Grant Description

The Department of State’s Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (G/TIP) is announcing an open competition for 2010 funding of projects to combat trafficking in persons in Haiti. On July 29, 2010, President Obama signed legislation appropriating funds for emergency relief, rehabilitation, reconstruction aid, and other expenses related to addressing the emergent needs in Haiti following the January earthquake. Consistent with this legislation, this announcement was developed to solicit applications for projects to combat human trafficking. Funds will be granted for prevention and protection programs, and to support investigations and prosecutions of cases in Haiti and the Dominican Republic. U.S.-based non-profit and non-governmental organizations (NGO), public international organizations (PIO), foreign NGOs, and institutions of higher education that have experience working in Haiti are encouraged to apply by submitting a proposal. All proposals that meet the technical requirements described in this announcement will be reviewed by a panel comprised of individuals with knowledge and experience in human trafficking programming and expertise in Haiti. G/TIP anticipates making awards of up to $750,000 for projects lasting up to three years. All proposals must be submitted via one of the following two websites: www.grantsolutions.gov or www.grants.gov. The deadline for submitting proposals is 5:00p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST), Monday, August 30, 2010.
