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 training in environmental fields. Offered under the EPA STAR program and categorized specifically as a fellowship (CFDA 66.514), the award is structured as a grant-based fellowship meant to help build the next generation of environmental scientists and professionals. The announcement also notes that projects supported under this request for applications may involve the collection of geospatial information, which is relevant for applicants whose research includes mapping, spatial analysis, remote sensing, GIS, or other location-based data collection and management.
EPA planned, subject to available funding, to make approximately 120 new fellowship awards by June 30, 2010. The estimated total program funding listed for this cycle is about $4.5 million. Each fellowship can provide up to $37,000 per year in support, which serves as the effective award ceiling for an individual fellow in a given year. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated, meaning applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the fellowship support.
The fellowship duration depends on the degree level. Masters students may receive support for up to two years. Doctoral students may receive support for up to three years, and that doctoral support can be used across a four-year window, offering some flexibility in how the funding aligns with a students program timeline. In practice, this structure is meant to accommodate common graduate program milestones and research schedules while still placing clear caps on the maximum supported period.
Key dates are centered on an October 22, 2009 deadline. For paper submissions, applications needed to be received by 4:00 PM. For electronic submissions through Grants.gov, the deadline was October 22, 2009 at 11:59:59 PM Eastern Time. The opportunity was posted on August 19, 2009, and the archive date is listed as November 21, 2009. The listing emphasizes that applicants should consult the full announcement, especially Section IV, for the official submission requirements, methods, and any additional deadline-related instructions.
Eligibility is broadly indicated as "Others" in the listing, with a specific note to consult Section III of the full announcement for detailed eligibility rules. This typically signals that eligibility is defined by program-specific criteria (for example, student status, field of study, academic standing, and other fellowship conditions) rather than being limited to institutions or government entities. Applicants are directed to the full announcement for the complete eligibility and application guidance.
