Opportunity Information: Apply for DFOP0016706
The 2024 TIP Office Notice of Funding Opportunity - Statements of Interest (DFOP0016706) is a U.S. Department of State funding opportunity run by the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (TIP Office) to support projects that combat human trafficking outside the United States. The program is designed to fund anti-trafficking initiatives aligned with the TIP Office's 2024 programming priorities across multiple regions: Africa (AF), East Asia and the Pacific (EAP), the Near East and North Africa (NEA), South and Central Asia (SCA), and the Western Hemisphere (WHA). The overall goal is to identify strong project concepts first and then invite the most competitive applicants to develop full proposals, creating a streamlined, competitive pipeline from initial idea to potential award.
This opportunity uses a two-stage, open competitive process. In stage one, organizations submit a Statement of Interest (SOI), limited to four pages, describing a proposed project concept that addresses one or more of the TIP Office's stated priorities in the eligible regions. These SOIs go through a technical and programmatic review, and only the selected submissions move forward. In stage two, invited applicants submit full proposals that undergo a technical and programmatic interagency review. After that review, proposals may be recommended for funding, but final approval rests with the TIP Office's Ambassador-at-Large. Even if a proposal is recommended, any eventual award depends on the availability of FY 2024 appropriated funds. The TIP Office expects to issue awards for most of the listed priorities in spring 2025, reflecting the longer timeline that often comes with multi-step federal review and funding decisions.
The funding instrument for this opportunity is a cooperative agreement, which usually indicates a more hands-on federal role during implementation compared with a standard grant. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary, and it is associated with CFDA number 19.019. The posted award ceiling is $7,500,000, signaling that individual awards could potentially be quite large, depending on the scope and the priority area addressed, though the listing does not specify an award floor or the typical range. The notice lists "ExpectedAwards: 0," which is best interpreted as not specifying a set number of awards in the posting rather than meaning none will be made. The original closing date for SOI submissions is July 31, 2024, and the opportunity record was created on June 24, 2024.
A relatively broad set of applicant types are eligible. This includes 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. For-profits are allowed to apply but may not generate profit from grant-funded activities, which is an important compliance constraint for budgeting and indirect cost planning. U.S. government agencies may also respond, but their projects would be funded through an interagency agreement rather than a standard award arrangement. Foreign governments are not eligible as applicants, but they may still benefit from projects as partners or recipients of assistance, as long as U.S. funding does not pay salaries of government personnel and the support is not otherwise restricted by U.S. law or policy.
In practical terms, this NOFO is best read as a competitive call for concise, high-quality project concepts that demonstrate a clear fit with TIP Office regional priorities and show credible potential for measurable impact against human trafficking. Applicants that advance past the SOI stage should be prepared for a more intensive second-round proposal process and a multi-layer review pathway leading to final approval, with awards contingent on appropriated funding and anticipated for release in spring 2025.Apply for DFOP0016706
