Good Afternoon NPS Partners, WNPA Board of Directors and Staff,

National parks preserve our shared natural and cultural heritage. Public lands thrive when people from every generation and diverse cultural backgrounds connect with the complex stories and precious ecosystems that parks protect.  WNPA-funded research projects help ensure that everyone sees themselves in a national park.

On behalf of the WNPA team, I am delighted to let you know that the fiscal year 2024 research grant funding cycle opens on Monday, October 2, 2023. To submit a research proposal for this funding round, please have a look at the key highlights below.

  1.  Submissions will be accepted from October 2, 2023, through February 29, 2024, or until the allocated funding for this round is exhausted, whichever comes first.
  2.  The WNPA Research Committee will evaluate research proposals and render funding decisions on a first-come, first-serve basis in the order proposals are received.
  3.  Maximum funding is $20,000 per year per project.
  4.  NEW for this round, multiyear projects, up to 3 years, will be considered.  Maximum funding for a two-year project is $40,000, and $60,000 for three-year project.
  5.  All submissions must be submitted electronically through the WNPA web portal and include all required information.

For us, supporting research not only helps to create future park advocates but can also help heal the past by revealing and sharing the significant stories parks hold. We are excited to learn more about your proposed project and its impacts.
