Opportunity Summary:
The Fall 2013 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 environmental fields of study at the masters and doctoral levels. Offered under the EPA STAR program (CFDA 66.514), the fellowship is meant to build scientific and technical capacity by funding students who are preparing for research or professional careers tied to environmental protection and related disciplines.
Applications were due on November 27, 2012 by 11:59:59 PM, with the opportunity originally posted on October 5, 2012 and later archived on December 27, 2012. The EPA anticipated making about 80 new fellowship awards in late summer 2013, contingent on available funding and other agency considerations. The estimated total funding associated with the announcement was about $3.4 million.
In terms of financial support, the fellowship program offered up to $42,000 per year per fellow. The maximum period of support depended on degree level: masters students could receive funding for up to two years, while doctoral students could receive support for up to three years. For doctoral recipients, those three years of support could be used over a five-year window, which provides flexibility to accommodate typical PhD timelines, research phases, and program requirements. The award ceiling listed for the opportunity was $126,000, aligning with the maximum multi-year total for a doctoral fellowship, and there was no stated award floor. The announcement also specified that there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to provide institutional or non-federal matching funds as a condition of eligibility.
Eligibility was not fully detailed in the summary text and was instead directed to Section III of the full announcement for the specific requirements and any clarifications about who may apply (the listing notes “Others” and refers readers to additional eligibility guidance). Likewise, submission instructions and any method-specific deadlines were directed to Section IV of the full announcement, which is where applicants would typically find details such as required forms, formatting, certifications, and how to submit electronically.
For help, the EPA provided a central email address (2013FellowshipsRFA@epa.gov) with different points of contact depending on the issue. Bronda Harrison was listed for eligibility questions (with instructions to include “Attn Bronda Harrison” and the funding opportunity number in the subject line), Todd Peterson for electronic submission matters (“Attn Todd Peterson”), and Brandon Jones for technical questions (“Attn Brandon Jones”). The funding opportunity number for reference was EPA-F2013-STAR-B1, and the title was “Fall 2013 EPA Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Fellowships for Graduate Environmental Study.”
