Description
The Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (TIP Office) within the U.S. Department of State issues this Notice of Intent for the Program to End Modern Slavery (PEMS) for Fiscal Year 2025. PEMS aims to substantially reduce human trafficking and its associated harms through innovative, evidence-based interventions. Since 2016, Congress has appropriated $25 million annually for this program, with $200 million obligated to date.
The TIP Office intends to fund projects that implement and rigorously evaluate high-potential and high-impact anti-trafficking interventions. These interventions may include:
- Programs with preliminary evidence of effectiveness that require formal evaluation.
- Interventions successful in other fields but not yet adapted or tested for human trafficking.
- Research-backed program designs that have not yet been implemented or evaluated due to lack of funding.
Local expertise and partnerships with government, academia, civil society, international organizations, and the private sector are considered critical for successful project implementation.
Important: This announcement is a Notice of Intent only. The TIP Office is not currently accepting applications. Researchers and organizations should monitor for future funding announcements related to this program.
