About this opportunity
The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management is seeking applicants for the Regional Fire Science Exchange (One Task Statement) cooperative agreement. This opportunity aims to fund projects that advance the understanding of wildland fire management, with a focus on areas like fire behavior, fuels management, emissions, fire effects, and human dimensions. Eligible applicants include a wide range of entities such as universities, non-profits, tribes, and local governments. Proposals will be evaluated based on their alignment with the program's core focus areas and their potential to provide scientific information to support land management agencies. The deadline for submitting proposals is September 19, 2024 by 5:00 PM MT.
Recent Joint Fire Science Program awards have ranged from $25,000 to over $600,000, with typical project periods between 1-3 years. While the specific award amounts for this opportunity are not stated, it is likely that funding will be provided through cooperative agreements to support research, science delivery, and regional fire science exchange activities. The place of performance is not explicitly defined, but projects may focus on specific geographic regions like the Southwest, Great Plains, or Pacific Northwest.
