Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00306
The Rocky Mountain National Park Visitor Use and Transportation Management Study (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00306) is a National Park Service funding action under the U.S. Department of the Interior focused on analyzing and improving how visitors move through and experience Rocky Mountain National Park, with particular attention to transportation and overall visitor use management. The activity is framed as a study effort rather than construction or direct operations, and it sits within the National Park Service assistance listing tied to CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number 15.945.
This opportunity is classified as a discretionary award and uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument. In practice, that means the National Park Service anticipates having substantial involvement in shaping or participating in the work as it is carried out, such as collaborating on study design, data needs, coordination with park staff, and ensuring the work aligns with park management objectives. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," indicating the project does not fit neatly into standard categories like research, education, or construction and instead is specifically tailored to the transportation and visitor use planning context described in the notice.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, which typically includes state universities and similar public academic entities. That eligibility scope suggests the project is intended to be conducted by an academic partner with the technical expertise to perform transportation analysis, visitor use assessments, modeling, data collection, and planning support in collaboration with park managers.
The notice is labeled as a "Notice of Intent to Award" rather than a request for applications, meaning it was not posted as an open competition where multiple applicants submit proposals for review. Instead, the agency indicated its intent to make a specific award (often to a pre-identified partner) under the cooperative agreement framework. The expected number of awards is one, and the maximum award amount listed (the award ceiling) is $74,126, setting the upper funding limit anticipated for the agreement.
The opportunity was created on May 31, 2017. Because it is not a request for applications, the "Original Closing Date" field does not function like a typical application deadline; it signals that the action is an intent-to-award notice rather than an open solicitation. Overall, the grant supports a targeted, collaborative study effort aimed at informing transportation and visitor use management decisions at Rocky Mountain National Park, with a single academic institution expected to carry out the work alongside the National Park Service.Apply for P17AS00306
