Grant Description

The objective of this RFP is to support the training of undergraduate and graduate students in environmental research. The Program will substantially benefit future environmental scientists and technicians. It is envisioned that the goal of increasing both the effectiveness and number of future environmental scientists and technicians will be achieved by allowing students to collaborate with senior ORD scientists while working in a fully operational federal research laboratory. Research training will be conducted at EPAуs facilities in Cincinnati, Ohio. Some examples of the field of study for desirable student participants include (but are not limited to) those majoring in chemistry, engineering, biology, computer science, physical sciences, life sciences, ecology, and urban planning.
