Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00427
The Recreational Trail Use Visitor Survey, Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area funding opportunity (P17AS00427) is a National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement offered through the U.S. Department of the Interior. It supports a collaborative research project with an academic partner to refresh and update the park's visitor trail use survey and related use-assessment tools, with the goal of measuring current recreational trail use conditions in Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area in southern California. The core purpose is to help the park understand how trail recreation patterns have changed over time by directly comparing results from an earlier recreational trail use survey conducted in 2002 with a new, comparable survey planned for 2018. In practice, this means the partner would work with the NPS to modernize the survey approach while preserving enough consistency to make trend comparisons meaningful, and to apply appropriate assessment methods to capture who is using the trails, how they are using them, and how usage levels and user experiences may be shifting.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses a cooperative agreement instrument, signaling that the NPS expects substantial involvement in the work rather than a hands-off grant. The activity categories align with information and statistics and natural resources, reflecting that the project is both data-driven and tied to recreation management in a protected landscape. The program is associated with CFDA (now often referenced as Assistance Listing) number 15.945. The NPS anticipated making a single award, with a maximum funding amount (award ceiling) of $80,000, indicating a focused, one-partner effort intended to produce an updated dataset and tools that the park can apply to recreation planning and management decisions.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional details referred to in the Notice of Funding Opportunity, but the solicitation text makes clear the NPS is specifically seeking proposals from academic partners. Key administrative dates included a posting/creation date of June 22, 2017 and an original application deadline of July 24, 2017. Overall, the grant is aimed at producing an updated, comparable trail use survey and associated assessment outputs that allow the park to quantify and interpret changes in recreational trail use between 2002 and the 2018 study period, supporting informed management of trail resources and visitor experiences in the Santa Monica Mountains.Apply for P17AS00427
