Environmental Professional Intern Program: This solicitation seeks to obtain cooperative agreement applications from non-profit organizations to carry out the Environmental Professional Intern Program (Intern Program). The intern program provides on-the-job training for graduate and undergraduate students interested in careers in the environmental area. The need for wise stewardship of the Nation s environmental resources is increasing and with it a need to enlarge the pool of skilled environmental professionals while, at the same time, increasing the diversity of this pool. The EPA recognizes that there is a shortage of skilled environmental professionals. The programmatic objective of this intern program is to provide unique opportunities for cooperative study, research, and development that would increase the number and diversity of skilled engineers, scientists, policymakers, legal professionals, and managers in the environmental area. The student interns will be considered employees of the recipient organization rather than of the EPA during their training period. All student interns must be enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate program, or accepted into an undergraduate or graduate program that will commence within nine months of selection as a student intern. This recipient organization would be responsible for locating candidate interns, selecting the interns and administering the funding to the interns.
