Opportunity Summary:
The Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP) Graduate Research Innovation (GRIN) Award opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: FA FON0015 0002) is a discretionary, research-focused grant competition administered by the Bureau of Land Management under CFDA 15.232, Wildland Fire Research and Studies Program. It is designed to support science and technology or other research and development efforts that advance wildland fire knowledge and application, specifically through a GRIN award mechanism aimed at encouraging innovative graduate-level research connected to wildland fire science and management needs.
Funding under this announcement is relatively small and targeted, with an estimated total program funding amount of $150,000 and an anticipated 6 awards. Individual awards have a ceiling of $25,000, and the listed award floor is $0, indicating proposals could be funded at varying levels up to the cap depending on scope and available funds. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds to be eligible or competitive under the basic financial rules described in the listing.
Eligibility is described as "unrestricted" (open to any type of entity), with the important caveat that applicants must still follow any eligibility clarifications contained in the full announcement text, particularly any details provided in the section titled "Additional Information on Eligibility." In practice, GRIN awards typically focus on graduate research, so applicants would need to confirm in the full announcement how eligibility is defined (for example, whether the applicant must be an enrolled graduate student, whether a university must serve as the submitting organization, whether a principal investigator or faculty sponsor is required, and how the project must be structured). The announcement explicitly points applicants to Section IV for proposal submission requirements, signaling that formatting, required forms, attachments, and submission procedures are spelled out there and should be followed closely.
The opportunity was posted on September 12, 2014, with the application deadline set for November 21, 2014 (both the original and current closing date are the same), and it was scheduled to be archived on December 21, 2014. The funding instrument type is listed as "Other," which can matter for administrative details (for example, the precise agreement type, reporting expectations, and how funds are administered), so applicants would need to review the full announcement to understand the award structure, deliverables, reporting schedule, and any limitations on allowable costs.
For those needing help accessing the full announcement electronically, the agency provided a specific point of contact: Becky Jenison, Administrative Analyst, reachable by phone at 208-387-5958 or by email at bjenison@blm.gov. The announcement also directs interested parties to use the "full announcement" tab to download the complete solicitation text, which is essential because the short synopsis does not include the task statement details, evaluation criteria, required application components, or submission method.
