Opportunity Summary:
The 8th Annual P3 Awards (People, Prosperity, and the Planet) is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that supports student-led research, development, and design projects aimed at solving real-world sustainability problems. The program is built around the idea that practical solutions should balance the three pillars of sustainability: improving quality of life for people, protecting the planet, and supporting long-term economic prosperity. In other words, proposals are expected to show how an innovative design or technology can be environmentally responsible, socially beneficial, and economically sensible at the same time. The announcement also notes that projects funded under this opportunity may involve collecting geospatial information, meaning some teams might use mapping, location-based data, or other geographic analysis as part of their work.
This opportunity is structured as a grant and falls under the environmental funding activity category. EPA anticipated making about 64 awards under this competition, with an estimated total funding amount of $2,310,000. Individual awards were expected to be relatively small and targeted toward early-stage design and proof-of-concept work, with an award ceiling of $15,000 per project. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, which typically makes the program more accessible for student teams and academic institutions that may not have additional funds available to meet a match.
The competition is identified by Funding Opportunity Number EPA-G2011-P3-Q1 and is associated with CFDA number 66.516 (P3 Award: National Student Design Competition for Sustainability). It was posted on September 21, 2010, and the application deadline (closing date) was December 22, 2010, with the archive date listed as January 21, 2011. While the short description emphasizes the overall purpose and themes, applicants were directed to the full announcement for the exact submission requirements, the official due date rules, and the detailed eligibility criteria (noted as being in Section III for eligibility and Section IV for submission instructions).
Eligibility is summarized in the listing as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," which signals that the program likely had specific rules about who could apply (for example, student teams working through an eligible institution, or particular academic departments), but those details were not fully included in the brief synopsis. For complete program details, EPA directed applicants to the P3 website (http://www.epa.gov/P3). For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact was Ron Josephson at 202-343-9643.
