Opportunity Summary:
The Fall 2011 EPA Science To Achieve Results (STAR) Fellowships for Graduate Environmental Study is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency designed to support graduate students pursuing advanced training in environmental fields. Offered under the EPA STAR program (CFDA 66.514), this opportunity is structured as a fellowship-style grant that provides direct support to masters and doctoral students whose coursework and research align with environmental science and related disciplines. The overall goal is to help build the next generation of environmental professionals and researchers by funding graduate study in areas that contribute to the EPA mission.
EPA anticipated making about 105 new fellowship awards, contingent on the availability of funds, with planned selections and awards by June 30, 2011. The estimated total funding associated with the announcement is listed as $4,500,000. Each fellowship can provide up to $42,000 per year (the stated award ceiling), which functions as the maximum annual support level per recipient. Cost sharing or matching is not required, meaning applicants are not expected to bring non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility.
The fellowship duration depends on the degree level. Masters students may receive support for up to two years. Doctoral students may receive up to three years of support, and that support can be used over a five-year window, which is helpful for students whose research timelines include field seasons, lab-intensive work, or other program requirements that may not fit neatly into consecutive academic years.
Application deadlines were set for November 5, 2010, with different cutoffs 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 opportunity was posted on September 7, 2010, created on September 15, 2010, and later archived on December 5, 2010. The funding opportunity number is EPA-F-2011-STAR-J3, which applicants would use to locate and reference the correct announcement and submission package.
Eligibility is broadly described in the listing as "Others," with the specifics deferred to Section III of the full announcement. In practice, that means prospective applicants needed to consult the official solicitation text for the precise requirements (such as student status, academic program expectations, field of study fit, and any citizenship or enrollment conditions, if applicable). Likewise, the announcement notes that Section IV contains additional details on submission methods and due dates, reinforcing that applicants should rely on the full notice for procedural requirements.
