Opportunity Summary:

The Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP) Primary Announcement is a discretionary research funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of the Interior focused on science and technology studies that help solve real-world problems in wildland fire management. The program is designed to support scientific research that improves how agencies and partners understand, plan for, and respond to wildland fuels, active fires, and the ecological and management challenges that follow fire. In practical terms, the opportunity centers on generating actionable science that can inform decisions about fuel treatments, fire behavior and effects, risk reduction, and the recovery and stewardship of fire-impacted ecosystems.

This opportunity was posted on September 25, 2009, with an application closing date of November 20, 2009 (the original and current closing dates are the same). The opportunity was scheduled to be archived on December 20, 2009. The funding opportunity number is FA RFA010 0001, and it falls under CFDA 15.232, Wildland Fire Research and Studies Program. The funding instrument type is listed as "Other," and the activity category is "Science and Technology and other Research and Development," signaling that the program is intended to support research-oriented projects rather than, for example, routine operations or standard service delivery.

The program anticipated making about 30 awards, supported by an estimated total funding amount of $10,000,000. The stated award ceiling is also $10,000,000, with an award floor of $0, which generally indicates there is not a specified minimum award size and that budgets may vary depending on the scope, competitiveness, and relevance of proposed work. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.

Eligibility is described as unrestricted, which means the competition is broadly open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may appear in the full announcement text under "Additional Information on Eligibility." In many federal research solicitations, this kind of unrestricted language can include universities, nonprofit organizations, for-profit entities, state and local governments, tribal governments, and federal agencies or laboratories where permitted, but applicants would still need to confirm any specific restrictions or conditions contained in the full solicitation.

For applicants who cannot access the announcement electronically, the listed point of contact is Becky Jenison, Administrative Analyst, reachable by phone at 208-387-5958. The announcement also notes an email contact, though the email address is not provided in the source information you shared.
