Opportunity Summary:
The Joint Fire Science Program Proposals opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00083) is a discretionary federal grant competition administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It supports science and technology research focused on wildland fire, specifically scientific studies on fuels and fire that can help land and fire managers make better decisions in ecosystems affected by fire. The central aim is practical, management-relevant research that improves understanding of fire behavior, fuel conditions, and related ecological impacts so that agencies and practitioners can plan and respond more effectively.
This opportunity falls under the Funding Activity Category of Science and Technology and other Research and Development and is associated with CFDA 15.232, Wildland Fire Research and Studies Program. The funding instrument is a grant, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The program anticipated making about 16 awards under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $2,650,247. The listed award ceiling is also $2,650,247, and the award floor is $0, which typically indicates that award sizes may vary and that the agency did not set a minimum award amount in the public listing.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, so the competition is designed for colleges and universities that are publicly governed. This generally means proposals would be expected to come from academic research teams with the capacity to carry out applied fire and fuels research, potentially in collaboration with land management agencies, though the eligibility statement itself specifically points to public higher education institutions as the applicants of record.
Key dates in the posting indicate the opportunity was originally posted on May 3, 2011, with an original closing date of May 20, 2011, later extended to a current closing date of June 24, 2011. The archive date is August 3, 2011, suggesting the solicitation is no longer active and is retained for record purposes. The full announcement, including detailed instructions and the application package, was provided through the application materials referenced in the listing (via the "APPLICATION" tab in the original platform).
For administrative or access issues related to obtaining the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact is Christine K. Shaver, Grants Management Officer, reachable at 208-373-3817 or by email at cshaver@blm.gov.
