Opportunity Summary:
The Fall 2009 EPA Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Fellowships for Graduate Environmental Study is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency designed to support graduate students pursuing advanced degrees in environmental fields. Offered under EPA's STAR program (CFDA 66.514), the opportunity is structured as a fellowship-style grant that provides direct annual support to selected master's and doctoral students. The announcement also flags that projects supported under this request for applications (RFA) may involve collecting geospatial information, which is relevant for applicants working with mapping, spatial datasets, remote sensing, GIS, or other location-based environmental data.
EPA anticipated making about 120 new fellowship awards, depending on available funding, with planned awards by June 30, 2010. Total estimated funding for the competition was listed at $4.5 million. Each fellowship could provide up to $37,000 per year in support, which functions as the stated annual ceiling for an individual award. Cost sharing or matching funds were not required, meaning applicants were not expected to provide a financial match to receive an award.
The program set different maximum support periods based on degree level. Master's students could receive fellowship support for up to two years. Doctoral students could receive support for up to three years, and that support could be used over a four-year window, offering some flexibility in how the funding aligns with program milestones and research timelines.
