Joint Fire Science Program Provides scientific information and support for wildland fuel and fire management programs.

The Fire Research and Management Exchange System (FRAMES) FRAMES provides a method of exchanging information and transferring technology among wildland fire researchers, managers, and other stakeholders in an online environment. The FRAMES portal, supported by USGS, provides essential searchable information, a platform for data sharing and storage, development of new tools, and support to federal wildland fire management agencies in the United States throughout the various stages of wildland fire, including planning, operation, and post-fire monitoring.

Southern Fire Exchange The Southern Fire Exchange (SFE) is a regional program for fire science delivery in the Southeast, funded by the Joint Fire Science Program. The SFE Resource Center consolidates southern fire information and provides new ways for the fire community to interact and learn from one another.

Wildfire Research and Applications The Wildfire Research and Applications Partnership (WRAP) project was funded in 2003 under the NASA Office of Earth Science (OES) Cooperative Agreement Notice (CAN) . The objectives of the project are to foster collaborative partnerships between NASA and the US Forest Service to facilitate and demonstrate evolved and evolving technologies for increasing the information content and timeliness of earth resource data collected for wildfires. this initiative is the first major effort at formalizing and focusing wildfire science and applications between the agencies. The outcomes of this collaborative effort are creation of improved tools for Wildfire Decision Support Systems within the US Forest Service and the other fire mitigation and management agencies. It provides several of their reports and conference paper on the website.

The Northwest and Alaska Fire Research Clearinghouse (FIRE House) The web-based project provide information about fire science and technology relevant to Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Alaska. Their goal is to provide “one-stop shopping” for resource managers, decision makers, scientists, students, and communities who want access to the results of efforts to understand and manage fire and fuels on public lands in these regions.
