Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity is a special, limited funding announcement from the U.S. Department of State's Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (TIP Office), created in response to the extensive flooding that occurred in Thailand. The TIP Office is seeking projects that combat human trafficking in Thailand and that directly respond to the Thailand-specific recommendations published in the 2011 Trafficking in Persons Report. The idea is to quickly identify strong project concepts that can address heightened vulnerabilities and trafficking risks that often increase during and after large-scale disasters, including displacement, loss of livelihoods, and disrupted services.
The competition is structured as a two-stage process. In the first stage, organizations do not submit a full proposal right away. Instead, they submit a short, two-page Statement of Interest (SOI) that briefly lays out the proposed project concept, how it aligns with the 2011 TIP Report recommendations for Thailand, and why the organization is well-positioned to implement it. After a panel review of the SOIs, the TIP Office will invite only the most promising applicants to move to the second stage, where they will submit a full proposal that expands on the SOI. Both the SOIs and any subsequent proposals are reviewed by a panel for funding consideration, meaning that an SOI is essentially a screening step to narrow the field to the strongest candidates.
The funding mechanism listed includes grants and cooperative agreements under CFDA 19.019 (International Programs to Combat Human Trafficking). Awards are anticipated to range from a minimum (award floor) of $50,000 up to a maximum (award ceiling) of $750,000 per project, with the final amounts dependent on available fiscal year 2012 appropriations. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, so applicants are not required to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility.
Eligibility is broad and includes both U.S.-based and foreign entities. The solicitation encourages participation from non-profit and non-governmental organizations, public international organizations, and institutions of higher education. The eligible applicant categories listed also include nonprofits with or without U.S. 501(c)(3) status, for-profit organizations other than small businesses, small businesses, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments). In practical terms, the opportunity is open to a wide range of organizations with the capacity to run anti-trafficking programs in Thailand, as long as they can meet the application and compliance requirements tied to U.S. government funding.
The submission requirements emphasize timing and method. All Statements of Interest must be submitted electronically through either GrantSolutions (www.grantsolutions.gov) or Grants.gov (www.grants.gov). The deadline for submission is 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST) on Friday, December 16, 2011. The opportunity was posted on November 4, 2011, and later archived on January 15, 2012, reflecting that it was a time-limited solicitation tied to a specific set of conditions and funding cycle.
For applicants who run into access problems retrieving the full announcement or using the electronic systems, the notice points them to GrantSolutions technical support. The listed support channel is the GrantSolutions.gov Technical Support Contact Center (1-877-577-0771), available Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. EST, and the email help@grantsolutions.gov. This is the primary contact route for technical issues related to submission rather than programmatic questions.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1) What is this grant opportunity about?
This is a special, limited funding announcement from the U.S. Department of State's Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (TIP Office). It focuses on projects that combat human trafficking in Thailand and that respond to Thailand-specific recommendations in the 2011 Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report. The announcement was created in response to extensive flooding in Thailand and aims to support work that addresses heightened trafficking vulnerabilities during and after large-scale disasters (for example, displacement, loss of livelihoods, and disrupted services).
2) Why is the TIP Office linking this funding to flooding in Thailand?
The funding is intended to quickly identify strong project concepts that can respond to increased trafficking risks that often follow major disasters. The notice highlights risks tied to displacement, loss of livelihoods, and disrupted services, which can increase vulnerability to exploitation and trafficking.
