Opportunity Summary:
The Fall 2011 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 study in environmental fields. Offered under the EPA's STAR program, this fellowship is intended to build the next generation of environmental researchers and professionals by providing substantial financial support to students working toward either a master's or doctoral degree in environmentally related disciplines. The assistance is provided in the form of a fellowship grant (classified under a fellowship category of funding activity rather than a typical research project grant), and it does not require any cost sharing or matching funds from the applicant.
In terms of timing, the application deadline for this cycle was November 5, 2010, with separate cutoffs depending on how the application was submitted. 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 originally posted on September 7, 2010, with a creation date of September 15, 2010, and it was later archived on December 5, 2010. The EPA indicated that applicants should consult the full announcement, particularly Section IV, for the official submission instructions, acceptable methods of delivery, and any detailed due date guidance.
Funding levels for the program were significant for an individual student award. Each fellowship could provide up to $42,000 per year, which functions as the annual maximum (award ceiling) per recipient. The EPA anticipated total program funding of about $4.5 million for this competition, and, subject to the availability of appropriated funds, planned to make approximately 105 new fellowship awards by June 30, 2011. The fellowship duration depends on the degree level: master's students could receive support for up to two years, while doctoral students could receive up to three years of support, with the doctoral funding allowed to be used over a five-year window to accommodate the longer and sometimes non-linear nature of doctoral programs.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with the specific eligibility rules deferred to the full announcement, especially Section III. In other words, the summary record flags that there are additional conditions and clarifications that determine who can apply and under what circumstances, and those details are not fully spelled out in the brief listing. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 66.514, which corresponds to the Science To Achieve Results (STAR) Fellowship Program, and it is administered by the Environmental Protection Agency.
For applicants or institutions that had trouble accessing the full announcement online, the EPA provided a direct point of contact: Brandon Jones, reachable at 1-800-490-9194. This contact was specifically offered as assistance for accessing the announcement electronically, which is often where the detailed requirements, forms, and instructions are located.
