Opportunity Summary:
The Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP) FY 16 Pre-Funding Notice of Potential Topics (Funding Opportunity Number L16AS00000) was a discretionary, research-focused announcement published by the Bureau of Land Management to signal what subject areas the program was considering for future funding in fiscal year 2016. Rather than being a call for proposals, this notice functioned as an advance heads-up to the wildland fire research community about possible priority topics, allowing researchers, practitioners, universities, nonprofits, private entities, tribes, and other interested parties to begin thinking about partnerships, scoping ideas, and aligning upcoming research concepts with JFSP interests. Because it was only a pre-notice, it did not provide funding, did not plan to make awards under this posting, and did not require an application package or proposal submission.
From an administrative standpoint, the notice was categorized as a discretionary opportunity using a cooperative agreement as the intended funding instrument. Cooperative agreements are commonly used when the funding agency anticipates having substantial involvement in the project if a later competition results in awards, which can matter for applied science programs like JFSP that often emphasize management relevance, coordination with land management agencies, and delivery of usable products. The activity category was listed under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and it was associated with CFDA 15.232, Wildland Fire Research and Studies Program. No cost sharing or matching was required under this listing, though that point is largely informational here since the posting itself was not an active solicitation.
The timeline reinforces that this was informational rather than competitive. The notice was posted and created on July 27, 2015, and it carried a closing date of September 11, 2015, with an archive date of October 11, 2015. Those dates are best understood as the window during which the pre-notice was publicly available as a current opportunity on the portal, not as a period for submitting applications. Consistent with that, the expected number of awards was listed as zero, and the estimated total funding, award ceiling, and award floor were all listed as zero, reflecting that no funding decisions or award amounts were attached to this pre-notice. Eligibility was shown as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any clarifications that might have appeared in the full text, which is typical for a broad research program intending to reach a wide set of potential applicants in advance of a formal funding opportunity.
In practical terms, the main value of this announcement was to point interested organizations to the additional information link labeled "FY 16 JFSP Potential Topics," where the program would outline the kinds of research questions or themes it was considering for a future solicitation. Pre-notices like this are often used to improve the quality and relevance of eventual submissions by giving the community time to coordinate with end users, develop interdisciplinary teams, identify data sources or study sites, and ensure proposed work can produce actionable outputs. Anyone who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically was directed to contact the Joint Fire Science Program via the provided email address, indicating that JFSP was the primary point of contact for questions about the notice and the potential topics it referenced.
