Opportunity Summary:
The Fall 2011 EPA Science To Achieve Results (STAR) Fellowships for Graduate Environmental Study is a discretionary federal funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under its STAR program. It is structured specifically as a fellowship (funding instrument type: grant) intended to support graduate students pursuing advanced training in environmental fields at either the masters or doctoral level. The program is designed to build the next generation of environmental professionals and researchers by providing multi-year financial support while recipients complete their graduate study and related research.
For this cycle, EPA anticipated making about 105 new fellowship awards, contingent on the availability of funds, with awards expected by June 30, 2011. The total estimated funding for the competition was listed at $4,500,000. Each individual fellowship could provide up to $42,000 per year in support (the stated award ceiling), which is meant to help cover the costs associated with graduate education and training during the fellowship period.
The duration of support depends on the degree level. Masters students could receive fellowship support for up to two years. Doctoral students could receive up to three years of support, with the flexibility to use those three funded years over a five-year window, which can help accommodate the longer timelines and variable pacing typical of PhD programs.
Applications were due on November 5, 2010, with separate cutoffs depending on submission 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 announcement emphasized that applicants should consult the full solicitation, particularly Section IV, for detailed submission instructions, allowable methods, and any additional timing requirements. The opportunity was posted in early September 2010 and later archived on December 5, 2010.
Eligibility was broadly categorized as "Others," with the announcement directing applicants to Section III for the specific eligibility rules and requirements. The program is associated with CFDA number 66.514 (Science To Achieve Results (STAR) Fellowship Program). No cost sharing or matching was required, meaning applicants were not expected to provide non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the fellowship.
