11/13/2003 EPA Seeks Interns Interested in Working in The Hazardous Waste Management Field

These cooperative agreements will be awarded under Section 311(b)3 and (9) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act and Section 8001 of the Solid Waste Disposal Act. This cooperative agreement would enable students to (1) gain knowledge of alternative or innovative treatment technologies and real work experience in the hazardous waste management field, and (2) earn academic credit.

Depending on the availability of funds, it is anticipated that a total of approximately $750,000 over five years, including direct and indirect costs, will be awarded in FY04. Proposals may request funding with a total project cost of up to $150,000 per year with a duration of up to five years. It is anticipated that OSWER would provide funding for up to fifteen (15) interns per summer, for a twelve-week summer internship, at a stipend of approximately $10,000 per intern. The
project period, however, would run April to April of each year. Funding will only cover stipends and cannot be used to cover housing or student round-trip travel costs. Based on CERCLA statute 311(b)(3), EPA requires cost sharing at a minimum of 5%. The Catalogue of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) is 66.607.
