Opportunity Summary:
The Fall 2012 EPA Greater Research Opportunities (GRO) Fellowships for Undergraduate Environmental Study is a discretionary federal fellowship opportunity from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency designed to support bachelor-level students pursuing environmental fields of study. Through this GRO undergraduate fellowship program (CFDA 66.513), EPA planned to invest in students during the final two years of their undergraduate education by providing financial support for both the junior and senior academic years, along with a paid, full-time summer internship at an EPA facility after the student s junior year. The overall goal of the opportunity is to build the next generation of environmental professionals by combining academic funding with hands-on federal work experience.
EPA anticipated making about 40 new fellowship awards, with awards expected by July 30, 2012, assuming funds were available and other program considerations were met. The estimated total funding for the competition was 1,956,000. Individual awards could be as high as 48,900, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning students were not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of receiving support. The fellowship funding level was described as up to 19,700 per academic year for each of the two academic years, plus up to 9,500 for a three-month summer internship, which aligns with the stated maximum award level when combined across the full fellowship period.
The application deadline for this opportunity was December 12, 2011, with separate cutoffs depending on submission method. Paper applications were due by 4:00 PM Eastern Time, while electronic submissions through Grants.gov were due by 11:59:59 PM Eastern Time on the same date. The funding opportunity was posted on August 23, 2011, and later archived on January 11, 2012. Applicants were directed to consult the full announcement, especially the sections referenced in the notice (including Section I.D for the funding descriptions, Section III for eligibility requirements, and Section IV for detailed submission instructions and any additional due date information), because the summary notice indicates that eligibility and applicant type details were provided in the full text rather than fully repeated in the listing.
Administratively, the opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number EPA F2012U GRO P2 and is categorized under the Environment activity area, with the funding instrument listed as Other (reflecting that the support is structured as a fellowship rather than a standard project grant). For assistance, EPA provided contacts for eligibility and technical questions (Georgette Boddie at 703 347 8049) and for electronic submission issues (Todd Peterson at 703 308 7224), which would be particularly relevant for applicants needing help accessing the announcement or navigating Grants.gov requirements.
