Opportunity Summary:
The Joint Fire Science Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FA RFA 09 0001) is a discretionary research funding announcement administered by the Bureau of Land Management. Its core purpose is to support scientific studies that help land and fire managers better understand and solve practical problems tied to wildland fuels, wildfire behavior, and ecosystems affected by fire. In plain terms, the program is aimed at generating usable research that improves decisions about how fuels are managed, how fires are planned for or responded to, and how landscapes recover after fire.
This opportunity falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category, and the funding instrument type is listed as "Other," which signals it is not strictly limited to a single standard mechanism like a typical grant or cooperative agreement in the summary fields. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number associated with the program is 15.232, titled the Wildland Fire Research and Studies Program, indicating the federal program area and reporting category that the awards align with.
For this cycle, the program anticipated making about 20 awards, with an estimated total funding level of $8,000,000. The listing does not specify an award ceiling or floor (both are shown as 0), which usually means the announcement itself should be consulted for details on typical award sizes, project durations, and any limits that might be described in the full solicitation text rather than in the summary metadata.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is broadly open to applicants of any entity type, with the caveat that final eligibility details are governed by the full announcement language. The notice specifically directs applicants to consult Section III (Eligibility Information) of the announcement for any clarifications, conditions, or exceptions, which is where items like allowable applicant types, partnering rules, or other requirements are commonly spelled out.
Key dates for the opportunity show it was posted on September 24, 2008, with a closing date of November 21, 2008 (both the original and current closing date are the same).
