Joint Fire Science Program Primary Announcement | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Joint Fire Science Program Primary Announcement (Funding Opportunity Number: FA RFA011 0001) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to support scientific research focused on wildland fire. The core purpose is to fund studies that directly address practical problems faced by land and fire managers when dealing with wildland fuels, active fires, and ecosystems affected by fire. In plain terms, the program is looking for research that improves real-world decision-making around fuels treatment, fire behavior and effects, and post-fire ecosystem response and management.

This opportunity falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.232 (Wildland Fire Research and Studies Program). The funding instrument type is listed as "Other," which typically signals a research-focused agreement mechanism rather than a simple formula grant, with the expectation that awarded projects produce usable findings, data, or tools relevant to wildland fire science and management.

Financially, the announcement indicates an estimated total funding amount of $8,000,000, with an award ceiling also shown as $8,000,000 and an award floor of $0. The ceiling figure is presented at the opportunity level, meaning it may represent the maximum possible amount available under the announcement rather than a typical per-project cap; the program also anticipates making about 25 awards. No cost sharing or matching is required, which can make participation easier for universities, nonprofits, tribes, private entities, and other organizations that may not have a budget to meet match requirements.

Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning the competition is open to any type of applicant, subject to any additional eligibility details that may have been included in the full text of the announcement. This generally suggests that a wide range of organizations could apply, including academic institutions, governmental entities, nonprofits, and potentially private-sector research organizations, as long as they can carry out the proposed scientific work and meet standard federal grant administration requirements.

Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on September 23, 2010, with an original and current closing date of November 19, 2010. The archive date is December 19, 2010, indicating the solicitation is no longer active and is kept for record purposes. While the specific research priorities and proposal requirements would normally be spelled out in the full announcement, the central theme is clear: generate rigorous, management-relevant science that helps agencies and partners plan for, respond to, and recover from wildland fire and its impacts on landscapes.

For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact is John Cissel, Program Manager, reachable by phone at 208-387-5349. The announcement also references an email address, though it is not fully provided in the excerpted information.
