Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "U.S. Consulate General Kolkata TIP Conclave 5 - Fighting Transnational Crime in the Tri Country Border Area" (Funding Opportunity Number KRFP16-01), is a discretionary U.S. government funding program administered by the U.S. Mission to India through the U.S. Consulate General in Kolkata. The project centers on organizing and delivering the fifth Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Conclave in Northeast India, with potential host locations listed as Guwahati (Assam), Shillong (Meghalaya), Siliguri (West Bengal), or another city in the region. The overall purpose is to reinforce and expand the Consulate's ongoing commitment to countering human trafficking, with a specific emphasis on the challenges posed by transnational crime in a tri-country border context, where cross-border movement and organized networks can complicate prevention, protection, and prosecution efforts.
The opportunity builds on a series of earlier convenings that have helped establish the Kolkata Consulate as a consistent regional partner in anti-trafficking work. According to the announcement, the first two TIP conclaves were held in Kolkata in 2012, followed by an international conclave in Guwahati in December 2013, and a fourth international conclave in Ranchi in March 2015. This fifth conclave is positioned as a continuation of that trajectory, aiming to strengthen the anti-trafficking movement across eastern and northeastern India by convening relevant stakeholders, spotlighting regional trafficking dynamics, and encouraging practical coordination and collaboration.
Funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates closer involvement by the funding agency than a standard grant, often including coordination, shared planning, or substantive engagement during implementation. The activity category is listed as Education, and the CFDA number is 19.040 (Public Diplomacy Programs), signaling a public diplomacy-oriented program that uses convenings, dialogue, training, and partnership-building to advance shared priorities. The program anticipates making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $60,000. The award ceiling is $60,000 and the award floor is $55,000, suggesting proposals are expected to fall within a relatively tight budget range. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to provide non-federal funds to be eligible, although applicants sometimes still choose to leverage additional resources if it strengthens impact.
Eligibility is limited to certain organizational types, specifically nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), as well as private institutions of higher education and public or state-controlled institutions of higher education. The announcement provides that full details are available in the complete solicitation, and it directs applicants who cannot access the announcement electronically to contact the Grant Applications Manager at the U.S. Consulate in Kolkata through the Public Affairs Section. Key dates included in the source data show the opportunity was posted on April 25, 2015, with an original closing date of June 25, 2015, later extended to a current closing date of July 16, 2015. The listing was set to be archived on August 15, 2015.
