About this award

Written by GovTribe AI ·

Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) was awarded a $1.8 million cost-no-fee definitive contract (SERDP RC20-1362) by the Humphreys Engineer Center Support Activity on December 15, 2020, with an ultimate completion date of June 16, 2026. This award originated from a Department of Defense Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) pre-solicitation opportunity posted in October 2018 seeking environmental research and development projects. The contract carries no set-aside designation and represents WPI's research effort focused on understanding vegetation-fire interactions and plume dynamics across multiple experimental scales. The work is performed at WPI's facility in Worcester, Massachusetts.

WPI has engaged five major subcontractors to support this research initiative: the University of Edinburgh (awarded March 2024), San Jose State University Research Foundation (awarded October 2023), University of Georgia Research Foundation (awarded October 2023), New Mexico Consortium (awarded August 2023), and Tall Timbers Research, Inc. (awarded March 2023). These collaborators provide complementary expertise spanning laboratory-scale vegetation burning experiments, micrometeorological and turbulence measurements, field site identification and management, plume and LiDAR data collection, and fire ecology research. The project combines experimental work at multiple scales—from small laboratory apparatus modifications through large field-scale fire experiments—with computational fluid dynamics modeling to advance understanding of how vegetation variability influences fire behavior, ember production, and plume development, thereby addressing critical fire dynamics research gaps relevant to wildland fire management and prediction.
