Opportunity Summary:
The Fall 2011 EPA Science To Achieve Results (STAR) Fellowships for Graduate Environmental Study is a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency funding opportunity designed to support graduate students pursuing advanced study in environmental fields. Offered under EPA's STAR program (CFDA 66.514), this is a fellowship-style grant intended to help develop the next generation of environmental scientists and professionals by providing substantial annual financial support while recipients complete masters or doctoral programs focused on environmental topics.
EPA planned, subject to available appropriations, to make about 105 new fellowship awards by June 30, 2011. The program budget listed for this competition is approximately $4.5 million in estimated total funding. Each fellowship can provide up to $42,000 per year, which functions as the award ceiling for individual recipients. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not expected to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the fellowship.
The fellowship duration differs by degree level. Masters students may receive support for up to two years. Doctoral students may receive support for up to three years, and that three-year allotment can be used across a five-year window, offering flexibility if the doctoral timeline includes fieldwork, comprehensive exams, or other program milestones that may affect continuous funding needs. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses the grant instrument type, with the activity category labeled as "Other" and clarified as a fellowship.
Applications were due on November 5, 2010, with separate cutoff times depending on the submission method. Paper applications needed 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 announcement notes that applicants should consult the full notice, particularly Section IV, for the official submission instructions, acceptable methods, and any detailed timing rules that could affect whether an application is considered on time. The posting date for the opportunity was September 7, 2010, and the archived date is listed as December 5, 2010.
Eligibility is broadly described as "Others," with the announcement directing applicants to Section III for the full eligibility rules and any limitations on who may apply. Because this is a graduate fellowship program, the key practical takeaway is that the intended applicants are masters and doctoral students in environmental fields of study, but the definitive criteria, documentation requirements, and any restrictions would be spelled out in the full announcement. For applicants who could not access the complete announcement electronically, the EPA provided a point of contact: Brandon Jones, reachable at 1-800-490-9194.
