We also welcome you to join us at a joint virtual* conference* with the International Labour Organization (ILO) and International Organization for Migration (IOM) to discuss findings to date from research funded by HTRI and the ILO/IOM-implemented Research to Action (RTA) project. More information about both opportunities can be found below. *Call for funding for full research projects focused on counter-trafficking interventions* HTRI invites researchers, policymakers, and implementing organizations to submit applications for funding to implement research that examines interventions across the “4Ps” of trafficking (prevention, protection, prosecution, and partnership). Research should be designed to directly measure impact within specific sectors of counter-trafficking and respond to one or more of the learning questions in HTRI’s recently-updated Research and Learning Agenda <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://engage.poverty-action.org/e/759073/rafficking-research-initiative/2szkcl/559381829?h=AYXwNaMEHWJK5kuDpTczPv7_ec06QjgEP-2NSGimyGA__;!!IBzWLUs!VJ73f4q9wk52t3yeGgbSo_iZxlYQC0ipFYzU7O12H1dxQiiNOXtpou_Y0bUolTH2Dqq9iFKD5tH7CX4Rc-nWUm2wu3A$> . The objective of these research grants, ranging from $50,000 to $450,000, is to improve the evidence base on effective interventions to reduce trafficking and protect victims. Please note that only applications that include the use of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or similar rigorous research methods will be considered for funding. *Applications will be accepted through 11:59 pm US Eastern time on Friday, August 5, 2022. HTRI plans to make up to six awards in this funding round.
