Opportunity Summary:
The Joint Fire Science grant opportunity titled "Evaluate Regional Consortia" (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00231) is a discretionary federal funding announcement issued by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) under the Wildland Fire Research and Studies Program (CFDA 15.232). Its core purpose is to support work that develops and evaluates regional consortia focused on wildland fire science delivery, meaning organized regional partnerships designed to move fire-related research findings into the hands of practitioners, decision-makers, and other end users who can apply that science in planning and operations.
Funding is provided through a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The opportunity is categorized under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, reflecting that the work is intended to be research-oriented and evaluation-driven, with a practical emphasis on improving how fire science is communicated, coordinated, and used across regions.
The announcement anticipated a total of one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $200,000. Individual awards were capped at an award ceiling of $100,000, suggesting either staged funding, multiple budget periods, or complementary funding structures, but the listing itself indicates only a single expected award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, indicating the agency’s intent to route this effort through universities or similar public academic institutions that can bring evaluation expertise, research capacity, and regional convening power. The posting date and creation date were July 29, 2010, and the application deadline (original and current) was August 12, 2010, with the opportunity later archived on September 30, 2010.
For additional details, the announcement directed applicants to Grants.gov (the listing included an additional information link to http://www.grants.gov). The point of contact provided was Christine K. Shaver, Lead Grants Management Officer at BLM, reachable at 208-373-3817 and christineshaver@blm.gov, with a note encouraging contact if there were problems accessing the full announcement electronically.
