Opportunity Information: Apply for AT ATC 18 002

The FY 2018 TIP Office International Programs to Combat Human Trafficking Funding Opportunity - SOIs is a U.S. Department of State funding opportunity issued by the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (TIP Office). It is a discretionary program designed to support international efforts that prevent human trafficking, protect trafficking victims, and prosecute traffickers. The solicitation is specifically a Request for Statements of Interest (SOIs), meaning applicants are first asked to submit an initial concept or brief proposal statement for consideration under the FY 2018 international anti-trafficking programs portfolio, with full details on what to submit and how submissions will be reviewed provided in the official grant announcement.

This opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number AT ATC 18 002 and is associated with CFDA number 19.019. The Department of State indicates that funding may be provided through either grants or cooperative agreements. In practice, a cooperative agreement typically implies a higher level of federal involvement during project implementation than a standard grant, such as more frequent coordination, reporting, or collaboration with the agency, while still allowing the recipient to carry out the day-to-day work. The funding activity category is labeled as "Other," with clarification referenced in the announcement text, which commonly signals that projects can span multiple activity types (for example, capacity building, training, victim services, policy support, or cross-sector coordination) rather than fitting neatly into a single standard category.

Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity is broadly open to a wide range of applicant types, provided they meet any additional eligibility conditions or clarifications included in the grant announcement. This kind of open eligibility often allows nonprofit organizations, nongovernmental organizations, international organizations, educational institutions, and potentially for-profit entities and other qualified groups to apply, depending on the specific restrictions, documentation requirements, or program priorities spelled out in the full notice. Because the posted summary points applicants back to the grant announcement for the controlling requirements, the official announcement is the document that defines who is eligible, what project approaches are allowed, what geographic or thematic priorities apply, and what compliance standards must be met.

The opportunity was created on October 13, 2017, with an original closing date of November 13, 2017, indicating roughly a one-month window for submitting Statements of Interest. The award ceiling is listed as $1,500,000, establishing the maximum amount for an individual award under this opportunity. The TIP Office also lists an anticipated total of 90 expected awards, suggesting a large portfolio of projects may be supported under FY 2018 funding. While the summary does not provide a minimum award amount or a total program funding amount, the combination of a relatively high ceiling and a high expected award count indicates that the agency likely intends to fund projects of varying sizes across multiple countries or regions, or across different components of anti-trafficking work, subject to the priorities and available appropriations described in the full announcement.

Overall, this solicitation is best understood as an entry point into the TIP Office FY 2018 international programming pipeline: organizations submit an SOI to present their capability and program concept, and the TIP Office uses those submissions to identify potential partners and project ideas aligned with U.S. anti-trafficking objectives. Anyone considering applying would need to rely on the full grant announcement for the required SOI format, page limits, evaluation criteria, priority areas, submission method, and the specific eligibility and compliance conditions that govern awards.
