Opportunity Summary:
The Fall 2011 EPA Science To Achieve Results (STAR) Fellowships for Graduate Environmental Study is a discretionary federal fellowship opportunity offered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under its broader STAR program. Its purpose is to support graduate-level training and research in environmental fields by providing competitive fellowship funding to students pursuing either a masters or a doctoral degree. The opportunity is structured as a fellowship (listed under CFDA 66.514, Science To Achieve Results (STAR) Fellowship Program) rather than a traditional project grant, meaning the primary focus is on supporting the student scholar and their graduate study in an environmental discipline.
EPA planned, subject to available funds, to make approximately 105 new fellowship awards, with an overall estimated total funding level of about $4.5 million. Each individual fellowship could provide up to $42,000 per year in support. The program allows masters students to receive funding for up to two years. Doctoral students can receive up to three years of support, and that doctoral support can be used over a longer window of up to five years, which can help accommodate program milestones, research timelines, or other academic scheduling realities.
The application deadline for this competition was November 5, 2010, with two separate cutoff times depending on the submission method. For paper submissions, applications had to be received by 4:00 PM. For electronic submissions through Grants.gov, the deadline was 11:59:59 PM Eastern Time on the same date. EPA indicated it expected to complete the award process and issue the new fellowships by June 30, 2011. The opportunity was posted on September 7, 2010, created on September 15, 2010, and later archived on December 5, 2010.
There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not required to contribute their own funds or secure institutional matching dollars as a condition of eligibility. Eligibility was described broadly in the listing as “Others,†with the agency directing applicants to the full announcement (specifically Section III) for the detailed eligibility rules and any constraints on who could apply. Similarly, EPA pointed applicants to Section IV of the full announcement for exact submission requirements, acceptable submission methods, and any additional instructions tied to the due dates.
