EPA
Description
This notice announces the availability of
funds and solicits applications from eligible entities for creation and
management of the Student Program for Environmental Excellence in Design
(SPEED). This project has two components. The first focuses on development of a
graduate level research training and support program that involves a research
partnership between EPA and eligible entities to continue advanced engine
research and development by providing federal funding support for graduate
level students. The recipient will work with EPA’s National Vehicle and Fuel
Emissions Laboratory (NVFEL) to develop collaborative research relationships
between EPA NVFEL staff and engineering students and faculty in this program.
The second component of this project is to design and manage a program to
introduce and motivate undergraduate level students to consider the
professional pursuit of technical careers with an interdisciplinary perspective
that focuses on improving public health and the environment and provides
related training to such students. In particular, the SPEED aims to increase
students’ awareness and understanding of the environmental benefits stemming
from increasing fuel efficiency, reducing carbon intensity in transportation
fuels, and reducing emissions in advanced vehicles. The SPEED will provide
opportunities and financial assistance to eligible entities to collaborate with
EPA staff and to provide graduate and undergraduate students with laboratory
experiences within EPA’s National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions Laboratory (NVFEL)
in the science, technology and engineering disciplines.
