💡 Tips for applicants
- Align your project directly to the National Security Strategy, executive orders, and the State Department's FY 2026-2030 Agency Strategy for stronger competitiveness.
- Review the latest Trafficking in Persons Report and ensure your proposed activities address recommendations specific to your target country or region.
- For-profit applicants should carefully document all costs and ensure they understand federal cost accounting standards (FAR 48 CFR 30-31) before submitting.
- Include clear metrics showing how your project will prosecute traffickers, protect victims, or prevent trafficking. Specificity matters in competitive review.
- Consider partnering with in-country organizations and government agencies to strengthen your proposal's feasibility and local credibility.
⚠️ Common mistakes
Applications that ignore specific country recommendations in the Trafficking in Persons Report or fail to tie activities to National Security Strategy priorities are less competitive. Proposals without clear, measurable outcomes for prosecution, protection, or prevention show weak program design. For-profit applicants who do not fully understand or address profit limitations often face rejection during secondary review.
