The Joint Fire Science Program funding opportunities for fiscal year 2023 are now open. The primary funding opportunity is seeking new research proposals. This year, the focus is divided between four research areas (task statements):
- Longevity of fuel treatment effectiveness under climate change
- Effectiveness of fuel treatments across landscapes
- Pre-fire management actions for reducing post-fire hazards
- Social and political factors that influence fire suppression and rehabilitation costs
For 2023, the Joint Fire Science Program has continued to support the Graduate Research Innovation (GRIN) award program. Current masters and doctoral students enrolled at colleges or universities within the U.S. and studying the field of wildland fire or related sciences are encouraged to apply for a Graduate Research Innovation (GRIN) award funding. The awards are intended to enhance student exposure to natural resource management and policy through the expansion of student-led research.
Finally, the Joint Fire Science Program is seeking applications to continue the regional fire science exchange programs in: Alaska, Great Basin, Northern Rockies, Oak Woodlands, Northwest, and Pacific Islands.
Proposals are due by December 20, 2022, through https://www.firescience.gov/. For questions about these funding opportunities, contact Ed Brunson, Joint Fire Science Program manager, at [email protected] or (208) 387-5975.
