Announcing The Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Program 2007 Research Grants

Numerous grants and graduate fellowships in various environmental science and engineering disciplines can be obtained via a competitive bid process and independent peer review.

The program engages the nation’s best scientists and engineers in targeted research that complements EPA’s own outstanding intramural research program and those of our partners in other federal agencies. In addition, through this same competitive process, NCER periodically establishes large research centers in specific areas of national concern. At present, these centers focus on children’s health, hazardous substances, particulate matter, and estuarine and coastal monitoring.
