Western National Parks Association
Grant Amount: $60,000
Information
The Western National Parks Association will begin accepting research grant applications on October 1.
Funding is available to help advance the management, preservation, and interpretation of our national parks. The Association is committed to supporting meaningful inquiry in parks, helping shape the national park experience for every visitor. One of the key goals of the research program is interpretation—turning research findings into relevant narratives that engage, inform, and entertain.
Proposals are typically generated in one of two ways:
- A National Park Service official determines a need for research and finds a principal investigator, or
- A researcher contacts the park with an idea for research.
All fields of scholarly research are supported, including anthropology, archaeology, botany, citizen science, ecology, geology, history, natural story, social science, and zoology.
Grant Amount
The funding limit for research grants is $20,000 for one-year projects; $40,000 for two-year projects; and $60,000
for three-year projects.
