The Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) is pleased to announce the release of a new competitive solicitation, the Fiscal Year 2012 Victims of Human Trafficking Fellowship Program. Applications must be submitted by May 10, 2012, at 11:59 p.m. eastern time, through Grants.gov at http://www.grants.gov.
This OVC program will award one cooperative agreement of up to $135,000 for an individual to work onsite in Washington, D.C., as an OVC Fellow, for a 12-month project period. The program is designed to span 3 years, contingent on the grantee’s performance and the availability of funds for the second and third years of the fellowship.
The individual selected for this fellowship will assist OVC in developing and enhancing training, technical assistance, and public awareness resources that support the expansion and effectiveness of services for victims of sex and labor trafficking within the United States (male and female; adult and minor; U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, and foreign nationals). The fellowship recipient will work with OVC’s Trafficking Team and OVC’s National Training and Program Development Division to help develop and disseminate capacity-building resources for trafficking victim services professionals, law enforcement, and allied professionals.
The fellowship recipient must have prior experience working on initiatives related to human trafficking and must be an individual who demonstrates the financial and administrative capacity to manage the cooperative agreement. The applicant must agree to abstain from any outside employment, either compensated or uncompensated, for the duration of the fellowship, unless approved in writing by the OVC Director.
Applicants should read the OVC Fellowship Guidelines that are available at www.ojp.usdoj.gov/ovc/pdftxt/OVC_Fellowship_Guidelines.pdf.
Fellowship applicants are strongly advised to begin the application process in Grants.gov well in advance of the May 10, 2012, deadline.
