Opportunity Summary:
The Fall 2011 EPA Science To Achieve Results (STAR) Fellowships for Graduate Environmental Study is a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) funding opportunity designed to support graduate students pursuing masters or doctoral degrees in environmental fields. Offered under EPA's STAR program, the award is structured as a fellowship (funded through a grant mechanism) intended to help build the next generation of environmental scientists and professionals by providing substantial annual financial support while recipients complete their graduate training and research.
Applications were due on November 5, 2010, with two distinct submission cutoffs depending on the method. Paper applications had to be received by 4:00 PM, while electronic applications submitted through Grants.gov were due by 11:59:59 PM Eastern Time on the same date. The opportunity was posted in early September 2010 and later archived on December 5, 2010, which signals that the competition window has closed and the announcement is now part of the historical record.
Subject to available appropriations, EPA planned to make about 105 new fellowship awards by June 30, 2011. The program projected an estimated total funding pool of about $4.5 million. Individual fellowships could provide up to $42,000 per year (the award ceiling), which is intended to cover student support costs typical of a graduate fellowship. Masters students could receive support for up to two years. Doctoral students could receive support for up to three years, and that doctoral support could be used over a longer five-year period, giving recipients flexibility to align funding with coursework, candidacy milestones, and dissertation research timelines.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary EPA opportunity under the fellowship activity category rather than a standard research project grant program for institutions. The listing is associated with CFDA number 66.514 (Science To Achieve Results (STAR) Fellowship Program). 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.
Eligibility is summarized in the notice as "Others," with the key details deferred to Section III of the full announcement. In practice, that usually means the precise eligibility rules (such as citizenship or residency requirements, enrollment status, field of study, academic standing, and any restrictions related to prior federal support) are defined in the full solicitation rather than in the high-level listing. Applicants were instructed to consult the full announcement, especially Section IV, for the required submission method, formatting rules, and the complete set of due date instructions to avoid disqualification on technicalities.
For access issues or help obtaining the full announcement, the notice provided a contact: Brandon Jones, reachable at 1-800-490-9194. The core takeaway is that this opportunity offered competitive, multi-year fellowship support (up to $42,000 annually) for graduate students in environmental disciplines, with roughly a little over one hundred new awards anticipated for the 2011 cycle and application submission handled either by mail (received by the deadline) or electronically through Grants.gov by the specified cutoff time.
