Opportunity Summary:

The Joint Fire Science Program Graduate Research Innovation (GRIN) Award is a discretionary research funding opportunity administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) under the Wildland Fire Research and Studies Program (CFDA 15.232). Its main purpose is to support scientific studies that help solve real-world problems tied to managing wildland fuels, understanding and managing wildfire, and improving outcomes for ecosystems affected by fire. In practical terms, the program is aimed at producing research that can inform land and fire managers dealing with questions like fuel treatment effectiveness, fire behavior and risk, post-fire recovery, and the broader ecological effects of fire and fire management actions.

This opportunity uses a funding instrument listed as "Other" and falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category, which signals that it is designed for research-oriented projects rather than standard service delivery or construction. The total estimated funding available for this announcement is $75,000, with an expected three awards. Individual awards can be as high as $25,000, and there is no stated minimum award amount (award floor is $0). Cost sharing or matching is not required, which generally makes it easier for applicants who may not have access to additional funds or institutional cost-share commitments.

Eligibility is described as "unrestricted," meaning it is broadly open to any type of entity, subject to any additional clarifications that would have been included in the full announcement text. Based on the title, the GRIN Award is intended to support graduate-level research innovation, so applicants would typically align their proposed work with graduate research objectives and demonstrate how their study advances understanding or management of wildland fire and fuels. Even with broad eligibility, competitive proposals would usually be expected to clearly connect the science to management needs and to explain how the research results could be applied by practitioners working in fire and fuels programs.

Key dates for the opportunity show it was posted on September 23, 2010, with an application closing date of November 19, 2010, and an archive date of December 19, 2010. This means the specific announcement is historical and no longer open, but it still provides a useful snapshot of the program structure, funding scale, and focus areas for that cycle. For technical help accessing the full announcement at the time, the listed contact was John Cissel, Program Manager, reachable by phone at (208) 387-5349, with an email address referenced but not provided in the source excerpt.
