Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00376
The Visitor Use Experience Interactive Web Maps Development opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00376) was a National Park Service grant under the U.S. Department of the Interior focused on creating interactive, web-based maps to improve how the public explores and understands nine National Historic Trails across a wide geographic footprint. The core deliverable was a series of visitor-focused interactive maps that could be embedded directly into existing websites, allowing trail managers and partner sites to present locations, related resources, and other trail features in a more visual, connected, and user-friendly way. The trails covered were El Camino Real de los Tejas, Oregon, Mormon Pioneer, Santa Fe, Trail of Tears, California, Pony Express, El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro, and Old Spanish National Historic Trails, spanning more than 25 states.
The funding was offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, which typically means the selected recipient would work closely with the National Park Service during planning and implementation rather than operating entirely independently. The program was categorized under Natural Resources and tied to CFDA number 15.945. Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, indicating that the National Park Service intended this work to be carried out by a university or similar public academic institution with relevant technical capacity (such as GIS, web mapping, cartography, user experience design, and digital interpretation).
The anticipated scale of the award was relatively targeted: the opportunity listed an award ceiling of $78,667 and expected to make one award. The notice was created on July 11, 2019, with an original application closing date of July 20, 2019, reflecting a short submission window. Overall, the opportunity was aimed at producing practical, public-facing digital tools that strengthen visitor experience and interpretation by making trail sites and features easier to discover and understand through embedded interactive mapping across multiple trail-related web platforms.Apply for P19AS00376
