Opportunity Summary:
The Air, Climate and Energy: Green Energy/Natural Resources Production and Use (B3) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number EPA 2015 STAR B3) is a discretionary U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) funding announcement under the Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Fellowship Program (CFDA 66.514). It is designed to support graduate-level research and training in environmental fields, with an emphasis aligned to air, climate, and energy topics, including green energy and the production and use of natural resources. Rather than functioning like a typical project grant to an institution, it is structured as a fellowship-style award intended to help develop the next generation of environmental scientists and engineers.
EPA planned to make about 55 new fellowship awards in Fall 2015, depending on available funding and other program considerations. The estimated total funding for the competition was listed as $7,200,000. Financial support is provided at up to $44,000 per year per fellowship. Masters students can receive support for up to two years (up to $88,000 total). Doctoral students can receive support for up to three years (up to $132,000 total), and that doctoral support can be used over a five-year window, offering flexibility as students progress through coursework, research, and dissertation milestones. The award ceiling is $132,000 and the award floor is listed as $0, reflecting that actual funding depends on the specific fellowship duration and other eligibility or administrative factors. No cost sharing or matching is required.
Key dates in the listing include a posted date of April 12, 2015 (creation date April 13, 2015), with an application deadline (closing date) of May 26, 2015 at 11:59:59 PM. The opportunity was later archived on June 25, 2015. The funding activity category is Environment, and the instrument type is labeled as “Other,” consistent with fellowship mechanisms that do not always fit standard grant categories.
Eligibility is summarized in the listing as “Others,” with the note that applicants must consult the full announcement (especially Section III) for the detailed eligibility requirements and any clarifications about who may apply. Similarly, the notice points applicants to the full announcement (including Section IV) for application submission requirements and procedures.
