Graduate Research Innovation (GRIN) Award (One task statement) | FA NOFO0026 001

Opportunity Information: Apply for FA NOFO0026 001

The Graduate Research Innovation (GRIN) Award, offered by the Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP), supports U.S.-based master’s and doctoral students conducting research related to wildland fire science. It aims to help students enhance the management and policy relevance of their thesis or dissertation by funding additional, related research that responds to real-world information needs of fire and fuels managers.

To be eligible, students must remain enrolled in their degree programs during the research period, and their advisor must certify eligibility. Proposals must directly relate to JFSP's mission and address specific fire-related topics such as fuels management, changing fire environments, air quality, fire effects, prescribed vs. wildfires, or social dimensions of fire science.

Projects should involve meaningful communication with fire managers and result in actionable products or tools. GRIN funds can be used for student stipends, research costs, and travel—but not tuition or faculty salaries. Each award is capped at $25,000, including indirect costs, and only one proposal per student is accepted. Past recipients are not eligible to apply again.

Proposals must primarily be written by the student and submitted by their advisor, who acts as Principal Investigator. A letter of support from the advisor is mandatory, and manager support letters are encouraged when relevant.

Recipients must produce a policy-relevant summary or tool, present their research at a professional conference, and submit a final report. The application deadline is September 18, 2025, by 5:00 p.m. MT via the JFSP website only.
