JFSP Wildland Fire Safety Summit and Human Dimensions Conference | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The JFSP Wildland Fire Safety Summit and Human Dimensions Conference grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L15AS00008) was a small, targeted discretionary grant offered by the Bureau of Land Management under the Wildland Fire Research and Studies Program (CFDA 15.232). The purpose of the award was to support the presentation and dissemination of new, peer-reviewed scientific results at an internationally recognized conference focused specifically on firefighter safety and community fire safety. In practical terms, the opportunity was geared toward getting credible, research-based findings in front of the practitioners, leaders, and stakeholders who make decisions in wildland fire operations and community risk reduction, with an emphasis on translating science into safer outcomes on the ground.

This opportunity used a grant as the funding instrument and fell under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category. The program anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $10,000. The award ceiling was also $10,000, and the award floor was listed as $0, indicating the agency reserved flexibility in the final amount depending on the proposed activities and budget. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds to receive the award.

Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations holding 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. That narrow eligibility suggests the funding was intended for a specific kind of organizing or coordinating entity, such as a nonprofit partner involved in conference delivery, outreach, or science communication, rather than universities or academic departments. Because the description centers on presenting new peer-reviewed results at a recognized conference, the work supported by the grant likely included conference-related costs tied to scientific programming and dissemination, such as speaker participation, session organization, proceedings or publication-related support, or other direct expenses necessary to communicate vetted research to an applied audience concerned with wildland fire safety.

Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on December 22, 2014, with an original and current closing date of January 9, 2015, and an archive date of February 9, 2015. That short application window indicates it was time-sensitive, likely aligned with a planned conference schedule or an imminent need to secure support for specific conference components.

For applicants needing the full announcement and application instructions, the notice directed users to retrieve materials via the application tab associated with the posting. The listed point of contact for access issues was Christine Shaver, Grants Management Officer at BLM, reachable at (208) 373-3817 or cshaver@blm.gov.
