12-1-01 Remeasurement of Prior Studies - Effects of Prescribed Fire on Vegetation, Fuels, and Soil	More Information	Actions
The Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP) is seeking proposals to remeasure existing field studies that evaluate the use of prescribed fire to achieve desired vegetation conditions. Studies that evaluate the long-term effects of prescribed fire on vegetation, fuel, or soil are eligible for funding consideration.	View FON View requirements	Closed on Nov 18, 2011

12-1-02 Non-Forest and Understory Fuels Growth, Response and Succession	More Information	Actions
Shrubs, grasses and forbs are poorly represented as understory components in forested stands in FVS, and non-forested communities are currently not modeled in FVS. JFSP is interested in supporting research to improve representation of understory components in forested stands in FVS; to develop growth, response and succession models for non-forested stands for use in FVS; and to provide information to support FVS Fire and Fuels Extension (FFE) which links FVS with models of fire behavior, fire effects, and fuel loading.

12-1-03 Fuel Treatment Effectiveness	More Information	Actions
The Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP) is soliciting proposals that evaluate the effectiveness of fuels treatments and have a high likelihood of producing information useful to managers.	View FON View requirements	Closed on Nov 18, 2011

12-1-04 Cultural Resources and Fire	More Information	Actions
The Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP) invites proposals that support improved management of cultural resources and fire.	View FON View requirements	Closed on Nov 18, 2011

12-1-05 Verification of Fire Weather Forecasts	More Information	Actions
JFSP is interested in proposals that assess the degree of improvement provided by spot and incident fire weather forecasts as compared to NDFD forecasts, and provide a methodology to verify fire weather forecasts nationally.	View FON View requirements	Closed on Nov 18, 2011

12-1-06 Compatibility of Fuels and Fire Management with Conservation of Threatened and Endangered Fish and Wildlife Species	More Information	Actions
The Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP) is soliciting proposals that investigate the compatibility of fire and fuels management activities with habitat and population restoration of wide-ranging federally listed or candidate threatened and endangered (T&E) fish and wildlife species.

12-1-07 Assessment of Fire Emissions Inventory Tools	More Information	Actions
The Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP) invites proposals to critically assess satellite and ground based tools currently used to develop emissions inventories of all wildland fires, and, secondarily, for agricultural burning.	View FON View requirements	Closed on Nov 18, 2011

12-1-08 Assessment of Prescribed Fire Contributions to PM2.5 and PM10 Standards	More Information	Actions
The Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP) invites proposals to determine the impact of prescribed fires on the attainment and maintenance of 24-hour and annual National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for particulates (PM2.5 and PM10).	View FON View requirements	Closed on Nov 18, 2011

12-2-01 New Science Initiative  Fire Social Sciences	More Information	Actions
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 activities examining coupled human and natural systems. 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	View FON View requirements	Closed on Nov 18, 2011

12-3-01 Graduate Research Innovation (GRIN) Award	More Information	Actions
In partnership with the Association for Fire Ecology, the Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP) invites current MS and PhD graduate students in the fields of wildland fire and related human dimensions and ecological sciences to apply for a Graduate Research Innovation (GRIN) award. Proposals must be directly related to the mission and goals of JFSP to be considered. Applicants are encouraged to search the JFSP website (www.firescience.gov) to learn more about the scope of JFSP activities. Proposals must directly address one of the following topics: " Climate change and fire (e.g., fire behavior, fire effects, fire regime) " Fuel management effectiveness and effects (e.g., treatment longevity, T&E or invasive species, carbon balance, pile burning, mastication treatments, WUI issues) " Smoke or emissions assessments " Social issues and fire (e.g., community preparation, transfer and use of science, public perceptions) Proposals on other topics will not be reviewed.

12-4-01 Dataset Archival	More Information	Actions
The Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP) invites proposals for new or supplemental funds to document and submit datasets created from completed or ongoing JFSP funded projects to an actively managed data repository. The purpose of this activity is to make high quality datasets available to the research community for future research.	View FON View requirements	Closed on Nov 18, 2011

12-5-01 Conference Support	More Information	Actions
The Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP) invites proposals for co-sponsorship of regional, national, or international conferences. Proposals must identify how the planned conference will support the JFSP mission. Proposals are limited to $10,000 for regional conferences, and $15,000 for national or international conferences. Conferences must be scheduled within two years of the RFA closing date.	View FON View requirements	Closed on Nov 18, 2011
