Notice of Intent: Program to End Modern Slavery FY 2022
Subject to the availability of funds, the U.S. State Department’ s Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (TIP Office) intends to award, through a competitive process, one or more cooperative agreements to organizations to implement a project within one of five priority areas. The project will support the objectives and activities of the Program to End Modern Slavery (PEMS).
Background:
The goal of PEMS is to measurably and substantially reduce the prevalence of human trafficking in targeted populations in partner countries and jurisdictions through innovative interventions driven by research, monitoring, evaluation, learning, and the expansion of partnerships. PEMS-funded efforts conduct scientifically rigorous research to establish evidence on the effects of anti-trafficking programs on the reduction of the prevalence of human trafficking through the advancement of sound prevalence measurement methodologies, strong monitoring and evaluation practices, evidence-based programming, and the application of victim-centered and trauma-informed approaches. The U.S. Congress has appropriated $25 million annually since Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 for PEMS, totaling $150 million to date.
The TIP Office is interested in funding research and implementation projects focused on five priority areas as they relate to human trafficking:
- Supply Chains
- Climate Change and Displacement
- Public Health
- Financial Inclusion
- Sex Trafficking
This is a Notice of Intent. An announcement is not related to this notice. The TIP Office is not accepting applications at this time. Please see the full Notice of Intent that is available on Grants.gov for additional information about this opportunity.
