Announcements
The Joint Fire Science Program has announced their FY 2025 funding opportunities for Primary, Graduate Research Innovation, and Regional Exchanges, which are due by September 19, 2024.
Primary research is solicited for several focus areas:
- Accelerating science to action in fire-prone ecosystems: Spurring innovation in adaptation through knowledge exchange and place-based partnerships
- Cultural burning: bridging conventional science gaps with Indigenous Knowledge and relationship between cultural burning and wildfire resilience/risk
- Interactions between invasive plants and fire regimes and incorporation of invasives into wildland fire fuel models, risk assessments, and other decision support tools
- Social equity and wildland fire impacts, mitigation, response, and recovery
If you are proposing research in or including the Northern Rockies region, please reach out early to us via this form to discuss how we can help with science delivery and potentially provide your proposal with a letter of support!
Read the June 2024 Newsletter for a recap of the JFSP FSEN All-Exchange Meeting & Field Trip, details on the updated Wildfire Risk to Communities website, study results and video from Monica Turner's study in the Greater Yellowstone area, and much more.
The August 2023 Traditional Knowledge and Fire Newsletter is full of research, webinars, podcasts, news, and more resources from Indigenous scholars, managers, and allies.
