Projects must benefit an NPS unit in the Intermountain Region along the U.S. – Mexico border as well as a protected area in Mexico by addressing cultural or natural resource issues shared by both countries.

Educational institutions, private non-profit organizations, and state, local and tribal governments are also eligible to apply as well as NPS units along the border. Foreign organizations and governments outside the United States and its territories are not eligible to apply.

Project categories include:

• Research
• Protection
• Education/Information Sharing

A 2027 Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) has been developed and is awaiting approval for posting. The SWBRPP NOFO typically coincides with the NPS Servicewide Comprehensive Call (SCC) for funding requests which is also awaiting approval for posting.
