The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded the University of California, San Diego $229,825 on September 1, 2026, to host a workshop convening leaders and personnel from the Fire Science Innovations Through Research and Education (FIRE) program portfolio to develop shared infrastructure, coordinate research activities, and identify collaboration opportunities across wildfire science projects. The workshop operates in three stages: a virtual preparation phase, an in-person convening, and targeted follow-up activities. Five research tracks reflect priorities emerging from awarded FIRE projects and emphasize hands-on collaboration structured around concrete action plans. Deliverables include reports on research priorities, collaboration opportunities, and infrastructure needs. The funding supports advancing wildfire prediction, community resilience, and related outcomes across the FIRE portfolio by applying a convergence research framework to identify shared agendas and create innovation pathways for more effective cross-project collaboration. Performance occurs in La Jolla, California through August 31, 2027. The award is classified as a Project Grant under the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050).
