Triple Bottom Line Accounting Competition
Posted by Economic Development Administration
Opportunity snapshot. This Grants.gov announcement — Triple Bottom Line Accounting Competition — is cataloged under number EDA07012010TBL and tied to CFDA assistance listing 11.312, posted by Economic Development Administration. Grants.gov currently shows the opportunity as closed, first posted on July 1, 2010. The funding category is Discretionary, delivered as a cooperative agreement.
Award economics. The award range on file is Up to $500,000. The agency has projected $1.5 million in total estimated funding for this announcement. It expects to issue 1 award. If the agency funds the expected 1 award from the $1.5 million estimated pool, the average award works out to roughly $1.5 million. Cost sharing or matching funds are required, meaning applicants must contribute a portion of the project budget from non-federal sources — factor this into your financial plan before drafting the proposal. Federal award ranges are often upper bounds; actual allocations reflect program appropriations, the strength of the applicant pool, and the evaluation committee's scoring.
Deadline and action path. This opportunity closed on August 13, 2010. Future funding cycles may be published under the same CFDA number, so monitoring the parent program page is the most reliable way to catch re-announcements. Every Grants.gov submission requires an active SAM.gov registration and a Unique Entity ID. Review the Eligibility section below carefully — federal eligibility categories (nonprofit, state or local government, tribal, individual, educational institution, small business) have distinct registration and reporting requirements. Pre-application outreach to the listed agency contact is permitted and often welcomed — it helps clarify scope and scoring priorities.

Description
As noted above, EDA’s mission is to lead the federal economic development agenda by promoting innovation and competitiveness, preparing American regions for growth and success in the worldwide economy. Pursuant to its Research and Evaluation program, EDA seeks applications to research, develop, and disseminate metrics to enable policymakers and practitioners to more effectively understand how to assess the triple bottom line (economic, environmental, and social impacts) of various economic development activities. EDA makes grant investments that support and foster economic development in distressed regions. Currently, EDA’s primary measure for assessing potential investments focuses on economic outcomes (e.g., the amount of private investment leveraged and the number of jobs created and retained). For reporting to stakeholders, EDA employs forecasts of these performance measures in its competitive grant selection process and post-award administration. EDA seeks to broaden its perspective using a more comprehensive, triple bottom line, approach. The study is intended to provide the tools to implement this approach. EDA solicits competitive applications from organizations or consortia that will build on the existing body of research and experience related to the triple bottom line concept to identify, develop, and disseminate appropriate metrics for practitioners and policymakers to utilize to assess the broad array of impacts that economic development efforts have in their regions. EDA solicits applications from qualified researchers to accomplish the project tasks and scope of work described in the FFO announcement. A link to the FFO is provided below under "Full Announcement Link."
