Opportunity Summary:
The 2010 Academic Year EPA Greater Research Opportunities (GRO) Fellowships for Undergraduate Environmental Study is a discretionary EPA fellowship program designed to support bachelor-level students who are pursuing environmental fields of study. Offered under the EPA GRO program (CFDA 66.513), this opportunity funds students during their junior and senior undergraduate years and also includes a required summer internship at an EPA facility between those two academic years. The announcement notes that some fellowship activities may involve the collection of geospatial information, meaning recipients could work with location-based data as part of their research or internship responsibilities.
Applications were due on December 10, 2009, with different cutoffs depending on the submission method: paper applications had to be received by 4:00 PM, while electronic submissions through Grants.gov were due by 11:59:59 PM Eastern Time. The EPA anticipated making about 30 new fellowship awards, depending on available funding, with awards planned by approximately July 30, 2010. The estimated total funding for the program was listed as $1,395,000, and the maximum amount associated with an award was noted as an award ceiling of $46,500.
In terms of financial support, the fellowship provided up to $19,250 per year in academic support for each of the two supported academic years, plus up to $8,000 for internship support for a three-month summer period. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not expected to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility is broadly described in the listing as “Others,†with the specific requirements deferred to Section III of the full announcement. In practice for programs like this, that typically means the award is aimed at individual undergraduate students meeting defined academic and program criteria, rather than being open to all types of organizations. Anyone needing the complete announcement but unable to access it electronically was directed to contact Georgette Boddie at 202-343-9741 for assistance. The funding opportunity number for reference is EPA-F-2009-U-GRO-Q2, and the posting date was September 15, 2009, with the opportunity archived on January 9, 2010.
