About this opportunity

NOTE: This is a Notice of Intent. An announcement is not related to this notice. We are not accepting applications at this time. Subject to the availability of funds, USDOL’s Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB) intends to award, through a competitive process, 1 cooperative agreement of $3,000,000 total costs to an organization to increase the use of forced labor research in policy and programmatic decision-making to eliminate forced labor around the world. The project will aim to achieve the following outcomes: (1) Increased knowledge of the nature and extent of forced labor where scarce research exists; and (2) Increased mobilization of decision-makers in the private sector, government, and civil society to act against forced labor. The project must use the International Conference of Labor Statisticians’ Guidelines Concerning the Measurement of Forced Labor to produce a minimum of two rigorous, informative research studies and regularly engage with key decision-making stakeholders during the process. The Employment and Training Administration (ETA)’s Office of Grants Management anticipates publishing a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) in late June and intends to make awards by November 29, 2019 (these dates are subject to change). Please refer to: http://www.dol.gov/ilab/grants/ and https://www.dol.gov/agencies/ilab/resources/grants for general guidelines and examples of previous cooperative agreement applications. This notice does not include an FOA or any attachments. It only constitutes a notice of USDOL’s intent to publish an FOA at a later date. Interested applicants are encouraged to monitor www.grants.gov for the FOA because, if an FOA is published, grants.gov is the method by which the FOA will be made available to the public. No email or paper copies of any FOA will be provided.
