Opportunity Summary:

The JFSP Primary Announcement (1 Task Statement), Funding Opportunity Number FA FON0014 0005, is a federal research funding opportunity administered by the Bureau of Land Management through the Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP). The program focuses on supporting scientific studies that directly address practical, on-the-ground problems tied to wildland fire management. In particular, the opportunity is aimed at research that improves understanding and decision-making around wildland fuels, fire behavior and effects, and the condition and recovery of fire-impacted ecosystems and landscapes. The overall purpose is to generate usable science that can inform agencies and partners responsible for managing fire-prone environments, reducing hazardous fuels, and responding to fire-related impacts.

This opportunity is offered as a discretionary award using a Cooperative Agreement, which generally signals that the funding agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project period compared with a standard grant. The activity category is listed as Science and Technology and other Research and Development, aligning it squarely with applied and/or operationally relevant research rather than general program support or service delivery. The associated CFDA number is 15.232, Wildland Fire Research and Studies Program, which is the federal assistance listing commonly used for JFSP-related research funding.

The announcement anticipated making approximately four awards with an estimated total funding amount of $1,000,000 across all awards. The published award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which typically means the specific funding range per award was not stated in the summary record and applicants would need to refer to the full announcement for details on expected project sizes, budgets, and allowable costs. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.

Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity is broadly open to applicants of any entity type, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full announcement text. This kind of unrestricted eligibility often allows participation from universities, non-profits, private entities, state and local governments, tribal governments, and other organizations, assuming they meet standard federal assistance requirements and any specific conditions laid out by the program.

Key dates indicate the opportunity was posted and created on May 9, 2014, with an original and current closing date of June 13, 2014, and an archive date of July 13, 2014. Those dates show that the application window was roughly five weeks and that the listing is now archived, which matters for anyone looking to apply since it indicates this specific solicitation period has closed. For applicants or researchers who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Becky Jenison, Administrative Analyst with the Joint Fire Science Program, reachable by phone at (208) 387 5958 or by email at bjenison@blm.gov.
