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 masters or doctoral degrees in environmental fields. It is offered under the EPA STAR program and is structured specifically as a fellowship-style grant rather than a traditional research project grant to an institution. A notable administrative detail in the announcement is that work supported under this request for applications (RFA) may involve the collection of geospatial information, which can bring additional considerations around data handling, documentation, and applicable federal requirements.
EPA planned to make about 120 new fellowship awards, depending on available appropriations, with an anticipated award timeline culminating by June 30, 2010. The program’s financial support is described as up to $37,000 per year per fellowship, and the total estimated funding associated with this competition was listed as $4,500,000. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not expected to provide non-federal funds to be eligible or competitive under the stated terms.
The fellowship duration differs by degree level. Masters students can receive support for up to two years. Doctoral students can receive support for up to three years, with flexibility to use those three funded years across a four-year window, which can help accommodate typical Ph.D. program timelines (for example, coursework and qualifying exams in earlier years and dissertation research later). The funding activity category is identified as “Other,†clarified by the agency as “Fellowship,†and it is tied to CFDA number 66.514 (Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Fellowship Program). The funding opportunity number for this announcement is EPA-F2009-STAR-C1.
Applications were due on October 22, 2009, with separate cutoffs depending on 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 same day. The opportunity was posted on August 19, 2009, and later archived on November 21, 2009. Eligibility is broadly listed as “Others,†with the specific eligibility requirements and any restrictions deferred to Section III of the full announcement, which applicants would need to consult for details such as who may apply, student status requirements, and any program-specific conditions.
