Opportunity Summary:
The "JFSP Primary Announcement (7 Task Statements)" is a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), on behalf of the Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP). The program is aimed at supporting scientific research that helps land managers and decision-makers tackle real-world challenges related to wildland fuels, wildfire behavior, fire operations, and the recovery and management of ecosystems affected by fire. In practical terms, the emphasis is on studies that produce usable findings for managing fuels, reducing risk, improving effectiveness and safety, and understanding ecological outcomes in fire-prone landscapes.
Funding is offered through cooperative agreements, which typically means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The activity category is listed under science and technology and other research and development, reflecting that the awards are meant to support research projects rather than routine services or infrastructure. The notice anticipates making about 25 awards, with an estimated total funding pool of about $6,000,000. The opportunity does not list a formal award ceiling or floor in the summary data, which often indicates that award sizes may vary by task statement, project scope, or program priorities described in the full announcement.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity is generally open to a wide range of applicant types, as long as they meet any conditions or clarifications contained in the full solicitation. The assistance listing is tied to CFDA 15.232, Wildland Fire Research and Studies Program, which is the federal catalog program associated with this kind of fire science research funding. No cost sharing or matching is required, so applicants are not obligated to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award, though voluntary leverage or partnerships may still strengthen a proposal depending on the program guidance.
The announcement was initially posted on September 26, 2013, with a creation date of October 18, 2013. The original application deadline was November 22, 2013, and it was later extended to a current closing date of December 11, 2013. The archive date is December 22, 2013, indicating when the opportunity would be formally closed and archived in the posting system. Because this announcement references "7 Task Statements," the solicitation likely laid out multiple targeted research topics or priority areas, each with its own scope or expectations; applicants would typically select one of the task statements and tailor their research plan, deliverables, and timeline to that specific need.
For applicants needing the full and official requirements, the notice directs users to download complete announcement instructions from the application materials associated with the posting.
