What does the Joint Fire Science Program offer online? The Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP) website (https://www.firescience.gov) provides a free-access wildland fire science information resource providing research summaries and project findings. The primary goal of the website is to accelerate the dissemination and use of new wildland fire science research and information by both governmental and private partners. The JFSP website provides three main types of publications: Fire Science Digests, Fire Science Briefs, and Syntheses. Fire Science Digests are summaries of information on a current issue within the fire science community, largely drawn from JFSP research. Fire Science Briefs are summaries of specific completed research projects funded by the JFSP. Syntheses provide a comprehensive review of current knowledge on a specific topic. The JFSP website is also the primary gateway for principal investigators to interact with JFSP on funded research projects; this role of the website will not be described in this factsheet.
