The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is soliciting cooperative agreement proposals to lead and execute regional fire science exchanges across nine specified U.S. regions with a September 17, 2026, 5:00 p.m. MT application deadline. Each proposal must address a single region (Alaska, Appalachians, Great Basin, North Atlantic, Northern Rockies, Northwest, Oak Woodlands, Pacific Islands, or Southwest) and cover a two-year period of performance.

Eligible applicants include tribal governments (federally recognized and non-federally recognized), state and county governments, city and township governments, independent school districts, public and private higher education institutions, 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) nonprofits, and public or Indian housing authorities. No cost share or matching requirement is stated.

Award size and number of awards are not specified in the source material. All proposals must be submitted electronically through the JFSP website (https://www.firescience.gov) by the stated deadline; submission through Grants.gov is not permitted.

The program prioritizes science delivery and application plans that demonstrate both passive and active technology transfer methods. Review criteria include relevancy to the posted task statement, scientific methods and study design, science deliverables, collaboration and leverage, and administrative adequacy. A twelve-person Joint Fire Science Program Governing Board will make all funding decisions following peer review; decisions are not subject to appeal.

The Joint Fire Science Program (CFDA 15.232) operates under a mandate to provide credible, tailored wildland fire science research supporting federal land management agencies and other stakeholders. Regional fire science exchanges facilitate knowledge transfer between researchers and fire management practitioners. Applicants should consult the JFSP database at https://www.firescience.gov for specific task statements and regional requirements.
