NASA’s National Space Science Center seeks for‑profit entities to join the Wildfire Interdisciplinary Research Center (WIRC) as members. The membership involves conducting research that leverages NASA Earth Science Division data (e.g., FIRMS, MODIS, VIIRS, POWER, Black Marble) to improve wildfire analytics, fuel‑moisture datasets, and model inter‑comparisons. Members will collaborate with NASA representatives, educate students and post‑docs, participate in Industry Advisory Board meetings, and submit quarterly reports on engagement, industry needs, and collaboration opportunities. Work is performed at the contractor’s facility for the calendar year 2027. • Perform NASA‑data‑driven wildfire research and analytics. • Support Industry Advisory Board communication and reporting. • Provide quarterly progress reports to satisfy IUCRC requirements. • Contribute to defining future NASA Earth Science mission needs. • All work conducted remotely from the contractor’s site.
