The organization has been awarded federal grant sub-awards, indicating its specialized work in addressing human trafficking vulnerabilities and developing community-based health interventions.

Through recent federal grant sub-awards from New York University, Heal Trafficking Inc. has been involved in a complex, multi-phase research project targeting human trafficking reduction among Denotified Tribes (DNTs) in two regions of India. The project utilizes a community health worker (CHW) delivered, community-based participatory intervention designed to reduce trafficking vulnerabilities. The intervention involves recruiting and training two types of CHWs - Community Mobilizers and Health Fellows - who are sourced from the DNT community and trained in anti-human trafficking advocacy, harm reduction counseling, and resource mobilization. The project's approach is comprehensive, addressing trafficking vulnerabilities across multiple domains including migration, job market risks, and working conditions. Key methodological components include using the PEARR tool and HEAL Protocol Toolkit, establishing Community Awareness and Action Groups (CAAG), and conducting a randomized controlled trial to assess the intervention's effectiveness in improving community knowledge, livelihood opportunities, and ultimately reducing human trafficking incidents.
