Joint Fire Science Program New Science Announcement | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP) New Science Announcement is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of the Interior focused on supporting scientific research that helps solve practical, on-the-ground problems tied to wildland fire management. The program is aimed at generating new studies and findings that improve how agencies and partners understand, manage, and respond to wildland fuels, active fires, and ecosystems affected by fire. In other words, it is research-driven funding meant to produce usable science for decision-makers working in wildfire and post-fire environments, with an emphasis on real management challenges rather than purely theoretical work.

This opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number FA RFA10 0003 and falls within the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category. The assistance listing is tied to CFDA 15.232, Wildland Fire Research and Studies Program, which signals that proposals should be clearly grounded in wildfire-related research objectives and outcomes. The funding instrument type is labeled as "Other," which typically indicates the award mechanism may not fit neatly into standard categories like a traditional grant or cooperative agreement, but it is still a federal financial assistance opportunity intended to fund research work consistent with the program mission.

The program anticipated making about 7 awards under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,000,000. The published award ceiling is also $1,000,000, and the award floor is listed as $0, which generally indicates there is not a formally stated minimum award size. Cost sharing or matching is not required, meaning applicants are not obligated to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award. This can make participation more feasible for a wide range of applicants, including those who may not have access to matching funds.

Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning the competition is open to any type of entity, as long as it meets any additional conditions described in the full announcement text (referenced as the "Additional Information on Eligibility" section). In practice, opportunities framed this way often attract proposals from universities, non-profits, private research organizations, state and local governments, tribal entities, and potentially federal partners where allowable, all centered on producing science that supports wildland fire and fuels management.

Key dates for this opportunity show it was posted and created on September 25, 2009, with an original and current closing date of November 20, 2009. The archive date is December 20, 2009, which is when the listing was scheduled to be formally archived. Applicants at the time would have needed to submit complete proposal materials by the November 20 deadline to be considered.

For access issues or help obtaining the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact is Becky Jenison, Administrative Analyst, reachable by phone at 208 387 5958. The notice also references an email address for contact, though the email itself is not included in the provided source text.
