Opportunity Summary:
The 11th Annual P3 Awards is an EPA-funded national student design competition that supports projects aimed at improving sustainability, with this particular cycle emphasizing water-related challenges. Through the People, Prosperity and the Planet (P3) program, the EPA is looking for proposals that research, develop, and design practical solutions to real-world problems affecting the long-term sustainability of human society. The competition is built around the idea that strong sustainability outcomes happen when projects intentionally balance the three pillars of sustainability: benefits to people (quality of life and health), prosperity (economic viability and practical implementation), and the planet (environmental protection and resource conservation). A key expectation is that teams apply scientific and engineering principles to create innovative, workable designs rather than purely theoretical concepts.
This opportunity is offered as a discretionary grant under the EPA's environmental assistance programs (CFDA 66.516). The EPA anticipated making about 46 awards, with an estimated total program funding level of $1,050,000. Individual awards could be as high as $75,000, and the minimum award amount was not specified (listed as $0). No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which means applicants were not obligated to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility. While the listing does not spell out eligibility in detail, it indicates that eligibility is limited to certain "other" applicant types and directs applicants to the full announcement (Section III) for the exact requirements, which typically define who can submit (for example, the types of institutions, teams, or student-led structures that qualify).
The notice was posted on November 4, 2013, with an application deadline of December 17, 2013, and the opportunity was archived on January 16, 2014. Submission details and any special timing or method requirements were referenced as being in Section IV of the full announcement. For additional program background and context, applicants were directed to the EPA P3 website (http://www.epa.gov/P3). The point of contact listed for assistance accessing the full announcement was Todd Peterson at the EPA (703-308-7224, peterson.todd@epa.gov).
