment, Labor and Training activity area, with no cost-sharing or matching requirement indicated. Award floor and ceiling amounts are listed as zero in the NOI, which typically means funding levels would be specified later in the SGA rather than in this preliminary notice. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Brenda White in the grant office (ops.grantoffice@dol.gov).
