Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00738
This grant opportunity, titled "Wilderness Character Map for Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve," is a National Park Service (NPS) funding action under the U.S. Department of the Interior focused on wilderness stewardship and landscape-scale analysis in Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, meaning the NPS expects to be substantially involved in the work rather than simply issuing a hands-off award. The opportunity sits in the Environment and Natural Resources category and is associated with CFDA number 15.945.
The core purpose of the project is to develop a Wilderness Character Map that depicts the current overall condition of wilderness character across the park and shows how that condition varies spatially across the landscape. In practice, this kind of map is meant to pull together multiple contributing factors (such as measures or indicators that relate to wilderness qualities) into a single, interpretable spatial product. By showing where wilderness character is stronger or more impacted, the map becomes a decision-support tool rather than just a static inventory.
A major intended use of the map is planning analysis. The opportunity explicitly emphasizes evaluating the effects of different planning alternatives on wilderness character. That typically means the map framework can be adjusted by changing the values or assumptions for different factors and then comparing the results across scenarios. This allows planners to see how proposed management actions, infrastructure decisions, access changes, or other operational choices might influence wilderness character in different parts of the park. Alongside broader planning, the map is also intended to support project-level decision-making by helping analyze the effects of specific proposed actions on wilderness character before they are implemented.
Another key objective is to establish a baseline for future monitoring. By documenting current conditions in a consistent, repeatable way, the Wilderness Character Map can serve as a reference point for later updates. Future monitoring efforts could recreate or refresh the map using comparable methods and data, allowing the park to track whether wilderness character is improving, declining, or remaining stable over time, and where those trends are occurring geographically.
The project also has a data-assessment component. As Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve goes through the process of building the map, the park expects to gain a clearer understanding of its existing datasets, including their strengths, gaps, and limitations. The description notes that this will help determine whether new data or higher-quality data will be needed for future planning work and for more robust analyses of effects on wilderness character. In other words, the deliverable is not only the map itself, but also the practical insight gained about data readiness and future information needs.
Administratively, the notice indicates it is a discretionary opportunity with an expected single award, and it is specifically described as a notice of intent to award to Saint Marys University of Minnesota. Eligible applicants are limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, aligning with the intended recipient type. The opportunity was created on August 28, 2017, with an original closing date of September 5, 2017. The award ceiling is listed as $50,000, with one expected award, suggesting a relatively focused, short-scope technical and analytical mapping effort rather than a multi-year large-scale program.Apply for P17AS00738
