About this program
The Department of Labor's Bureau of International Labor Affairs administers the International Labor Programs (CFDA 17.007), which funds bilateral and multilateral technical assistance, child labor and forced labor mitigation, worker rights initiatives, and microfinance programs internationally.
The source provided does not include a grant award portfolio block, recent grant awards, or open grant opportunities; therefore, recent award activity, funding concentration, award economics, and current solicitation status cannot be determined from this source. The program description indicates that projects generally run three to four years and that funds are drawn down through the Payment Management System as expenses are incurred, but no specific award dates, recipient names, dollar magnitudes, or current funding timelines are present in the source material.
The program funds discretionary activities only and may operate through contracts, grants, subgrants, and other arrangements. Eligible activities include technical assistance to enforce trade commitments and strengthen labor standards; research and monitoring of international labor conditions; combating international child labor, forced labor, and human trafficking; and model programs addressing worker rights issues in countries with which the United States maintains free trade agreements or trade preference programs.
Selection occurs through a technical review panel composed of federal staff and peer reviewers who evaluate eligible applications against published criteria. Award notifications are issued following Grant Officer selection; rejected applicants receive notification of non-selection. Recipients expending $750,000 or more in federal awards annually are subject to single or program-specific audit under 2 CFR 200, Subpart F.
To assess current pursuit viability, consult Grants.gov for active International Labor Programs solicitations, recent award announcements, and funding opportunity details including application deadlines, budget ceilings, and eligible applicant categories.

How to apply
- Award procedure
Procedures for each project are specified in the applicable request for proposals. Generally, the procedure is as follows: A technical review panel composed of federal staff and peer reviewers evaluates eligible submitted applications. The panel prepares a report for the Grant Officer identifying the strengths and weaknesses of each application and the cumulative rating. Selections are made based on the best rated proposals, as well as other factors as cited in the funding opportunity announcement. Once selections are made by the Grant Officer, an Award Notification is sent to awardees. If an application is rejected, a letter is sent to the applicant as notification that they were not selected as a recipient.
