Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "U.S. Embassy New Delhi TIP Conclave 2015 - Unregulated Work Placement Agencies and Their Role in Trafficking in Persons in India" was a U.S. Mission to India funding call designed to support a focused, two-day convening in New Delhi on trafficking in persons (TIP) and forced labor, with a specific emphasis on how unregulated work placement agencies can enable or contribute to trafficking risks across India. The Embassy framed the conclave as part of its broader commitment to counter human trafficking by strengthening coordination, improving shared understanding of trafficking mechanisms tied to labor recruitment and placement, and bringing together key stakeholders who can influence policy, enforcement, and victim protection.
At the center of the project was the idea of structured collaboration. The conclave was intended to assemble Indian experts and practitioners from multiple sectors, including activists and civil society leaders, relevant government stakeholders, and law enforcement officials from across the country. These Indian participants were to be paired with U.S. counterparts, potentially including representatives from agencies and offices connected to the U.S. Embassy such as the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Legal Attache, along with other Embassy sections involved in public diplomacy and rule-of-law related work. The design also allowed for involvement by international organizations like the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and the International Labor Organization (ILO), reflecting an emphasis on aligning approaches and leveraging international expertise on trafficking networks, labor standards, and enforcement or protection models.
From an administrative standpoint, this was a discretionary opportunity funded through a cooperative agreement, meaning the U.S. government expected to have an active role in shaping or supporting implementation rather than simply providing a hands-off grant. The activity category was listed under Education, consistent with a convening that emphasizes knowledge exchange, training-like outcomes, and cross-sector learning. The program anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $70,000. The award ceiling was $70,000 and the award floor was $60,000, signaling that proposed budgets were expected to fall within that relatively narrow range. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which typically reduces barriers for eligible organizations and puts the focus on the quality and feasibility of the proposed conclave plan.
Eligibility was open to U.S.-based and qualifying entities in several categories: nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and private institutions of higher education. The opportunity was posted on June 10, 2015, created on August 10, 2015, originally due on August 10, 2015, and later extended to a current closing date of August 24, 2015. The archive date was September 23, 2015. The listing also referenced CFDA 19.040 (Public Diplomacy Programs), which situates the conclave within the State Department public diplomacy and engagement framework, even though the substantive issue focus was human trafficking.
In practical terms, a successful applicant under this announcement would have been expected to design and help execute the two-day TIP Conclave in New Delhi, coordinating speakers and participants, shaping an agenda that squarely addresses the trafficking vulnerabilities tied to unregulated work placement and recruitment practices, and supporting the Embassy's goal of improving coordination among Indian stakeholders, U.S. counterparts, and potential international partners. The announcement explicitly directed applicants to consult the full notice for complete details, and provided a point of contact at the U.S. Embassy New Delhi (Grant Applications Manager) for assistance accessing the complete announcement materials.
