The University of New Mexico will receive $153,059 from the United States Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) federal grant program to conduct research on the effects of recurrent wildfire on tree growth during drought in southwestern U.S. forests. The doctoral research project will measure tree basal growth over multiple drought years in forests with and without recurrent wildfire to determine how...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $270,278 to the University of Rhode Island will support research to better understand the long-term relationship between climate and fire activity in the eastern United States. The project aims to analyze sediment records spanning the Holocene (last ~12,000 years) to compare historical fire and climate patterns prior to significant human impacts. This empirical data will be used to quantify...
This Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program will fund research to develop a system for documenting fire behavior in cultivated croplands. The goal is to identify crops that could be intentionally planted around homes and communities as both food sources and firebreaks, providing a new solution for mitigating wildfire losses in rural agricultural...
This $649,597 project grant from the US Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program will support research and partnership development efforts by the University of California, Merced. The goal is to enable the renewal of Indigenous fire stewardship practices and increase the safe, strategic use of cultural burning and prescribed fires to reduce wildfire risk. Specifically, the University will work with the...
The US Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) awarded $649,833 under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) competitive grants program (CFDA #10.310) to the US Forest Service for a project grant concluding March 31, 2027. The funding will support research measuring the sensitivity and recovery of dominant plant species and communities in Northern grasslands from drought occurring at different points in the growing season and under varying...
The University of Idaho will receive $792,650 under a three-year Project Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) through the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) competitive grants program (CFDA No. 10.310). The grant funds research to address key knowledge gaps regarding the impacts of wildfire on the mortality and post-fire growth of several important timber pine species. The university will assess the mechanistic...
This Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) CFDA program will provide $330,899.69 to the University of Idaho to investigate how soil properties and resilience change based on soil heating and burn severity from wildfires. The research aims to improve understanding of the relationships between soil burn severity, soil heating, and soil health, which is critical for managing this non-renewable...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will establish a framework to link wildfire behavior at global and local scales. The $999,457 award to Vanderbilt University aims to improve models of fire risk in fire-prone communities by considering houses as drivers of fire, rather than just recipients. The project will develop a new community wildfire propagation model, AGNI-NAR, to capture fire interaction between vegetation and structures....
Colorado State University will provide $642,820 in research services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants program (AFRI, CFDA #10.310). Through this four-year project grant awarded on July 1, 2023, the university will focus on understanding and quantifying the social and ecological limitations to adapting post-wildfire reforestation efforts to climate change. Specifically, CSU will...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $556,655 Project Grant under its Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to Auburn University for the research project "Collaborative Research: Resolving Past Fire-Climate Relationships to Understand Future Fire Potential in the Eastern United States." The project aims to better understand the long-term fire-climate relationships in the Eastern United States through the analysis of paleofire records spanning the Holocene period (last ~12,000...
