Opportunity Summary:
The 2010 Academic Year EPA Greater Research Opportunities (GRO) Fellowships for Undergraduate Environmental Study is a discretionary EPA fellowship-grant opportunity designed to support bachelor-level students pursuing environmental fields. It sits under the EPA GRO program (CFDA 66.513) and notes up front that some fellowship activities may involve the collection of geospatial information, meaning projects or internship work could include mapping, GIS, or other location-based data collection and analysis depending on the assignment.
EPA planned to make about 30 new fellowship awards, with awards anticipated by July 30, 2010, assuming funds were available. The opportunity was posted on September 15, 2009, with an application deadline of December 10, 2009. For paper submissions, the deadline was 4:00 PM (local time as specified in the announcement), and for electronic submissions through Grants.gov the deadline was 11:59:59 PM Eastern Time on the same date. The total estimated funding associated with the opportunity was listed as $1,395,000, and the award ceiling was $46,500. No cost sharing or matching requirement was indicated.
The fellowship package is structured to cover a student through both the junior and senior years of undergraduate study and to include a required summer internship at an EPA facility in between those two academic years. Financial support was described in two parts: up to $19,250 per year for academic support during each of the two school years, plus up to $8,000 for internship support for a three-month summer period. In practical terms, this means the fellowship is meant to provide sustained support while the student completes upper-division coursework and also gains hands-on federal experience through a placement within EPA.
Eligibility was categorized broadly as “Others,” with the specific eligibility rules deferred to Section III of the full announcement. In other words, the listing itself signals that not all applicants are automatically eligible and that applicants needed to rely on the official announcement for details such as student status requirements, academic standing, field of study, citizenship or residency conditions (if any), and any institutional nomination or enrollment requirements that sometimes apply to undergraduate fellowships.
For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, EPA provided a direct contact: Georgette Boddie at (202) 343-9741. The opportunity’s official identifier was Funding Opportunity Number EPA-F-2009-U-GRO-P2, and the title and dates indicate it was a time-limited, archived competition (archive date January 9, 2010) tied to the 2010 academic year fellowship cohort.
