Opportunity Information: Apply for NOI ILAB 23 07
The Research, Innovation, and Strategic Engagement (RISE) to Promote Freedom of Association and Collective Bargaining Globally notice is a Notice of Intent (NOI) from the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL), Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB). An NOI is not an open funding announcement, and this specific notice explicitly states that there is no related solicitation and no applications are being accepted. In other words, it is advance public documentation of ILAB's intention to fund a specific effort, assuming funds are available, rather than a competitive grant opportunity that outside organizations can apply for.
The core purpose of the intended award is to strengthen global respect for two fundamental labor rights: freedom of association (workers and employers being able to form and join organizations of their choosing without interference) and the effective recognition of the right to collective bargaining (the ability for workers, typically through unions, to negotiate with employers over wages, hours, and working conditions). ILAB's stated aim is to support an "enabling environment" for these rights, meaning legal, institutional, and practical conditions that make it possible for workers and their organizations to operate freely and bargain effectively. The activity emphasis is on generating knowledge and mobilizing more effective, evidence-based action, which signals a focus on research, learning, and strategies that can be used by governments, social partners, and other stakeholders to improve real-world outcomes.
The notice indicates ILAB intends to provide the funding to the International Labor Organization (ILO). This points to a single, expected recipient and aligns with the eligibility field being broadly categorized while clarifying, in the description, that the planned funding is directed to the ILO. The authority cited (DLMS 2-836 G.3) is a justification for using a single-source approach, stating that the services are available from only one responsible source, no substitute will suffice, or the recipient has unique qualifications to carry out the work. Practically, that means ILAB is signaling it believes the ILO is uniquely positioned to execute the envisioned global research and engagement agenda on freedom of association and collective bargaining.
Administratively, the opportunity is listed as a discretionary award and the anticipated funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement. A cooperative agreement generally implies substantial involvement by the federal agency during implementation compared to a standard grant, such as collaboration on planning, technical direction, coordination, or shared oversight of key deliverables. The notice lists an expected number of awards of one, reinforcing that this is not a multi-award, competitive program. The award ceiling is shown as USD 12,000,000, which represents the maximum amount anticipated under this intended award (subject to the availability of funds, as the notice emphasizes). The CFDA/Assistance Listing number provided is 17.401, which corresponds to USDOL international labor affairs assistance activities.
In summary, this notice communicates that ILAB is planning, pending available funding, a single cooperative agreement of up to $12 million with the ILO to develop and apply research and evidence-based strategies that advance global freedom of association and collective bargaining. It is informational only and does not provide an opportunity for other organizations to submit proposals or compete for the funding.Apply for NOI ILAB 23 07
