Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Ecological Studies and Projects" (Funding Opportunity Number P12AC10446) is a discretionary funding action administered by the National Park Service. It is categorized under an "Other" funding activity type, with the agency explicitly clarifying that this listing is tied to a specific task agreement rather than an open, competitive solicitation. The core purpose stated for the award is to support ecological projects, described broadly as "ecological studies and projects," but the public synopsis does not provide further detail on the scope of work, project locations, deliverables, or technical requirements beyond that general ecological focus.
This opportunity was not open for general application. The announcement repeatedly notes that the task agreement had already been awarded to Outward Bound, Inc., meaning the selection was already made and no additional proposals were being requested. As a result, standard competitive elements like an application deadline and eligibility competition do not apply in the usual way. The listed original and current closing dates both state that the task agreement has been awarded, reinforcing that the posting functions more as a public record or notice than a call for applications. The eligible applicant category is listed as "Others," but the eligibility explanation again clarifies that the award was specifically to Outward Bound, Inc., indicating that other organizations were not being invited to apply under this notice.
The funding amount for the action is straightforward and fixed. The estimated total funding is $40,000, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also $40,000, indicating a single award at that exact amount. The opportunity expected one award, matching the statement that the agreement had already been issued. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient was not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award.
From a program classification standpoint, the opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations." That CFDA linkage suggests a conservation and youth engagement context, which aligns with Outward Bound's typical mission and programming, although the notice itself does not spell out the youth or service components of the ecological work. The funding instrument type is labeled "Other," which commonly indicates something outside the standard grant or cooperative agreement labels used in many federal postings, and in this case is tied to the agency's use of a task agreement mechanism.
In terms of timing and status, the posting date and creation date are both June 26, 2012, and it was archived the next day on June 27, 2012. The short public lifecycle is consistent with a notice that documents an already-completed award rather than maintaining an open application window. There is no additional information link provided in the listing.
