Opportunity Information: Apply for L16AS00094
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announced a discretionary research and development funding opportunity under the Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP) titled "BLM-Idaho, Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP)" (Funding Opportunity Number L16AS00094). The opportunity is focused on supporting work connected to the Fire Science Exchange Network, specifically tied to a "Science Exchange National Evaluation Project" and activities in three regions: the Great Plains, Alaska, and the Southern Rockies. In practical terms, the emphasis is on science and technology efforts that evaluate and improve how wildland fire science is shared, applied, and used by practitioners and decision-makers through the regional fire science exchanges.
Funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The activity category is listed as "Science and Technology and other Research and Development," reflecting that the work is intended to generate, evaluate, synthesize, or apply knowledge rather than deliver routine services. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.232, which corresponds to Joint Fire Science Program funding.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, so any applicant type may apply as long as they can meet federal requirements and the specific expectations of the solicitation. The original closing date for applications was May 21, 2016, and the opportunity was created on April 21, 2016. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) was $650,000, and the agency anticipated making about four awards. Overall, the announcement signals a moderate-sized, competitive research and evaluation effort aimed at strengthening the effectiveness and reach of the Fire Science Exchange Network across the specified regions, with BLM serving as the issuing agency.Apply for L16AS00094
