The Human Trafficking Research Initiative (HTRI) invites proposals from researchers and organizations that intend to design and carry out studies on how to reduce human trafficking or respond to the needs of human trafficking victims but need some additional time and support to push the research project to the next stage. We expect to fund a total of six to nine proposals from research teams interested in expanding the evidence to further investigate this important topic.

This document outlines the guidelines for this request for proposals, including:

• HTRI Research Focus
• Application Instructions
• Eligibility Criteria
• Evaluation Criteria
• IPA Country Program Primary Contacts
• Grant Terms and Conditions
• General Terms and Conditions

Any questions not covered in this document or on elsewhere on our website should be directed to the HTRI team at ipa_htri@poverty-action.org.
