Description

The 2010 JFSP Request for Applications is now open. The announcement will close on November 20 at 5 PM Mountain time.

There are 3 distinct task statements.

The primary solicitation seeks research proposals for the following 10
topics:

1. Mastication of fuel treatments effectiveness and effects 2. Conifer canopy fuels estimation 3. Public perceptions of smoke management 4. Improved fuels mapping in non-forested ecosystems 5. Organizational learning prescribed fire escapes 6. Compatibility of fuel treatments and fire management with conservation of threatened and endangered wildlife species 7. Fire weather forecast accuracy 8. Fuel moisture influences on combustion 9. Ethno-ecological fire traditions understanding and demonstration 10. Re-measurement opportunities carbon budgets and insect outbreaks

The second solicitation seeks synthesis proposals for two topics.

1. Eastern oak restoration
2. Guides to fuel treatment practices

The third solicitation seeks new science proposals related to social science topics.

The Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP) is interested in sponsoring projects that stimulate and support activities that lead to or advance innovative ideas in fire social sciences. JFSP is particularly interested in collaborative projects with international partners, partnerships with scientists and institutions in closely allied fields that have not been heavily involved in fire research (e.g., natural hazards and disaster research), and innovative cross-disciplinary activities to enhance understanding of fire and fuel management policy options.
The goal is to push the frontiers of knowledge and understanding and to generate new ideas and concepts. The types of activities appropriate to this task statement are broad, and could include:
Articulation of new concepts or frameworks
A synthesis of information to generate new hypotheses
Field activities involving diverse scientists, policy-makers,
managers, and citizens
Development of an experimental design to test an innovative
hypothesis

Please read each solicitation carefully.
Your proposal will be submitted electronically to the JFSP Click here for full instructions
Do not submit proposals to Grants.Gov.

Each announcement provides contact email and phone numbers if you have questions or need guidance.
