A successful applicant must be the planner, fiscal agent, monitor, and technical assistance provider for the sub-awardees. The grant recipient may retain no more than 40 percent of the grant award. ORR seeks to award one cooperative agreement per geographic area for a period of three years.The Director of ORR will give priority to geographic areas with reported high incidence of human trafficking.The Director of ORR may give priority consideration to applications that demonstrate three or more years of experience in identifying and assisting both sex and labor trafficking victims, making service referrals for trafficking victims, providing referrals to law enforcement, and providing technical assistance and trainings on human trafficking.
