Opportunity Summary:
The Fall 2011 EPA Science To Achieve Results (STAR) Fellowships for Graduate Environmental Study is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency designed to support graduate students pursuing advanced degrees in environmental fields. Offered under the EPA STAR program and classified specifically as a fellowship (rather than a standard research grant to an institution), the program is aimed at helping masters and doctoral students build the training and research foundation needed for environmental careers, while contributing to EPA-relevant scientific and policy priorities.
EPA anticipated making about 105 new fellowship awards, contingent on the availability of federal funding, with planned award decisions by June 30, 2011. The total estimated funding for the competition was approximately $4,500,000. Each individual fellowship could provide up to $42,000 per year, which represents the program's annual award ceiling per fellow. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not expected to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of eligibility or award.
The fellowship duration depends on the degree level. Masters students could receive support for up to two years. Doctoral students could receive up to three years of support, and that support could be used flexibly over a five-year window, which is important for PhD timelines where coursework, exams, field seasons, and dissertation research do not always fit neatly into consecutive years of funding.
The application deadline was November 5, 2010, but the exact cutoff varied by 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 announcement notes that applicants should consult the full solicitation, particularly Section IV, for detailed instructions on acceptable submission methods, formatting, and the official interpretation of due dates and receipt rules.
In terms of administrative details, the opportunity was posted on September 7, 2010, with a creation date of September 15, 2010, and it remained open until the November 5, 2010 closing date. The program falls under CFDA 66.514 (Science To Achieve Results (STAR) Fellowship Program). Eligibility was listed broadly as "Others," with the announcement directing prospective applicants to Section III for the precise eligibility requirements and any constraints related to student status, degree program, citizenship or residency, academic discipline, or institutional affiliation.
For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, EPA provided a point of contact: Brandon Jones at 1-800-490-9194.
