USDA/USDOI Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP)
The USDA/USDOI Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP) funds research and projects aimed at improving the understanding and management of wildland fire.
About this program
The Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP) is a collaborative effort between the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the U.S. Department of the Interior (USDOI) that focuses on enhancing the scientific understanding of wildland fire and its effects on ecosystems. This program supports research that addresses the challenges of managing wildland fire, including fire behavior, fire effects, and the socio-economic impacts of fire management. It aims to provide land managers with the tools and knowledge necessary to make informed decisions regarding fire management practices. JFSP is designed for researchers, land management agencies, and organizations involved in fire management. The program encourages innovative research proposals that can lead to practical applications in fire management and policy. By funding projects that bridge the gap between science and management, JFSP seeks to improve the effectiveness of fire management strategies and enhance the resilience of ecosystems affected by fire.
Eligibility
Eligible applicants include researchers, land management agencies, and organizations involved in fire management.
