What this is
The Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP) is a collaborative federal initiative between USDA and DOI that funds research aimed at improving understanding and management of wildfire. This program supports projects ranging from basic fire ecology to applied technology development for fire detection, prediction, and suppression. It typically funds university researchers, research institutions, and government agencies working on fire-related challenges in forests and rangelands.
Who can apply
Eligibility details are unspecified in the source material. Historically, JFSP funds university researchers, government agencies, non-profit research institutions, and some private research organizations working on fire science. Solo founders and early-stage startups are unlikely to be primary targets without institutional partnership or non-profit status.
