Within the FRAMES regions, wildland fire content is aggregated at a geographic level relevant to wildland fire management. The FRAMES regions correspond to the boundaries of the eleven Geographic Area Coordinating Centers (GACC) designated by the National Interagency Coordination Center (NICC).
Each FRAMES geographic fire portal provides an opportunity for collaboration between researchers and managers located within that particular region. FRAMES is working with regional researchers and managers, including some of the JFSP-funded Regional Consortia, to provide access to geographically-based and nationally relevant data, documents, and tools.

The Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP) has developed a network of regional consortia to accelerate the awareness, understanding, and adoption of wildland
fire science information within ecologically similar regions. FRAMES is providing web support for the Alaska Fire Science Consortium and the Southern Rockies Fire Science Network. FRAMES is also providing the Southwest Fire Science Consortium with customized access to the FRAMES Resource Cataloging System for its Top Ten Fire Management Searches, and may develop customized access for additional consortia. FRAMES is also archiving some of the webinars hosted by the consortia.
