Opportunity Information: Apply for EPA G2022 STAR F1
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is offering funding through its Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program for community-engaged research focused on the drivers and environmental impacts of energy transitions in underserved communities. The core aim is to support research that not only studies how energy systems are changing (for example, shifts toward renewable energy, electrification, efficiency upgrades, changes in fuel sources, or retirement of older infrastructure), but also examines why those changes happen, who influences them, and what the resulting environmental conditions and health-related exposures look like for communities that have historically been left out of full economic, social, and civic participation.
This opportunity uses a broad definition of "underserved communities" for both the competition itself and application review. It includes groups defined by shared characteristics as well as specific geographic communities that have been systematically denied full opportunity and are often disproportionately affected by environmental harms and risks. Examples explicitly referenced include people of color, low-income populations, rural communities, tribal and indigenous communities, and other groups facing persistent inequities. In practice, proposals are expected to be grounded in real community priorities and lived experience, with research designed and carried out in meaningful partnership with the communities affected, rather than treating them only as study subjects.
The funding mechanism is listed as discretionary support provided through grants and cooperative agreements under CFDA 66.509. The opportunity number is EPA G2022 STAR F1. EPA anticipated making about 11 awards, with a maximum award amount (ceiling) of $1,125,000 per award. While the eligibility category is summarized as "Others" with further detail referenced in the full eligibility text, the overall framing signals that applicants are likely to include a mix of research institutions and organizations capable of conducting rigorous science while also demonstrating credible community engagement and collaboration.
Timing details included a creation date of January 18, 2022, and an original application closing date of April 28, 2022. The funded projects are expected to generate research findings that help explain the forces shaping energy transitions in underserved settings and clarify the environmental impacts of those transitions, such as changes in local air pollution, cumulative environmental burdens, exposure disparities, or other risk factors that can accompany major energy and infrastructure shifts. The broader outcome EPA is targeting is actionable, community-informed evidence that can support more equitable energy transition decisions and reduce disproportionate environmental harms.Apply for EPA G2022 STAR F1
