- Federal Grant Award Summary The University of Colorado received a $2.50M Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Office of Integrative Activities under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2030. The FIRE-NET initiative develops a comprehensive framework for assessing fast fire risk across the western United States by synthesizing expertise from natural sciences, social sciences, data science, computer science, hazards analysis, and...
The University of Arizona, through an award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology (CFDA 47.074 Biological Sciences), is conducting a $198,987 planning project titled "PLANNING: FIRE-PLAN: WILDFIRE-RESILIENT ECOSYSTEMS AND COMMUNITIES IN THE SOUTHWEST UNITED STATES: AN EARLY WARNING SYSTEM." The project aims to (1) identify areas of highest vulnerability to rapid ecological change due to climate change and wildfires, and (2) engage with diverse communities affected by these rapid changes. Key activities include data synthesis, spatial analysis, and collaborative workshops to develop community management protocols. The overarching goal is to contribute to the sustainability of both ecosystems and human communities in the Southwest U.S. during this period of rapid environmental change. This planning award runs from Oct 1, 2023 to Sep 30, 2025.
