Opportunity Summary:
The "Archive Backlog Cataloging Project" (Funding Opportunity Number P12AC301127) is not an open call for proposals. It is a Notice of Intent from the National Park Service indicating the agency plans to make a cooperative agreement award to a single, specifically identified entity, rather than competing the award through a standard funding opportunity announcement. In practical terms, this means the notice functions more like a public disclosure of an intended, non-competitive award than an invitation for multiple organizations to apply.
The opportunity is listed under the discretionary category and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically indicates the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply issuing funds (for example, coordination, technical input, oversight, or collaboration during project execution). The activity category is labeled as Education, and the CFDA listing provided is 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which is the program classification associated with the funding.
Only one award is expected, with total estimated funding of $49,223. The award ceiling and floor are both $49,223, signaling a fixed intended award amount rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated. While the eligibility field notes nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) IRS status (excluding institutions of higher education), the single-source intent means eligibility language does not operate the way it would in a competitive grant; it mainly describes the type of entity involved or generally allowable recipient types.
Key dates show the notice was posted and created on August 15, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 22, 2012, and an archive date of September 21, 2012. Anyone needing access assistance for the full announcement materials is directed to contact Susan Velie, Financial Assistance Officer, at Olympic National Park, phone (360) 565-3114.

Is this an open grant opportunity that organizations can apply to?
No. This is not an open call for proposals.

What does it mean that this is a Notice of Intent?

Only one award is expected.

The total estimated funding is $49,223.
