Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00294

The opportunity titled "Visitor Use Monitoring for Glacier National Park - P16AC00970 Mod" (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00294) is a National Park Service (NPS), Department of the Interior notice of intent to award a cooperative agreement related to visitor use monitoring at Glacier National Park. It falls under the discretionary funding category and is associated with CFDA number 15.945. The activity areas listed for the work include education, information and statistics, and science and technology or other research and development, which signals that the project is intended to generate usable data and analysis to support park management, potentially alongside public-facing education or information components tied to visitor use.

This is not an open solicitation and it is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it functions as a public notice that the NPS intends to provide financial assistance through a cooperative agreement, meaning the NPS is expecting to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out (for example, coordinating methods, data needs, reporting formats, or integrating findings into park operations). Because it is a notice of intent to award, it typically indicates that a recipient has already been identified or is in the final stages of selection through a non-competitive or otherwise predefined process, rather than through a broad competition.

Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, which generally includes state universities and colleges. The posting lists an expected number of awards of one, reinforcing that the funding is intended for a single recipient rather than multiple subawards. The award ceiling is $188,623, which represents the maximum amount expected for this action. The notice was created on June 19, 2019, and the original closing date field is presented as "NATIONAL PARK SERVICE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD," reflecting that there is no conventional application deadline because the announcement is informational rather than competitive.

In practical terms, the notice communicates that the NPS plans to fund a targeted effort focused on monitoring visitor use in Glacier National Park, likely to support decisions around visitor capacity, resource protection, visitor experience, and operational planning. The emphasis on monitoring suggests activities such as collecting and analyzing visitor counts, patterns of use, spatial or temporal distribution, and related metrics that help the park understand how visitation affects facilities, natural resources, and visitor experiences.
