Opportunity Information: Apply for NOI ILAB 21 06
This opportunity is a Notice of Intent (NOI) from the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL), Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB), signaling that the agency plans to release a future Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) for a project in Malaysia focused on labor rights abuses in supply chains. The key point is that this notice is not the FOA itself and applications are not being accepted yet. Instead, it serves as an early heads-up that a competitive funding process is expected, assuming funds are available.
The planned award would be made as a cooperative agreement, meaning the funder typically expects to have substantial involvement in the project compared with a standard grant. ILAB indicates it intends to make one award (ExpectedAwards: 1) with an anticipated award ceiling of up to $5,000,000. The purpose of the project is to strengthen worker voice and improve access to remedy in order to address forced labor, child labor, and other labor rights violations tied specifically to the production of Malaysian palm oil and garments. In practical terms, that emphasis on "worker voice" and "access to remedy" suggests activities that help workers speak up safely and effectively, and that improve their ability to obtain help or justice when abuses occur, such as through complaint mechanisms, representation, or systems that connect workers to remedies.
The notice provides an expected timeline for the formal competition. USDOL's Employment and Training Administration (ETA) Office of Grants Management anticipated publishing the FOA around July 14, 2021, with the intention to make an award by November 30, 2021, although the notice clearly states these dates could change. Because this is only a notice of intent, it does not include the detailed program requirements, evaluation criteria, allowable activities, reporting expectations, or required attachments that would normally appear in an FOA.
For applicants, the instruction is to watch for the FOA on Grants.gov, which would be the official distribution channel if and when the FOA is released. The notice also points interested organizations to ILAB grant resources and prior cooperative agreement examples on USDOL websites (dol.gov/ilab/grants and dol.gov/agencies/ilab/resources/grants) to understand general guidelines and what successful applications have looked like in past ILAB funding rounds. No email or paper copies of the FOA would be provided, reinforcing that Grants.gov is the place to monitor.
Administrative details included in the source data identify the opportunity as discretionary funding under CFDA 17.401, with the listing created June 14, 2021. The opportunity number is NOI ILAB 21 06, and eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others" with a note to consult future eligibility details in the FOA. In short, ILAB is signaling a forthcoming, single-award cooperative agreement opportunity of up to $5 million aimed at combating forced labor and child labor in Malaysia's palm oil and garment sectors by bolstering worker voice and strengthening pathways to remedy, but it is not yet open for applications until the FOA is formally issued.Apply for NOI ILAB 21 06
