Science and data are then used by land managers, practitioners, and policymakers at local, regional, and national levels. This work informs wildland fire policy and practical solutions leading to fire adapted communities and more fire-resilient landscapes. The program was established by Congress in 1998 and is jointly funded by the Department of the Interior and the U.S. Forest Service.
The Joint Fire Science Program plays a central role in delivering practical, science-based solutions and knowledge exchange by funding and managing the Fire Science Exchange Network . Fifteen regional fire science exchanges provide the most relevant, current wildland fire science information to Federal, Tribal, State, local, and private stakeholders within ecologically similar regions.
In fiscal year 2024, JFSP focused research dollars on key scientific and emerging needs, including prescribed fire effects on water quality and quantity, managing carbon emissions, and characterizing wildfire risk in the wildland-urban interface.
FY2024 highlights include: Strengthening partnerships among scientists, practitioners, managers, and other interested parties to accelerate the identification and adoption of science-based management strategies that facilitate adaptation to changing fire regimes. Evaluating the effects of prescribed fire on water quality and quantity.
Studying carbon emissions in ecosystems with deep organic soils to inform effective strategies for managing carbon stores in deep organic soils that are increasingly impacted by wildfire. Studying wildfire risk in wildland-urban interface and urban settings to evaluate and improve existing methods to characterize wildfire risk.

A new Interior Department policy routes every grant and cooperative agreement of $50,000 or more through two political appointees for manual review. The result is a backlog of roughly 1,400 grants and $362 million in delayed funding — up from fewer than 10 two years ago. Here is how the bottleneck works, why it matters even for recipients who already have an award letter, and what nonprofits, universities, states, and tribes should do to protect projects that depend on Interior dollars.

Its siblings are larger and richer, and every one of them explicitly bars Public Lands Corps work. That exclusion, not the dollar figure, is the strategy.
