Research Assistance

The Crown of the Continent Research Learning Center (CCRLC) is dedicated to increasing research opportunities in Glacier National Park, Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site, and Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument (Montana); and Waterton Lakes National Park (Alberta, Canada). Emphasis is placed on scientific collaboration with other agencies at all levels of government, regional Indian tribes, and universities. Collaborative endeavors are encouraged through the formation of research partnerships with qualified independent investigators.

The CCRLC offers assistance to researchers through its administrative facilities, research permitting, and research library.
