About this opportunity
The Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP) is a partnership of seven federal agencies seeking proposals for research and science delivery projects related to wildland fire management. The program aims to provide scientific information to support land management agencies and stakeholders in addressing wildland fire issues, with a focus on topics like fire behavior, fuels management, emissions and air quality, fire effects and post-fire recovery, and human dimensions of wildland fire. All proposals must be submitted by September 29, 2024 using the electronic submission process provided on the JFSP website, and must meet all program requirements to be considered for funding.
Recent JFSP awards have ranged from $25,000 to over $600,000 in total funding, with performance periods generally between 1-3 years. The program is open to a wide range of applicant types including universities, non-profits, tribes, and local governments, and is primarily funded by the Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service. Projects can focus on specific geographic regions and often involve field studies, simulation modeling, social surveys, and tool development.
