Opportunity Information: Apply for FOA ILAB 20 04
The Supply Chains Tracing Project is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB), focused on strengthening the ability of governments, companies, civil society, and other stakeholders to trace goods through supply chains when there is a risk that child labor or forced labor is involved. The central aim is to improve "downstream tracing," meaning tracing that helps connect finished products and later-stage supply chain actors back to earlier production stages where labor abuses may occur, so that risks can be identified, verified, and addressed more effectively.
ILAB plans to make up to two cooperative agreements, with total funding of about $8,000,000 (depending on the availability of federal funds). Each award can be as large as $4,000,000 in total costs. Because the instrument is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, applicants should expect substantial involvement from ILAB during implementation, such as collaboration on work planning, oversight, and coordination to ensure the project meets federal objectives and produces usable results.
The funded projects are framed as technical assistance efforts, and the expected outputs are concrete and practical. First, the projects should increase the number of supply chain tracing methodologies that are tested, which implies evaluating and validating different approaches for tracking materials and products across multiple tiers of suppliers. Second, they should increase the number of tools that are piloted for supply chain tracing, meaning real-world trials of technologies or systems that can be adopted or adapted by industry and other users. Third, they are expected to expand dissemination, so that the tools and methodologies do not remain limited to a small set of partners but are shared broadly with relevant stakeholders who can apply them in different contexts and sectors.
The maximum period of performance is 4.5 years (54 months) from the effective date of the award, giving recipients time to design, test, pilot, refine, and then scale the outreach and uptake of successful tracing approaches. The opportunity is identified as FOA ILAB 20 04 under CFDA 17.401, and it is administered by ILAB within the Department of Labor. The original application closing date was September 8, 2020, with applications due by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Eligibility is listed as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement, indicating that a range of non-federal entities may be able to apply depending on the specific criteria ILAB set in the complete FOA.Apply for FOA ILAB 20 04
