Opportunity Summary:
The Fall 2009 EPA Science To Achieve Results (STAR) Fellowships for Graduate Environmental Study is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that supports graduate students pursuing advanced training in environmental fields. Offered under the EPA STAR program (CFDA 66.514), the award is structured as a fellowship-style grant intended to build the next generation of environmental scientists and professionals. The announcement also notes that projects funded under this request for applications may involve the collection of geospatial information, meaning applicants whose work includes mapping, spatial analysis, remote sensing, GIS datasets, or location-based environmental measurements should be prepared to handle those components appropriately.
EPA planned, subject to available appropriations, to make about 120 new fellowship awards with an expected award timeframe by June 30, 2010. The total estimated funding level listed for the competition is about $4,500,000. Each fellowship can provide up to $37,000 per year in support, which functions as the maximum annual funding level (award ceiling) per recipient. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated, so applicants are not expected to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of eligibility.
The fellowship duration depends on the degree level. Masters students can receive support for up to two years. Doctoral students can receive up to three years of support, and that support can be used over a four-year window, which gives some flexibility for program pacing and research timelines. While the summary does not list specific eligible applicant categories beyond referring readers to the full announcement, the opportunity is clearly aimed at masters and doctoral level students in environmental disciplines, and additional eligibility rules are contained in Section III of the official notice.
Application deadlines were set for October 22, 2009, with different 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 on the same date. The opportunity was posted on August 19, 2009, and later archived on November 21, 2009. Applicants were instructed to consult the full announcement, especially Section IV, for detailed submission instructions, acceptable formats, and any method-specific requirements.
