National Park Service

Description

The UW-NPS Research Center is a university-operated seasonal facility in NPS-owned historic assets at the AMK Ranch Historic District in north-central Grand Teton National Park, existing in that location since 1976 and maintained under a General Agreement signed by the NPS and University of Wyoming in 2010. The entity maintains a long-term cooperative research program, a shared funding initiative between the University of Wyoming and the National Park Service, to promote cost-effective research in the NPS units of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. The NPS provides, by agreement, a minimum of $25,000 per year for research grants, which is matched by the University of Wyoming. Individual research project ideas are submitted to the University of Wyoming in response to a request for proposals, and awarded competitively based on merit, contributions to science, and applicability to park and ecosystem needs.
