Gary W. Barrett, Odum Professor of Ecology, was invited to serve on an EPA Board of Scientific Counselors subcommittee to review the Science To Achieve Results and Greater Research Opportunities fellowship programs. Barrett was asked to spearhead preparation of the STAR component of the final report. As the STAR fellowship program was cut from federal funding in 2002, the BOSC subcommittee report is vital to future funding for these fellowship programs.
