The FIA Forest Science Program funds research to support sustainable forest management in British Columbia through:

• A research program that funds short- and long-term research to address issues related to growth and yield of forest products and services, the function of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, and the management required to provide for sustainable ecosystem values and services
   
• Infrastructure maintenance (site maintenance, core monitoring, and knowledge asset protection) on key provincial long-term research installations that provide opportunities for the collection of long-term data and collaborative research
   
• Partnerships and collaborative projects with other agencies and research networks

Funds are allocated through an annual Research Call for Proposals, according to priorities identified by the CF-FSAC and its advisory committees, the MFR Internal Advisory Group, and FORREX.
