Abstract The Joint Fire Sciences Program (JFSP), a multiagency research program created by the National Fire Plan to support research in wildland fire, developed a Smoke Science Plan to help guide its research in smoke and smoke management from 2008-2015. The Plan has focused research in four themes: Emissions Inventory, Smoke Model validation, Smoke and Populations and Smoke and Climate Change. This paper will identify specific "end points" for this research and outline some specific research projects that have been undertaken. We will also present results from a recent survey and Workshop of JFSP investigators undertaken, in part, as an assessment of the effectiveness of the Smoke Science Plan and an evaluation of how well it is likely to achieve these "end points."
