Abby Long points us to this call for proposals for a State Department project on estimating the prevalence of human trafficking:
The African Programming and Research Initiative to End Slavery (APRIES) is pleased to announce a funding opportunity available through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of State, Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (J/TIP) with the following two aims:
To document the robustness of various methodological approaches in human trafficking prevalence research.
To identify and build the capacity of human trafficking teams in the design, testing, and dissemination of human trafficking prevalence data.
To achieve these aims, we are seeking strong research teams to apply at least two methods of estimating human trafficking prevalence in a selected hot spot and sector outside the United States.*View the full call for proposals of the Prevalence Reduction Innovation Forum (PRIF).
