Opportunity Information: Apply for NOI ILAB 18 12
The "Strengthening Government Labor Law Enforcement" opportunity is a Notice of Intent (NOI) from the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL), Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB), signaling that a formal Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) may be released later. This NOI is not an open solicitation and USDOL is not accepting applications at this time. The agency is essentially giving potential applicants an early heads-up that a competitive funding opportunity is planned, assuming funds are available, and that the detailed application instructions and requirements will only appear once the FOA is published.
If funded, ILAB intends to make a single award in the form of a cooperative agreement (meaning USDOL expects to be substantially involved in the project’s direction and oversight, more so than in a typical grant). The project’s central objective is to improve the effectiveness of government enforcement of labor laws in ways that align with relevant labor standards. The approach described is systems-focused: instead of addressing one isolated issue, the project is meant to identify and close gaps across the core components of a comprehensive labor law enforcement system. Specifically, it will concentrate on three major pillars: (1) the country’s legal framework (the laws, regulations, and related policies that define labor rights and obligations), (2) the labor inspection system (the institutions and processes that monitor compliance, investigate violations, and carry out inspections), and (3) the labor adjudication system (the mechanisms for resolving labor disputes and enforcing remedies, such as labor courts, tribunals, or administrative bodies).
Geographically, the initial implementation is expected to begin in Honduras and Georgia, with the possibility of expansion to additional countries. Any additional countries would be selected in consultation with USDOL, indicating that the final geographic scope may be shaped collaboratively after award and may respond to USDOL priorities, emerging needs, or strategic considerations. While the NOI does not provide program design details, the framing implies the selected organization would likely support government institutions through activities such as diagnostic assessments of enforcement gaps, capacity building and training, improvements to inspection and case management procedures, strengthening inter-agency coordination, and practical reforms that help laws translate into real-world compliance and effective dispute resolution.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is listed as a discretionary award under the Employment, Labor and Training funding activity category, with CFDA number 17.401. The anticipated funding level is up to an award ceiling of $7,000,000, and USDOL expects to make one award. The listing shows a creation date of June 8, 2018, and an original closing date of August 31, 2018, but that date should not be interpreted as an active deadline for submission because the agency has clearly stated that this is only a notice of intent and not an application period.
The FOA was expected to be published by ETA’s Office of Grants Management as soon as possible and not later than August, though the notice also cautions that timing could change. Interested organizations are directed to monitor Grants.gov, because that is the official platform where the FOA would be posted if it is released, and USDOL will not distribute the FOA through email or paper copies. The notice also points readers to ILAB’s grants webpage for general guidelines and examples of prior cooperative agreement applications, which suggests that prospective applicants should use those materials to understand the typical structure and expectations of ILAB-funded cooperative agreements while waiting for the official FOA.Apply for NOI ILAB 18 12
