Opportunity Summary:
The 7th Annual P3 Awards (People, Prosperity, and the Planet) is an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) national student design competition that funds teams proposing practical, science-based solutions to real-world sustainability problems. The opportunity is framed around the three pillars of sustainability: improving quality of life for people, protecting the planet, and supporting economic prosperity. Projects are expected to use scientific and engineering principles to research, develop, and design innovative approaches that address environmental and societal challenges in a way that is feasible outside the classroom. The announcement also notes that funded work may involve collecting geospatial information, meaning projects could include mapping, spatial analysis, GIS data gathering, or other location-based environmental data activities depending on the design.
This is a discretionary grant program (Funding Opportunity Number EPA-G2010-P3-Q1) under CFDA 66.516, listed as the P3 Award National Student Design Competition for Sustainability. The EPA anticipated making about 40 awards, with an estimated total funding level of $850,000. Individual awards were capped at $10,000 (award ceiling), and the listing indicates there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which typically means applicants were not required to provide their own funds as a condition of receiving the grant.
The opportunity was posted on August 28, 2009, with an original closing date of January 4, 2010, later extended to January 5, 2010 due to the New Years holiday. The grant record was archived on February 4, 2010. While the summary field for eligible applicants is marked broadly as "Others," the specific eligibility rules were deferred to Section III of the full announcement, which usually clarifies who can apply (commonly student teams working with an eligible academic institution or other qualifying sponsor, depending on the program rules in that year).
For additional program details, applicants were directed to the EPA P3 website (http://www.epa.gov/P3), and the notice provided a point of contact for help accessing the full announcement: Cynthia L. Nolt Helms at (202) 343-9693.
