Opportunity Summary:
The Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP) Primary Announcement (7 Task Statements) is a discretionary federal research funding opportunity administered by the Bureau of Land Management under CFDA 15.232 (Wildland Fire Research and Studies Program). It was posted on September 12, 2014, with proposals due November 21, 2014, and an estimated total program funding amount of $6,000,000. The program anticipated making about 25 awards, and it did not require cost sharing or matching funds. The funding instrument is listed as "Other," and the activity category is Science and Technology and other Research and Development. Award floor and ceiling were shown as $0, which typically means applicants needed to rely on the full announcement for any practical guidance on budget sizing and award limits rather than assuming no limits existed.
The core purpose of the announcement is to solicit research proposals aligned with seven targeted JFSP task statements focused on improving wildland fire science and its application to management, public safety, and decision-making. The seven topics are: (1) Fuels Mapping for Emissions Inventories, aimed at improving the ability to characterize fuels in ways that support more accurate estimation of smoke and other emissions from wildland fire; (2) Smoke Hazard Warning Signs, which focuses on research that can support better warnings and messaging about smoke-related hazards, likely including visibility and health or transportation safety considerations; (3) Implications of Changing Fuels and Fire Regimes, centered on understanding how shifts in fuels and fire patterns affect fire behavior, risk, and management strategies; (4) Fire Ember Production, dealing with how embers are generated and transported and how that contributes to spotting and structure ignition risk; (5) Fire Effects on Soil Heating, focused on the impacts of fire on soil temperature profiles and related consequences for soils and ecosystems; (6) Fire Weather and Decision Making, aimed at connecting weather and fire-weather information to real operational decisions, potentially including forecasting, risk assessment, and incident management; and (7) Re-measurement Long Term Effects on Vegetation/Fuels, which emphasizes returning to existing study sites or datasets to quantify longer-term post-fire or post-treatment changes in vegetation and fuels over time.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open to any applicant type (for example, universities, nonprofits, private organizations, state and local governments, tribes, and potentially individuals), subject to any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full announcement. The notice specifically points applicants to Section IV of the announcement for proposal submission requirements, indicating that critical details such as formatting, required narrative sections, evaluation criteria, submission method, and any constraints on project duration or budgets were defined in the full text rather than in the brief synopsis.
For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Becky Jenison, Administrative Analyst, reachable by phone at 208-387-5958 or by email at bjenison@blm.gov. The announcement was later archived on December 21, 2014, reflecting that it is a past opportunity rather than an active competition.
