| Description:: | This Notice of Intent (NOI) is not a request for funding applications. Subject to the availability of funds, the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL), Bureau of International Labor Affairs will award multiple cooperative agreements for technical assistance projects to address key evidence gaps regarding interventions to combat child labor and forced labor through randomized control trial (RCT) impact evaluations (IEs) that leverage partnerships with implementing organizations to build upon existing or planned interventions and/or impact evaluations. If funding is available, it may only be used to fund RCT impact evaluation design, implementation, analysis and dissemination, and may not be used to fund projects or interventions. Study results may be published independently after the cooperative agreement has closed. The Office of Procurement Services anticipates publishing the Solicitation for Cooperative Agreement Applications (SCA) on or about July 2014 (this date is subject to change). Please refer to: http://www.dol.gov/ilab/grants/ and http://www.dol.gov/ilab/grants/SGAguidelines.htm for general guidelines and examples of previous cooperative agreement applications. This NOI does not include a SCA or any attachments. It only constitutes a notice of USDOLÂ’s intent to publish a SCA at a later date. Interested applicants are encouraged to monitor www.grants.gov for the SCA, as this is the method by which it will be made available to the public. No email or paper copies will be provided. |
