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

• research programs on sustainability and forest growth and value
   
• 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
   
• graduate student research on applied topics in forest science and conservation
   
• collaborative research initiatives to focus funding on specific issues addressed using a business planning approach
   
• 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 Program Advisory Committees that provide strategic advice to the Forest Science Board.
