Wildfire Interdisciplinary Research Center (WIRC) membership
NASA is seeking capability statements for Wildfire Interdisciplinary Research Center membership under a federal contract notice, with full eligibility and performance details contained in the attached statement of work.
⚑ Federal contract special notice; eligibility is stated only as 'applicant restrictions (federal contract)' and the excerpt does not specify who may apply. · Requires capability statement response to the notice ID; full scope and membership terms are in the attached SOW. · Potentially not a grant/assistance opportunity; likely procurement-oriented membership/contract action.
Wildfire and disaster-resilience work is adjacent to the team’s weather/warning and climate-risk portfolio, especially if the center involves communication, warning response, stakeholder behavior, or risk perception. But a NASA WIRC membership is more likely to be interdisciplinary wildfire science/engineering than the team’s core survey and policy-evaluation line, so this is only a moderate fit.
