Opportunity Information: Apply for EPA G2023 STAR B2
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), through its Office of Research and Development (ORD), is offering an Early Career funding opportunity under the Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program, in collaboration with EPA's Air, Climate, and Energy (ACE) research program. The grant focuses on improving the understanding, measurement, and control of air emissions from municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills. The core idea is to support practical, scientifically rigorous research that can help EPA and landfill operators better quantify emissions and identify effective mitigation approaches that protect public health and the environment.
The research priorities center on advancing how landfill emissions are measured and managed, with a strong emphasis on cost-effective monitoring approaches. Applicants are asked to explore how different measurement platforms and technologies can be combined, including stationary monitors (fixed-site instruments), mobile monitoring (vehicle-based sampling), aerial methods (such as aircraft or drones), and remote sensing (satellite or ground-based optical techniques). A key objective is to make emissions quantification easier and more accurate, especially for methane, which is a major greenhouse gas associated with landfills, and for hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) and other relevant air pollutants that may affect nearby communities.
A second major research theme is the use of these same monitoring approaches to assess mitigation strategies and technologies and to help identify best landfill management practices. In other words, the opportunity is not only about measuring emissions more precisely, but also about using measurement data to evaluate what works in reducing emissions and what operational practices lead to better outcomes. Proposals that consider usability and practical deployment are particularly aligned with the stated goals, since the EPA highlights "ease of use" and the ability to evaluate mitigation actions in real-world settings.
This opportunity is a competitive, peer-reviewed extramural research award, meaning the work is conducted outside of EPA by researchers at eligible institutions. It is offered as a grant or cooperative agreement under CFDA number 66.509, categorized under environmental research and support activities. The listing notes an expected number of two awards, with an award ceiling of $600,000 per award. While the eligibility field indicates "Others," applicants are directed to consult the announcement's additional eligibility information (typically where STAR program requirements, early career definitions, and eligible institution types are spelled out).
The opportunity is identified as EPA-G2023-STAR-B2. It was created on October 19, 2022, with an original closing date of December 21, 2022, and the notice instructs applicants to rely on the full announcement (including Section IV) for official submission methods and any due date details. Overall, the grant is designed to push forward accessible, integrated monitoring methods and to connect measurement advances directly to mitigation evaluation and best-practice guidance for reducing landfill air emissions.Apply for EPA G2023 STAR B2
