Opportunity Summary:
The Joint Fire Science Regional Consortium grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00025) was a discretionary, research-focused funding announcement administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) under the Wildland Fire Research and Studies Program (CFDA 15.232). It was specifically aimed at supporting the Pacific Northwest Fire Science Exchange Consortium, part of the broader Joint Fire Science Program effort to improve how wildfire and fuels management science is developed, shared, and used. In practical terms, the opportunity centered on building or strengthening a regional "fire science exchange" capacity in the Pacific Northwest so that land managers, practitioners, and decision-makers could more easily access current research, interpret it, and apply it to on-the-ground fire and vegetation management.
Funding was offered through a Cooperative Agreement, which typically signals a relationship where the federal agency expects to be more actively involved than with a standard grant. The total estimated funding available was $97,355, with an award ceiling of $97,355 and no stated award floor. The announcement anticipated making one award, meaning the program intended to fund a single recipient organization to carry out the consortium or exchange-related work for the region during the project period defined in the full announcement. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of eligibility.
Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. That restriction suggests the program was looking for a university-based host or lead institution capable of coordinating research translation, stakeholder engagement, and communication across agencies, tribes, practitioners, and researchers in the Pacific Northwest fire community. While the short description provided does not list specific tasks, regional fire science exchanges generally involve activities like synthesizing and communicating scientific findings, organizing workshops or webinars, creating decision-support materials, maintaining online repositories or newsletters, and convening networks that connect scientists with land and fire managers.
The opportunity was posted on February 15, 2011, with an original and current closing date of March 1, 2011, indicating a short application window. The archive date was April 15, 2011. Additional details were available through Grants.gov at the time of posting. For applicants or interested parties who could not access the full announcement electronically, the listed contact was Christine K. Shaver, Lead Grants Management Officer at BLM, reachable at 208-373-3817 and christineshaver@blm.gov.
