Descriptions of EPA Projects for the Research Fellowship Program

To explore the fellowship opportunities at EPA, click on the research areas listed below.  These projects may also be tailored to meet the goals of fellowship programs that are offered through the National Science Foundation or other funding agencies.  Contact the point of contact or mentor listed for the project to confirm availability and participation in the program.

Please review the link below for more details on eligibility, application process, funding request instructions, allowable budget, and submission guidelines: 

National Science Foundation INTERN Announcement 

Note that, to be eligible, graduate students must have completed at least one academic year in their graduate programs (master's or doctoral) and be making satisfactory progress towards the completion of their degrees.

This opportunity is open to PIs (and co-PIs) who are supporting graduate students through an active NSF award. A PI for an active GRFP fellowship (not the GRFP fellow) should contact GRFP regarding specific GRFP requirements before submitting a supplemental funding request on behalf of a GRFP fellow.

If you are an EPA researcher with an ongoing project and would like your opportunity to be listed below, please complete the EPA NSF-GRFP Intern Project Opportunity Template Form and return to Project Officer.

For additional clarity on the process, please review a brief flowchart describing the steps for obtaining an EPA NSF-GRFP INTERN.
