Opportunity Information: Apply for DFOP0009875
The U.S. Department of State's Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (TIP Office) is soliciting proposals under its 2024 International Programs notice to deliver global, on-demand training and/or technical assistance focused on combating human trafficking. The funding is meant to support the TIP Office's global Training and Technical Assistance (T and TA) Program, which typically provides practical, responsive support to partners around the world who are working to prevent trafficking, protect victims, and prosecute traffickers. The emphasis in the notice is on flexible programming that can be deployed as needs arise, rather than a single fixed-country or single-issue project.
This opportunity is offered as a discretionary award and will be implemented through a cooperative agreement, meaning the U.S. government is likely to have a more engaged role during implementation compared to a standard grant. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," and the CFDA/Assistance Listing number associated with the opportunity is 19.019. The Funding Opportunity Number is DFOP0009875, and the original application closing date is May 6, 2024. The listed award ceiling is $2,000,000, indicating the maximum potential size of an individual award under this solicitation, though actual award amounts would depend on the final project scope and available funds. The notice shows "Expected Awards: 0," which can appear in listings even when an agency plans to make awards, so applicants typically need to rely on the full notice for the most accurate expectations about award count and funding availability.
Eligibility is broad and effectively unrestricted within the categories the TIP Office names. Eligible applicants include U.S.-based and foreign non-profit organizations, non-governmental organizations (including faith-based organizations), public international organizations, institutions of higher education, and for-profit entities. A key condition for for-profit applicants is that they may not earn profits from grant-funded activities, so budgets must reflect allowable costs without profit or fee. U.S. government agencies may also submit applications, but if selected their projects would be funded through an Interagency Acquisition Agreement rather than a standard assistance award.
Foreign governments are not eligible to apply directly, but they may still benefit from the programming as recipients of training or technical assistance. The notice draws a clear boundary on how that assistance can be structured: grant funds cannot be used to pay the salaries of foreign government personnel, and any engagement must comply with applicable U.S. laws and policy restrictions. In practice, that typically means projects can train and advise government counterparts, support policy and procedure development, strengthen coordination and referral mechanisms, or provide capacity-building that improves anti-trafficking systems, while avoiding direct salary support or other restricted forms of assistance.
In summary, this is a global capacity-building opportunity aimed at organizations that can rapidly design and deliver specialized anti-trafficking training and technical assistance across different contexts. Strong applicants are likely to be those with demonstrated technical expertise in human trafficking, the ability to respond quickly to emerging needs, experience working internationally with varied stakeholders (including governments as beneficiaries), and the operational capacity to manage a cooperative agreement with close coordination alongside the TIP Office.Apply for DFOP0009875
