Opportunity Summary:
The 2012 Joint Fire Science Program Proposals opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00106) was a discretionary federal funding announcement administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to support research and development work related to wildland fire. It falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.232, the Wildland Fire Research and Studies Program. Funding was to be provided through a cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project period (for example, participation in project coordination, technical direction, or collaboration on deliverables), rather than operating as a hands-off grant.
This specific posting functioned as an administrative follow-on for proposals that had already been submitted and selected under earlier Grants.gov announcements identified as FA RFA012 0001, FA RFA012 0002, and FA RFA012 0003. In other words, it was not a broad, open-ended solicitation for entirely new concepts so much as a mechanism to process and award projects that were already in the pipeline from the initial Joint Fire Science Program requests for applications.
The opportunity anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $297,630. The award ceiling was also $297,630, indicating the maximum expected federal share for the award, while the award floor was listed as $0 (a standard listing that does not necessarily imply zero-dollar awards, but rather that no minimum amount was specified in the summary fields). No cost sharing or matching funds were required, so applicants were not obligated to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofits holding 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. That means qualifying nonprofit organizations could apply, but universities and colleges (even though they may be nonprofit in many cases) were not eligible under the eligibility category stated in the posting.
Key dates show that the opportunity was posted and created on May 19, 2012, with an application closing date of June 11, 2012. The archive date was July 31, 2012, reflecting that the listing was later closed out and moved into an archived status on Grants.gov after the competition window ended.
For applicants needing the complete instructions and application package, the announcement directed users to the Grants.gov application tab to download the full materials. The listed point of contact for access issues was Christine K. Shaver, Grants Management Officer at BLM, reachable at 208-373-3817 or by email at christineshaver@blm.gov.
