A corresponding set of disciplinary groups has had the responsibility for developing the core variables and associated measurement protocols, including coordinating across groups to ensure consistency, compatibility, and non-duplication of data collection efforts. Spatial referencing of all data to the grid will facilitate both spatial and cross-disciplinary analyses. Except where additions to the core design are specifically justified for a given research site, we are requesting support through the Fire Science Program only for implementing the core design at each site. Partners and cooperators are committed to and capable of participating in the program. On federal lands, treatment costs are borne by lead agency or partner.
Partnerships exist across agencies and with universities, and between researchers and managers.
