National Cohesive Wildland Fire Management Strategy:
Restore and maintain resilient landscapes
Create fire-adapted communities
Safe and effective wildfire response
7 Primary Research Topics:
- Fuels mapping for emissions inventories
- Implications of changing fuels and fire regimes - selected regions
- Smoke Hazard Warning System
- Implications of changing fuels and fire regimes – selected regions
- Fire ember production
- Fire effects on soil heating
- Fire weather and decision making: a social and modeling analysis
- Re-measurement - long term fire effects on vegetation and fuels
Graduate Research Innovation Awards (GRIN)
In partnership with the Association for Fire Ecology, we invite current MS and PhD graduate students enrolled in US colleges or universities in the fields of wildland fire, related human dimensions and ecological sciences to apply for a GRIN award.
Proposals must be directly related to the mission and goals of JFSP to be considered. Applicants are encouraged to search our website 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)
- Post-fire recovery (e.g., effects of burn severity, treatment effectiveness)
- Smoke or emissions assessments
- Fire weather
- Social issues and fire (e.g., community preparation, transfer and use of science, public perceptions, fire-adapted communities)
