The U.S. Wildland Fire Service Joint Fire Science Program is soliciting proposals in two topic areas: (1) drivers of changing wildfire regimes and consequences for wildfire risk factors and (2) smoke impacts from prescribed fire and wildfire.
1. Drivers of changing wildfire regimes and consequences for wildfire risk factors
The objective of this task statement is to increase understanding of the drivers and consequences of changing wildfire regimes to inform future management and monitoring plans that accelerate adaptation to these altered regimes that reduce wildland fire risk factors.
JFSP is asking potential investigators to address the following research needs in this task statement. Potential investigators must address all three research needs to be considered responsive to the task statement.
· Research that leads to improved models, datasets, or other tools to more accurately forecast future fire regimes and consequences for ecosystems and valued resources (e.g., communities, infrastructure, municipal watersheds).
· In collaboration with fire and land managers, use of improved models, datasets, or other tools to explore scenarios of future fire regimes and consequences for ecosystems and valued resources, identify potential tipping points, and feedback mechanisms for accelerated change.
· In collaboration with fire and land managers, devise potential monitoring protocols to detect potential tipping points or other indicators of change.
2. Smoke impacts from prescribed fire and wildfire
The objectives of this task statement are 1) to better understand the impacts of prescribed fire and wildfire on smoke emissions - to inform appropriate timing, frequency, and extent of prescribed fire programs that maximize ecological benefits while minimizing air quality impacts on communities, and 2) to inform a standardized methodology for tracking prescribed fire emissions.
To contribute to understanding of smoke impacts from prescribed fire and wildfire, JFSP is asking potential investigators to address the following research needs. Proposals must address all three research needs to be responsive to the task statement.
· Empirical, observational, and/or simulation studies that document the spatial and temporal scales at which prescribed fire programs influence one or more characteristics of subsequent wildfire regime (e.g., patterns of frequency, extent, intensity, or severity) and how relationships between prescribed fire and wildfire regimes differ by various factors (e.g., region, fuel type, disturbance history, interactions with mechanical treatments).
· Studies that evaluate and/or validate methodologies for tracking and/or predicting emissions from prescribed fire.
· Studies that extend the findings on relationships between prescribed fire and wildfire regimes (from research need 1) and evaluation of methods (from research need 2) to implications for air quality and related public health and/or the effectiveness of mitigation strategies on acute health impacts related to air quality.

A trauma system is, “…an organized, inclusive approach to facilitating and coordinating a multidisciplinary system response to severely injured patients.”[14] Coordination across prehospital entities (e.g., EMS) and hospitals signal an effective trauma system, where patients can get the right level of care they need. Access to trauma care in the United States is inconsistent. For example, 1 in 3 Americans live in a region with incomplete trauma care,[15] and 30 million Americans live over 60 minutes from a trauma care center.[16]
The Trauma Care Readiness and Coordination Program supports ASPR’s goal of strengthening state and local preparedness by funding and supporting efforts to improve coordination across EMS, pre-hospital providers, and hospitals.[17] Through this program, ASPR will help recipients test scalable models that improve trauma system readiness and patient access to the right level of care, ultimately improving health outcomes and saving lives.

Through this round of Elevate Youth California (EYC) funding, the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) is making approximately $44 million available to community-based, Tribal, and county behavioral health organizations throughout California to expand youth and young adult substance use prevention through policy, systems, and environmental change.
EYC is a statewide program that addresses substance use disorders (SUDs) by investing in leadership development and civic engagement for youth of color and 2S/LGBTQIA+ youth ages 12 to 26 living in communities disproportionately impacted by the war on drugs. This statewide program provides funding and technical assistance for organizations proposing to implement programs that empower youth to be community leaders and create positive policy and systems change. EYC funded partners will be responsible for implementing comprehensive strategies that reduce risk factors (e.g., trauma, disconnection from school/community) and enhance protective factors (e.g., cultural identity, adult/peer mentorship, community and civic engagement) associated with youth substance use prevention. Projects are recommended to utilize evidence-based, promising, and/or community-driven practices in their prevention approach and incorporate social justice youth development in all programming. Funded partners will conduct annual listening sessions to gather feedback from youth and young adults on the impact of prevention efforts and to identify opportunities for project improvement. Additionally, funded partners are expected to actively participate in technical assistance opportunities hosted by The Center, engage in an external evaluation to assess the effectiveness of EYC, and attend one-day regional convenings, at least two over the award period. EYC funded partners will be required to submit biannual progress and financial reports. Success will be measured by progress towards programmatic and policy, systems, and environmental change goals and objectives contained in an approved work plan, which must include processes for monitoring and evaluation of youth engagement, prevention activities, policy, systems, and environmental change, and participant outcomes through quantitative and qualitative methods. Additional indicators of success include participants' increased knowledge of SUD and its prevention, reduced stigma around substance use services, and evidence of community-level policy, systems, and environmental changes related to substance use issues or their root causes. Since the program’s launch, DHCS has awarded $370 million through 517 grant awards. For information about EYC, visit www.elevateyouthca.org.
