In line with the objectives outlined in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA), the Greater Research Opportunities fellowship program is developed upon the hopes of strengthening the environmental research competencies, notwithstanding the shortage of funds or its inefficiencies.
The Greater Research Opportunities Fellowship program is vital in keeping up with the EPA's effort, along with the US government, to ensure that the United States never falls short in meeting its current and foreseen human resource needs in the fields of environmental, biological, health and social science, and as well as in engineering.
