About this award
The Center For Alternative Building Studies (CABS) received a $605,985 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service under the Wood Utilization Assistance program (CFDA 10.674), awarded on September 9, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2028. The grant funds personnel and contractual costs to test, refine, and commercialize a wood-concrete block product designed to expand markets for low-value wood resources. This initiative directly supports increased active forest management and reduced wildfire risk by creating viable commercial applications for underutilized timber materials.
The Wood Utilization Assistance program prioritizes projects that strengthen domestic wood products markets while advancing sustainable forest management and hazardous fuel reduction objectives. CABS's work aligns with the program's focus on technological innovation and market development, addressing the challenge of expanding economically viable outlets for forest materials that would otherwise remain unutilized or contribute to wildfire fuel loads.
Description
This project will pay for personnel and contractual costs to test, refine and commercialize the wood-concrete block product.
