careers in an environmental field. This goal is consistent with the
immediate and long-term mission of EPA, to protect public health and
the environment. The program has proven to be beneficial to both the
public and private sectors by providing a steady stream of
well-trained environmental specialists to meet environmental
challenges in our society. It has also provided new environmental
research in physical, biological, health sciences, and social sciences
and engineering. Fellowship topics are as follows: Emerging
Environmental Approaches & Challenges: Innovative Investigations for
Oil Spill Impacts (A1); Emerging Environmental Approaches &
Challenges: Social Sciences (A2); Emerging Environmental Approaches &
Challenges: Information Science (A3); Tribes and American
Indian/Alaska Native/Pacific Islander Communities (B1);
Nanotechnology(C1); Science & Technology for Sustainability:
Environmental Entrepreneurship (D1); Science & Technology for
Sustainability: Green Engineering/Building/Chemical Products &
Processes/Materials Development (D2); Science & Technology for
Sustainability: Green Energy/Natural Resources Production & Use (D3);
Global Change (E1); Clean Air (F1); Drinking Water (G1); Water
Quality: Hydrogeology and Surface Water (H1); Water Quality: Coastal
and Estuarine Processes (H2); Human Health: Public Health (I1); Human
Health: Risk Assessment and Risk Management (I2); Ecosystem Services:
Aquatic Systems Ecology (J1); Ecosystem Services: Terrestrial Systems
Soil and Plant Ecology (J2); Ecosystem Services: Terrestrial Systems
Animal Ecology (J3); Pesticides and Toxic Substances (K1); Land
Protection (L1).
ELIGIBILITY
Applicants must be citizens of the United States or its territories
or possessions, or be lawfully admitted to the United States for
permanent residence. Students do not need to be enrolled in or
formally accepted in a full-time graduate program at the time they
apply for a fellowship, but proof of enrollment or acceptance must be
produced prior to the award of the fellowship. Students must attend a
fully accredited U.S. college or university. Students must be
pursuing a master's or doctoral degree in an environmentally related
field of specialization. Students who have completed more than one
year in the master's program or four years in the doctoral program are
not eligible. Students enrolled in a master's program, however, may
apply for a doctoral fellowship. Employees of the U.S. government
must be able to prove separation from federal service before accepting
this fellowship.
FUNDING
Students seeking a master's degree may be supported for a maximum
of two years. Students seeking doctoral degrees may receive support
for a maximum of three years, usable over a period of four
years. The fellowship provides up to $42,000 per year of
support. A maximum of $84,000 will be provided for master's fellows
(two years) and up to $126,000 (three years) will be provided to
doctoral students. The $42,000 annual support covers stipend,
tuition, and expenses as follows: Stipends -- For the 2011-2012
academic year these will be $25,000 for twelve-month tenures and
prorated monthly at a maximum of $2,083 for shorter periods. Funds
for unused months are forfeited. Stipends are paid directly to the
Fellow. At its discretion, each fellowship institution may supplement
a Fellow's stipend from institutional funds in accordance with the
supplementation policy of the institution. Tuition and Academic
Fees -- Up to $12,000 per year will be paid directly to the
institution. For the purposes of this fellowship, health insurance is
not considered to be an academic fee. Expense Allowance -- Up to
$5,000 will be provided to pay for items and activities for the direct
benefit of the student's education and research, such as for health
insurance, books, supplies, data analysis, publication costs,
equipment (e.g., computers), travel to technical and scientific
meetings, and domestic and international travel required to conduct
the proposed research. Specific instructions regarding the
disbursement and management of the expense allowance will be provided
during the award process. Source: Grants.gov (09/07/10). (jap)
