Opportunity Summary:
The Fall 2011 EPA Science To Achieve Results (STAR) Fellowships for Graduate Environmental Study is a discretionary federal grant opportunity run by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under its STAR program. It is structured specifically as a fellowship (rather than a traditional research project grant), with the goal of supporting graduate students pursuing advanced training in environmental fields. The opportunity is tied to CFDA 66.514, the Science To Achieve Results (STAR) Fellowship Program, and is intended to help build the next generation of environmental scientists and professionals by funding students at the masters and doctoral levels.
EPA anticipated making about 105 new fellowship awards, contingent on available funding, with awards expected by June 30, 2011. The estimated total funding for the competition was listed as $4,500,000. Each fellowship could provide up to $42,000 per year in support, which represents the stated award ceiling. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to provide institutional or personal matching funds as a condition of receiving the fellowship.
In terms of duration, the program distinguishes between degree levels. 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 over a five-year window, which can help accommodate real-world program timelines (for example, coursework periods, qualifying exams, dissertation research, or part-time enrollment phases), depending on the program rules described in the full announcement.
Application timing was strict and included separate cutoffs depending on submission method. Paper applications needed to be received by November 5, 2010 at 4:00 PM. Electronic applications submitted through Grants.gov were due by November 5, 2010 at 11:59:59 PM Eastern Time. The opportunity was posted on September 7, 2010, with a creation date of September 15, 2010, and it was archived on December 5, 2010. The announcement notes that applicants should consult the full solicitation, especially Section IV, for the official submission procedures and any additional detail on due dates and accepted methods of submission.
Eligibility is summarized broadly as “Others,†with the announcement directing applicants to Section III for the specific eligibility rules and any constraints or requirements (for example, student status, program accreditation, citizenship or residency rules if applicable, or institutional sponsorship conditions). Because the eligibility field is intentionally non-specific in the summary record, the controlling guidance would be the full announcement section referenced by EPA.
