Good morning,

My name is Julie Thompson, writer and public relations coordinator at Western National Parks Association. I'm reaching out because our research grant application cycle has opened and I thought you and your organization would find this funding opportunity relevant.

This link will take you to our press release<https://wnpa.org/western-national-parks-association-will-accept-nominations-and-applications-for-annual-awards-grants-scholarships-starting-october-2/?utm_source=outlook&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=annual-awards-submissions&utm_content=publicrelations>, but I have included the "bullet points" below!

WNPA RESEARCH GRANT

WNPA supports research by providing grants for projects that benefit national parks’ management, preservation, and interpretation. Multiple awards in varying amounts are available in this category. Grants are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis and will remain open through February 29, 2024, or until funds are exhausted.

Grant projects must originate in one of the more than 70+ WNPA-affiliated parks in Arizona, California, Colorado, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, and Wyoming. For a list of affiliate parks and for assistance connecting with a national park, complete the Connect Me to a Park<https://form.jotform.com/232527605239053> form. WNPA will work to facilitate the relationship between lead investigators and national park staff. All fields of scholarly research are supported, including

  *   Anthropology
  *   Archaeology
  *   Botany
  *   Citizen Science
  *   Ecology
  *   Geology
  *   History
  *   Natural Story
  *   Social Science
  *   Zoology

WNPA Grants - Western National Parks Association<https://wnpa.org/wnpa-grants/?utm_source=outlook&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=annual-awards-submissions&utm_content=publicrelations>

Western National Parks Association (WNPA) has provided grants to researchers and teachers for the past three decades, supporting relevant projects that deepen public understanding and appreciation of the park's natural, cultural, and historical landscapes, and shape future generations of park stewards. WNPA grants strengthen connections between people and parks, funding scholarly research as well as

wnpa.org

We also have a scholarship for students and young adults, which includes undergrad and graduate students, who have an interest in public lands and national parks.

I'll include the bullets for that scholarship here:

ERNEST QUINTANA AND MARTY STERKEL EDUCATION SCHOLARSHIP

  *   Scholarships are awarded to those interested in working with the National Park Service, similar government agencies, and nonprofit heritage conservation organizations.
