JFSP Primary Announcement 8 Task Statements | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The JFSP Primary Announcement 8 Task Statements (Funding Opportunity Number: FA RFA012 0001) is a discretionary federal research funding opportunity administered by the Bureau of Land Management under the Joint Fire Science Program. Its purpose is to fund scientific studies that directly address practical problems faced by land and fire managers dealing with wildland fuels, wildfire, and ecosystems affected by fire. In plain terms, this program is aimed at generating usable science that improves how agencies and partners plan for, respond to, and recover from wildfire, including decisions around fuel treatments, fire behavior, ecological effects, and post-fire management.

This opportunity falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category and is listed under CFDA 15.232 (Wildland Fire Research and Studies Program). The funding instrument type is identified as "Other," which typically signals a research-focused award structure that may not fit neatly into standard grant categories, but is still intended to support research and associated deliverables. The announcement anticipated making about 20 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $6,000,000. The notice lists both an award ceiling and award floor as $0, which usually indicates that specific per-award limits were not stated in the summary record and that applicants needed to refer to the full announcement and task statements for budget expectations, constraints, or recommended ranges.

Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open to any type of applicant organization, assuming there were no additional limitations specified in the full announcement text under the eligibility section. In practice for a program like JFSP, this often includes universities, nonprofit organizations, private firms, tribal entities, state and local governments, and federal partners when permitted by the program rules. The opportunity explicitly states that there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to provide non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility or competitiveness, unless the full solicitation stated otherwise for particular tasks.

The timeline for this announcement is clear and fixed: it was posted on September 26, 2011, and the application deadline (original and current closing date) was November 18, 2011. The archive date was December 18, 2011, indicating the opportunity is historical and no longer open, but the details remain useful for understanding JFSP priorities and how similar JFSP announcements are structured. For applicants at the time, the full announcement and supporting materials were available through Grants.gov, referenced in the Additional Information link field.

For assistance, the announcement provided direct contacts at BLM connected to JFSP administration. Programmatic questions were directed to John Cissel, Program Manager, at (208) 387-5349 and jcissel@blm.gov. Administrative or application-process questions were directed to Becky Jenison, Administrative Analyst, at (208) 387-5958 and bjenison@blm.gov. These contacts were also presented as the fallback option if an applicant had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically.

Overall, this opportunity represents a fairly substantial, research-driven funding round intended to produce actionable fire science for the wildland fire community, with a national scope, broad eligibility, and no matching requirement, and with funding distributed across multiple awards rather than a small number of large projects.
