Opportunity Summary:
The JFSP 2013 Project Awards (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00088) was a discretionary federal grant competition administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), under the Wildland Fire Research and Studies Program (CFDA 15.232). The opportunity focused on supporting scientific studies that address fuels and fire related research, meaning projects aimed at improving understanding of wildland fire behavior, fuels management, and related issues that affect wildfire risk, response, and outcomes. The funding activity category was listed as Science and Technology and other Research and Development, which signals that proposals were expected to be research-driven and oriented toward producing knowledge, methods, or tools that can inform real-world fire and fuels decisions.
Awards were to be made using a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates a more collaborative relationship than a standard grant, often involving substantial involvement by the federal agency during the project period (for example, coordination on study design, data sharing, or alignment with management needs). The announcement anticipated up to 23 awards. The estimated total funding available was $3,894,818, and the listed award ceiling matched that total amount, while the award floor was $0, indicating the agency did not guarantee a minimum award size and that award amounts could vary widely depending on project scope and selections. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to provide non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, meaning state universities, public colleges, and similar publicly controlled academic institutions were the intended applicants. The opportunity was posted on May 13, 2013, and the application window closed on May 31, 2013. The record shows an archive date of July 31, 2013, reflecting that the opportunity is no longer active and was retained for reference after the closing period.
Applicants were directed to obtain the full announcement and application package through the application materials referenced in the listing (noted as an additional information link instructing users to download the full announcement and package). For help accessing the announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Christine Shaver, Grants Management Officer, reachable at 208-373-3817 or by email at cshaver@blm.gov.
