invites current master and doctoral students enrolled in US colleges or
universities in the fields of wildland fire and related human dimensions,
ecological, and atmospheric sciences to apply for a Graduate Research

student exposure to the management and policy relevance of their research to
achieve beneficial outcomes of funded work. Specific objectives related to
management are to enhance student exposure to and interaction with fire and fuels
managers, develop appreciation and understanding of fire and fuels managers information and research needs, and augment already
planned and funded master or doctoral research to develop information and/or
products useful to managers. The JFSP also is interested in understanding the
science needs of decision-makers, which provides an opportunity for students to
enhance their understanding of how science can be used to inform fire-related
policy. All proposals must be submitted by 5:00 p.m. MST November 17, 2016,
