Opportunity Summary:
The 6th Annual P3 Awards is a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) national student design competition that provides grant funding to support research, development, and design projects aimed at solving real-world sustainability problems. The program is built around the "three pillars" of sustainability: People, Prosperity, and the Planet. In practical terms, the EPA is looking for projects that apply scientific and engineering principles to create innovative, workable solutions that improve quality of life, protect environmental resources, and make economic sense at the same time. The intent is not just academic research in the abstract, but hands-on design work that can respond to technical needs and move society toward more sustainable systems.
This opportunity is offered as a discretionary grant under the EPA P3 (People, Prosperity, and the Planet) Award Program, cataloged under CFDA 66.516. The competition anticipates making about 50 awards, with an estimated total funding pool of $950,000. Individual awards have a ceiling of $10,000, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute their own funds to be eligible. The funding activity area is environmental, but the scope is intentionally broad because sustainability challenges often sit at the intersection of environmental protection, public health, community needs, technology, and economic development.
Eligibility is geared toward academic institutions, specifically public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education, with some additional categories potentially allowed as described in the full announcement. Because this is framed as a student design competition, applicants should expect that proposals will involve student-led or student-centered project teams operating through eligible institutions, with faculty or institutional support as required by the EPA's rules. The official announcement directs applicants to review Section III for detailed eligibility criteria and any clarifications about who may apply and under what conditions.
Key dates for this cycle show the opportunity was posted and created on September 23, 2008, with an application deadline (original and current closing date) of December 23, 2008, and an archive date of January 22, 2009. The announcement emphasizes that applicants should consult the full notice, particularly Section IV, for the approved submission methods and exact due date instructions. For additional program background and expectations, the EPA points applicants to the P3 program website at http://www.epa.gov/P3, which typically includes competition goals, examples of past projects, and guidance on what a strong sustainability design proposal looks like.
For applicants who cannot access the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact is Cynthia L. Nolt Helms at the EPA, reachable at 202-343-9693.
