Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced this Science to Achieve Results (STAR) grant opportunity to support research on how climate-driven extreme events affect air quality and water quality, and how decision-makers can better prepare for those impacts. The solicitation is centered on building practical, policy-relevant capacity: it asks applicants to develop assessments, tools, and techniques, and to demonstrate innovative technologies that help translate climate and extreme-event science into information that air and water quality managers can actually use. A major emphasis is improving understanding of the hazards themselves (the extreme events) and tightening the connection between climate scientists, impacts modelers, and management agencies so that they can co-produce credible, usable outputs for planning and regulatory decisions under a changing climate.
The opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number EPA-G2011-STAR-D2 under CFDA 66.509 (Science To Achieve Results Research Program). It is a discretionary grant program in the environmental category. EPA expected to make about four awards from an estimated total funding amount of $6,000,000, with an award ceiling of $375,000 and no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The award floor is listed as $0, which typically means proposals of various sizes may be considered as long as they fit the program expectations and any limits described in the full announcement.
A distinctive feature of this solicitation is a dedicated early-career option in addition to the standard awards. The early-career track is meant to fund projects that are smaller in scope and budget and led by early-career principal investigators, helping newer researchers establish independent research programs in this high-priority area. The specific eligibility rules for early-career applicants, as well as broader applicant eligibility details, are contained in Section III of the Request for Applications, and the announcement notes that interested applicants should consult that section closely.
Key dates show the announcement was posted on January 24, 2011, with an application deadline of April 18, 2011, and an archive date of May 18, 2011. The announcement also points applicants to Section IV for official submission instructions and exact due date procedures. For access issues or help locating the full announcement, the listed contact is James Gentry at 703-347-8093.
