Federal Grant Award Summary Washington State University (WSU) received a $506,080 Formula Grant from the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the McIntire-Stennis Cooperative Forestry Research program (CFDA 10.202), effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027. This award supports comprehensive wildfire management research across the Pacific Northwest, with primary focus on quantifying wildfire impacts on forest ecosystems, wildlife populations, and natural resource recovery. WSU researchers employ advanced multiscale remote sensing technology, aerial LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), space-borne sensors, and field data collection to assess fuel load dynamics, forest resilience, and the role of fire refugia in ecosystem recovery. The research team collaborates with federal and state agencies to develop decision support tools and geospatial data layers that enhance natural resource management effectiveness. The research deliverables encompass investigations into wildfire effects on animal populations and biogeochemical cycling, as well as fuel reduction treatment strategies to improve forage resources for native wild ungulates. WSU has developed specialized decision support tools, including a stocking rate tool for rangeland management that simultaneously addresses wildfire fuel control and optimizes forage availability for cattle. Additionally, researchers are advancing innovations for utilizing forest thinning and harvest residuals. These products and services directly address critical fire management challenges, including wildland-urban interface risk assessments and post-fire forest recovery across the inland Western United States.
