Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Informing Visitor Use Mgmt Strategies for Moose Wilson Corridor, Grand Teton NP" is a National Park Service cooperative agreement focused on understanding and evaluating visitor-related social conditions in the Moose Wilson area of Grand Teton National Park. The core purpose is to support visitor use management by identifying what social conditions exist on the ground, what problems or tensions may be emerging as visitation occurs in that corridor, and what measurable indicators could be used to track the quality of visitor experiences and related social impacts over time. In practical terms, the project is meant to inform management strategies by supplying evidence about how people are using the area and how that use affects the social environment, including crowding, conflicts among user groups, perceptions of acceptable conditions, and other experience-quality factors that can guide planning and decision-making.
Administratively, this opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, meaning the National Park Service expected to have substantial involvement with the recipient in carrying out the work rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The funding activity is listed under a cultural resource category, and it falls under CFDA number 15.945, which covers cooperative research and training programs related to resources of the National Park System. The total estimated funding amount is $154,603, with a single expected award and no cost sharing or matching requirement. Although it appeared on grants.gov, it is explicitly not a request for applications; it was posted as a single-source award intended for Pennsylvania State University, and therefore it was not open for competitive submissions from other applicants despite the general eligibility category noting public and state-controlled institutions of higher education.
The posting dates indicate it was listed on August 19, 2013, created on August 21, 2013, and had an original and current closing date of August 22, 2013, reflecting the administrative window for a pre-identified award rather than a typical solicitation timeline. For access issues or administrative questions, the listed contact was Rita Mihalik, Financial Assistance Officer, reachable by phone at 301-432-7890 and by email at ritamihalik@nps.gov. Additional details were referenced through the grants.gov listing associated with the opportunity. Overall, the opportunity centers on producing actionable, research-based insight into the social dimension of visitor use in the Moose Wilson corridor so park managers can define, monitor, and respond to social indicators tied to the quality of visitor experience and acceptable conditions in that part of Grand Teton National Park.
