Opportunity Summary:
The 10th Annual P3 Awards is an EPA-run national student design competition that provides grant funding for teams proposing practical, science-based solutions to real-world sustainability problems. P3 stands for People, Prosperity, and the Planet, and the program is built around the idea that strong sustainability projects should balance all three pillars at once: improving quality of life for people, protecting the environment, and supporting economic viability. The opportunity invites applicants to research, develop, and design innovative approaches that respond to technical and societal needs while moving communities toward long-term sustainability.
This opportunity is a discretionary EPA grant in the environmental funding category (CFDA 66.516, P3 Award National Student Design Competition for Sustainability). The EPA anticipated making about 45 awards with an estimated total funding amount of $1,575,000. Individual awards could be as high as $15,000, with no stated minimum award amount (award floor listed as $0). Importantly for applicants, the announcement indicates there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which means teams generally do not need to provide additional non-federal funds to participate, though applicants would still be expected to follow all budget and eligibility rules described in the full announcement.
The grant was posted on September 13, 2012, with an application deadline (closing date) of December 11, 2012, and an archive date of January 10, 2013. Submission methods and any timing nuances are directed to the full announcement, particularly Section IV, and eligibility details are likewise deferred to Section III. The eligibility category is listed broadly as "Others" with clarification provided in the full text, which is typical for student-focused competitions where eligibility may depend on team composition, academic status, and institutional sponsorship.
