Announcements for Proposals - Joint Fire Science Program
The Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP) is an interagency research partnership focused on wildland fire and fuels management issues. Each year at this time we post Announcements for Proposals on our website: http://jfsp.nifc.gov
Proposal opportunities are open from October 13 to December 13, 2006 and include the following:
Rapid Response
• future fires (wildfires and wildland fire use fires)
• past (2006) fires (wildfires and wildland fire use fires)
Managers Request
• Reestablishment of native vegetation after fires on arid lands
• Fire and deep organic soils
Fire in the Wildland Urban Interface
• Wildland urban interface fire behavior models
• Social, cultural, economic, and aesthetic issues and tradeoffs
Pre-proposal opportunities are open from October 13 to November 20 and include the following:
• Build on or extend results of completed JFSP research
• Re-measurement of past JFSP-funded study sites or experimental plots
• Evaluation and testing of models or modeling systems that were created or modified with JFSP funding.
Please read the AFP’s carefully; we made significant changes in proposal requirements. For example, we strengthened the role of the federal cooperator, who is now the principal point of contact and is responsible for orchestrating all aspects of the proposal process. Also, all federal government agencies may now compete for JFSP funding.
We ask that you distribute these opportunities to others in your organization that may have an interest in submitting a proposal. The proposal and pre-proposal packets can be found at the website and contain all of the required forms and background information for submission.
We look forward to your ideas and wish everyone good luck.
