Applied fire science Award

An award initiated in 2020, the Applied Fire Science Award recognizes individuals who integrate fire science and ecological principles into their wildland fire management and planning strategies. Nominees should have an exemplary record in the application of fire science on the ground and be leaders in the effort to better connect science and management. One award will be given annually, and international nominees are accepted.

Note: The Awards Committee is currently working on revisions to the AFE Awards Program, and we will not be accepting nominations or giving awards in 2024. We look forward to sharing a new and improved set of awards with you in early 2025, along with the nomination instructions. If you have any feedback for us to consider as we revise the program, please contact us. Thank you!
