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 designed to support graduate students pursuing advanced training in environmental fields. Offered under the EPA STAR program and cataloged under CFDA 66.514, the award is structured as a fellowship-style grant that helps master s and doctoral students fund their graduate education and related research or training activities. The announcement also flags that projects supported under this request for applications may involve the collection of geospatial information, which is relevant for applicants whose work uses mapping, GIS, remote sensing, or other location-based environmental data.
EPA planned to make approximately 120 new fellowship awards, contingent on available funds, with awards anticipated by June 30, 2010. The estimated total program funding for this competition was about $4.5 million. Each fellowship could provide up to $37,000 per year in support, which is also listed as the award ceiling. The program did not require cost sharing or matching funds, meaning applicants were not expected to provide non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility or award.
The fellowship duration depends on the degree level. Master s students could receive support for up to two years. Doctoral students could receive up to three years of support, with that support usable across a four-year window, providing some flexibility in timing during the PhD program. This design is meant to align with typical graduate program timelines while allowing students to manage coursework, research phases, and other academic milestones.
Applications were due on October 22, 2009, with different cutoff times depending on the submission method. Paper applications needed 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. Eligibility is described broadly in the listing as "Others," with applicants directed to consult Section III of the full announcement for specific eligibility rules and requirements, which commonly cover student status, program enrollment, citizenship or residency conditions, and the kinds of academic disciplines and institutions that qualify.
