Abstract
In the Federal Fiscal Year (FY) 1998, appropriation for Interior and related agencies, U.S. Congress established funding and direction to initiate the Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP). Federal wildland fire management agencies developed the Joint Fire Science Plan to provide program direction. Under the guidance of an interagency governing board, the program matured into a full-featured science program utilizing a multi-faceted process to determine research priorities; efficient and open proposal solicitation, review, and funding procedures; and effective, collaborative science delivery and exchange mechanisms.
