Opportunity Information: Apply for L20AS00103
The BLM National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP) Primary Announcement is a discretionary federal funding opportunity run by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), focused on applied science and research and development that improves how the United States manages wildland fuels, wildfires, and fire-affected ecosystems. The Joint Fire Science Program itself is an interagency partnership designed to tackle practical, on-the-ground fire and fuels management problems where land managers need better evidence, tools, and decision support. It is not a single-agency effort; it is intentionally built to serve multiple federal land and fire management missions by funding research that can be used across jurisdictions and landscapes.
JFSP is supported by seven core federal partners with shared wildland fire responsibilities. Those partners include the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service (USDA FS) and, within the Department of the Interior (DOI), the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and U.S. Geological Survey, with additional representation through the DOI Office of Wildland Fire. Program funding is provided jointly by DOI and the Forest Service, reflecting the program's goal of producing science products and knowledge that are broadly useful to federal fire and fuels programs rather than tailored to only one bureau. Applicants are pointed to the program website, www.firescience.gov, for added background on priorities, prior projects, and program context.
This opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number L20AS00103 and is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, which typically signals more substantial federal involvement during the project period than a standard grant (for example, coordination with agency scientists or managers, collaboration on deliverables, or involvement in project oversight and application of results). The funding activity category is listed as Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and the associated CFDA number is 15.232, indicating it sits within a federal assistance portfolio connected to DOI wildland fire science and related program objectives.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning applicants of any entity type can apply (such as universities, non-profits, for-profits, state or local governments, Tribal entities, or other organizations), subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may appear in the full notice. The announcement title notes "Two Task Statements," which generally means the solicitation is organized around two distinct scopes of work or research needs; applicants typically choose to respond to one or propose work that aligns clearly with the requirements of a specific task statement, as defined in the full posting.
The solicitation was created on July 15, 2020, with an original closing date of September 30, 2020. The stated award ceiling is $500,000, and the program expected to make about 10 awards. Taken together, those figures suggest a competitive research program intended to fund a set of mid-sized projects rather than one large effort, with the expectation that funded work will generate actionable findings, methods, tools, or syntheses that can be used by wildland fire and fuels managers dealing with real operational constraints and ecological tradeoffs in fire-prone landscapes.Apply for L20AS00103
