Description

Since 1998, the Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP) has provided funding and science delivery for scientific studies associated with managing wildland fire, fuels, and fire-impacted ecosystems to respond to emerging needs of managers, practitioners, and policymakers from local to national levels. Over the past 23 years, the program has funded high-priority science needs to assist decision makers in the field through annual funding opportunity announcements. The JFSP continues to deliver science of high value through projects carried out by researchers and graduate students and delivered to those in the field through a well-coordinated exchange network (Fire Science Exchange Network). This report summarizes fiscal year (FY) 2020 and FY 2021 program accomplishments related to funded research, science delivery, exchange highlights, and more.
