Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP) | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP) conference proposal opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00037) was a discretionary funding announcement issued by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in the science and technology/research and development category. The purpose of this specific posting was to support conference-related proposals under the broader JFSP mission area, which focuses on wildland fire research and studies. In practical terms, the funding was aimed at helping eligible organizations plan, host, or otherwise carry out a conference that aligns with JFSP priorities, such as sharing research findings, strengthening collaboration across agencies and institutions, and improving the transfer of wildland fire science into management and policy.

The funding instrument for this opportunity was a cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project compared to a standard grant. While the exact nature of that involvement would be spelled out in the full announcement, cooperative agreements commonly include ongoing coordination with program staff, potential participation in planning or deliverables, and closer monitoring of progress to ensure the event meets program goals. The total amount available for this announcement was modest: the estimated total funding was $5,000, with an award ceiling of $5,000 and an award floor of $0. Only one award was expected, suggesting that BLM planned to fund a single conference proposal under this particular posting. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to provide non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility, although an applicant could still choose to leverage other resources if that strengthened the proposal.

Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. This restriction indicates the program was specifically looking to fund universities or similar public higher education entities to organize and deliver a conference connected to wildland fire science. The opportunity was associated with CFDA number 15.232, Wildland Fire Research and Studies Program, which is the federal assistance listing that ties the funding to its broader program authority and purpose.

Key dates show that the announcement was posted and created on February 15, 2013, with an original and current closing date of March 1, 2013. The archive date was April 15, 2013, meaning it was no longer active after that period. Applicants were directed to download the full announcement and application package using the application link referenced in the posting. For access issues or administrative questions, the contact listed was Christine K. Shaver, Grants Management Officer, reachable by phone at 208-373-3817 or by email at cshaver@blm.gov.
