Bureau of International Labor Affairs

Description

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, one or more cooperative agreements to organizations to carry out actions to accelerate the use of rigorous research by policymakers and practitioners in efforts to eliminate child labor and forced labor around the world. The project will achieve the following outcomes: (1) Increased ability of policymakers and practitioners to access rigorous research, data collection and analysis tools, and other relevant data needed to address child labor and forced labor internationally; (2) Increased understanding by researchers of the questions and knowledge gaps that need to be addressed to inform policy and program efforts to eliminate child labor and forced labor; (3) Improved capacity of researchers to study child labor and forced labor issues; and (4) Increased engagement of skilled, multidisciplinary, policy-oriented researchers that carry out rigorous studies on child labor and forced labor issues. The Employment and Training Administration (ETA)’s Office of Grants Management anticipates publishing a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) as soon as possible and not later than July 2018 (this timing is subject to change). Please refer to: http://www.dol.gov/ilab/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.
