OVC FY 2026 Improving Outcomes for Child and Youth Victims of Human Trafficking
Funds state or Tribal efforts to integrate human trafficking policy and programming and strengthen coordinated statewide approaches to services for child and youth victims of human trafficking.
⚑ Eligibility is not stated in the notice; likely targeted to state or Tribal applicants based on the program purpose. · Funds programming/service integration at the state or Tribal level, not research. · Focus is trafficking victims who are children and youth.
This is primarily a service-delivery and victim-services program for child and youth trafficking, centered on trafficking intervention, coordination, and direct outcomes rather than this team’s usual survey, risk-perception, warning, energy, climate, or education-policy evaluation lines. The closest overlap is general policy/public-health expertise, but it is not a plausible PI-level fit for this roster.
