NAU students and staff participate in a variety of NPS programs, including research projects, interpretive program development, staff training, and consultation in specific subject matter. NPS staff in turn participate in NAU classes, projects, and field trips.

Museum of Northern Arizona MNA sponsored much of the early archeological research conducted in northern Arizona and promoted establishment of the Flagstaff Area National Monuments.

Most recently, MNA provided design and fabrication services for new exhibits in the Sunset Crater Volcano and Wupatki National Monument Visitor Centers.
