What Is This Program?

Forestry Research Program encompasses Forest Research and Analysis (FIA), Technology Transfer, and USDA Climate Hubs. Congressionally mandated, FIA currently delivers consistent and credible information about the status of forests and forest resources. Prior to 1980, the federal government struggled to participate in technology exchange with private entities. However, since then, there have been four major pieces of legislation designed to foster an environment of sharing the effort and the reward of technology partnerships. The Climate hubs deliver science-based, region-specific information and technologies, with USDA agencies and partners, to agricultural and natural resource managers that enable climate-informed decision-making, and to provide access to assistance to implement those decisions.
