Joint Fire Science Program FY2027 Notice of Funding Opportunity
The Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP) has released its FY2027 Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to support research and science delivery projects addressing emerging and long-term challenges in wildland fire management. Funding opportunities are available for projects focused on improving understanding of changing wildfire regimes, wildfire impacts, and the application of science to support fire management decisions.
Primary Research: Supports research examining the drivers and consequences of changing wildfire patterns, as well as smoke impacts from prescribed fire and wildfire.
Fire Leaders and Managers, Emerging Scientists (FLAMES) Award: This new opportunity supports current master’s and doctoral students at U.S. colleges and universities conducting research related to wildland fire or associated physical, biological, and social sciences. The program aims to strengthen connections between scientific research and fire management operations through experiential learning opportunities and exposure to real-world fire management practices.
Funding Opportunity: JFSP FY2027 Notice of Funding Opportunity
Deadline: September 17, 2026
Additional information, including eligibility requirements, proposal instructions, and application materials, is available through the Joint Fire Science Program website.
