Opportunity Summary:
The JFSP 2013 Conference Support Announcement (1 Task Statement) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity issued by the Bureau of Land Management on behalf of the Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP), a partnership of six federal wildland management and research agencies. The program focuses on practical, science-based solutions to issues tied to wildland fuels, fire behavior and effects, and the management and recovery of fire-impacted ecosystems. Through this particular announcement, JFSP is seeking to provide targeted support for conferences or similar events that help share research findings, improve coordination between scientists and land managers, and strengthen the flow of fire and fuels knowledge into on-the-ground decision-making.
Funding is offered through cooperative agreements, meaning recipients should expect an active partnership component rather than a hands-off grant. The funding activity is categorized under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and the opportunity is listed under CFDA 15.232, Wildland Fire Research and Studies Program. JFSP anticipated making about five awards, with an estimated total program funding level of $50,000. Individual awards could be as high as $10,000, with no stated minimum award amount (award floor of $0), indicating flexibility in the size of supported requests depending on the proposal and available funds. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to provide non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning applications were open broadly to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may have appeared in the full announcement text. The opportunity was posted and created on September 27, 2012, with an original and final application deadline of November 16, 2012. The announcement was later archived on December 16, 2012, which signals it is no longer open but remains available as a historical record of the solicitation and its terms.
For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the point of contact listed was Becky Jenison, Administrative Analyst, reachable by phone at 208-387-5958 or by email at bjenison.
