Description
The
Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP) is a partnership of six federal wildland fire
management and research agencies that have a shared need to address problems
associated with managing wildland fuels, fires, and fire-impacted
ecosystems. For
further background on the JFSP, those considering submitting proposals are
encouraged to visit its website at www.firescience.gov.
The
JFSP prioritizes and provides sound scientific studies to support the land
management agencies and other stakeholders in addressing issues associated with
wildland fire. Current research objectives for this Funding Opportunity
Announcement (FOA) are to: (1) identify or develop metrics (standards) to
assess fuel break and fuel break system performance in terms of controlling
wildfire behavior, aiding in wildfire suppression operations, and minimizing
wildfire risk and impacts to valued resources (2) evaluate fuel breaks and fuel
break systems using these metrics, and (3) identify necessary improvements in
the implementation of operational fire behavior models and their data input
requirements relative to assessing fuel break and fuel break system
performance. Proposers
must address both research needs 1 and 2 below to be considered responsive.
Research need 3 is optional.
