Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00550
Visibility Data Analysis and Image Display Techniques (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00550) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action under the Department of the Interior, structured as a cooperative agreement in the Natural Resources activity area (CFDA 15.945). The purpose of the work is to strengthen the scientific understanding of how air pollutants affect national park and wilderness resources, with a particular emphasis on visibility impacts and how those impacts are analyzed and communicated through data products and image display methods.
The opportunity is grounded in a straightforward management and public-interest problem: people visit national parks expecting clear views and healthy, functioning ecosystems, but air pollution can reduce visual range, create haze, and contribute to ecological stress. In more severe situations, pollution can also present risks to human health. This project supports the technical work needed to measure and interpret those effects, and then translate them into practical information that can guide decisions aimed at protecting park resources and preserving visitor experience.
A core feature of the effort is the partnership between NPS and Colorado State University (CSU) scientists. The collaboration is intended to advance and refine methods for analyzing visibility-related datasets and presenting that information in ways that are useful for both technical audiences and the general public. The resulting science is meant to feed directly into NPS planning documents, strengthen NPS consultations with state and federal air quality agencies, and improve public interpretation and communication about air quality conditions and resource impacts in parks.
From an administrative standpoint, the listing indicates eligibility for public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. However, this notice is not an open call for proposals. It is a Notice of Intent for a task agreement being issued under an existing cooperative agreement (P17AC00971) that had already gone through a competitive process, so no applications were being accepted at the time of posting. The anticipated award profile reflects a single expected award, with an award ceiling of $863,600, and a creation date of August 17, 2018.
In practical terms, the grant action is best read as support for an ongoing, specialized technical program: analyzing visibility and air pollution data relevant to national parks, improving image-based display and interpretation techniques, and ensuring those outputs can be applied to real-world park management, interagency air quality coordination, and public-facing education about why clean air matters for both scenic vistas and ecosystem health.Apply for P18AS00550
