JFSP New Science Announcement 1 Task Statement | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The JFSP New Science Announcement 1 Task Statement (Funding Opportunity Number FA RFA012 0002) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity administered by the Bureau of Land Management under the Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP). The program is focused on supporting science and technology research that can directly help land and fire managers deal with real-world challenges tied to wildland fuels, wildfire behavior, and ecosystems affected by fire. In practical terms, the opportunity is meant to fund scientific studies that generate usable knowledge for planning, conducting, and evaluating fuels treatments, wildfire response strategies, and post-fire management, with an emphasis on improving decision-making in fire-prone landscapes.

The opportunity falls under the Wildland Fire Research and Studies Program (CFDA 15.232) and is categorized as "Science and Technology and other Research and Development." The listed funding instrument type is "Other," which signals that awards may not be limited to a single conventional grant format and may use program-specific agreement structures depending on project needs and agency requirements. The total estimated funding available through this announcement is $3,000,000, with an expectation of making about 7 awards. The announcement lists both the award ceiling and award floor as $0, which typically means the agency did not publish fixed minimum or maximum award sizes in the summary data and that project budgets are likely evaluated based on scope, justification, and available program funds rather than a strict published cap.

Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity is broadly open to any type of applicant, as long as the applicant meets any additional eligibility clarifications that may be included in the full text of the announcement (referenced on grants.gov). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants generally are not required to provide non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award, which can make the program more accessible to a wider range of universities, nonprofits, agencies, tribes, and private or other research entities.

Key dates indicate the opportunity was posted on September 26, 2011, with the original and current closing date both set for November 18, 2011, and an archive date of December 18, 2011. This timeline reflects a defined application window typical of competitive research solicitations, with proposals expected to be submitted by the closing date for consideration. Applicants were directed to grants.gov for the full announcement and application materials, including the detailed task statement, submission instructions, evaluation criteria, and any program priorities or required proposal components.

For support, the notice provides two agency contacts. Programmatic questions or issues accessing the full announcement could be directed to John Cissel, Program Manager, at 208-387-5349 or jcissel@blm.gov. Administrative questions could be directed to Becky Jenison, Administrative Analyst, at 208-387-5958 or bjenison@blm.gov.
