Opportunity Information: Apply for P20AS00092
The Department of the Interior, National Park Service is offering a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity titled "Visitor Use Study at Waco Mammoth National Monument" (Funding Opportunity Number P20AS00092). This funding is intended to support a focused visitor use study at Waco Mammoth National Monument that will generate practical, decision-ready information about who visits the site, what experiences and services they value, and what interests or needs they bring with them. The work is positioned as applied research that directly supports on-the-ground park planning and day-to-day management, with findings expected to help shape future decisions about visitor services, interpretation, facilities, and overall site management.
A central purpose of the opportunity is to deepen and formalize collaboration between the National Park Service and Baylor University, while also advancing the broader Waco Mammoth Partnership, which includes the National Park Service, the City of Waco, the Waco Mammoth Foundation, and Baylor University. The project is designed to create meaningful, local research opportunities for Baylor students by involving them in real-world data collection and analysis connected to a nationally significant public site. In addition to producing useful information for park decision-makers, the study is meant to reinforce partnership infrastructure and demonstrate how university-based research capacity can be leveraged to address practical management questions in a national monument setting.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the National Park Service during the project period. In practice, that often means coordination on study design, alignment with agency priorities and visitor use management needs, and collaboration on deliverables so that the final products are usable within National Park Service planning and operations. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945, reflecting its placement within the National Park Service assistance portfolio.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, aligning with the stated goal of engaging Baylor University and supporting student participation in locally grounded, applied research. The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $45,108, indicating a relatively targeted project scope centered on collecting and synthesizing visitor data rather than constructing infrastructure or running large-scale multi-year programs. The opportunity was created on July 16, 2020, with an original closing date of July 25, 2020, suggesting a short application window typical of some partnership- or project-specific cooperative agreements.
Overall, this grant opportunity funds a visitor use study that serves two connected outcomes: first, delivering actionable insights about visitor characteristics and interests at Waco Mammoth National Monument to inform future management decisions; and second, strengthening a standing partnership framework by integrating Baylor University faculty and students into applied research that benefits the monument and its partner organizations.Apply for P20AS00092
