Subject: WNPA Research Grant RFP is Now Available - Submission Deadline 11/16/2021

Good Day NPS Partners,

As you know, in response to the unprecedented circumstances created by the COVID-19 pandemic, we suspended our typical grant research Request for Proposal (RFP) cycle for fiscal year 2021. Knowing how important research is to the parks, we have been looking forward to the time when we could revive our historic research grant program. I am delighted to announce that time has arrived - the call for FY2022 research grant proposals is now open.

We are excited to announce the research grant process has transitioned to an electronic platform in conjunction with the launch of our new organizational website. Our goal in doing this is two-fold; standardizing the process so it is simple for our partners to navigate while ensuring WNPA captures the information needed to publicly share research findings and stories through a variety of mediums.

To learn more about the WNPA grant research RFP process, visit WNPA | 2022 Research Grants<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwnpa.org%2Fresearch-grants%2F&data=04%7C01%7Csallie_hejl%40nps.gov%7C618be48ebbf0415eadfa08d9891192fb%7C0693b5ba4b184d7b9341f32f400a5494%7C0%7C0%7C637691530885831031%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=96nrP9JKXjjfRa5J4HpVzeU5PaHyUKIs0FuiTjsQ6vM%3D&reserved=0> where you can download a copy of the full RFP and submit your proposal electronically through the web portal. Should you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to contact Julie Tainter, WNPA Office Manager, at 520-789-7400 or julie.tainter at wnpa.org<mailto:julie.tainter at wnpa.org>. For fiscal year 2022 project funding consideration, all proposals and renewal budget request(s) must be submitted online through the WNPA web portal by November 16, 2021; this deadline is absolute. For your convenience, attached is a quick reference guide to navigating the new grant web portal.

Since 1938 WNPA has worked to connect generations to parks in meaningful ways, all with one simple goal: create advocates who want to preserve and protect these special places for everyone, for all time. Sharing your research results, information and assets gives us the ability to create a story that inspires people to become a park advocate - more park advocates lead to more donations and more donations equates to more funding for research!

We look forward to learning more about your proposed project and thank you for your contributions, support, and commitment to the national park ideal and Western National Parks Association.

Be Well,

Julie Tainter on behalf of

Jim Cook, Chief Executive Officer
