Opportunity Summary:
The 8th Annual P3 Awards is a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) grant opportunity that supports a national student design competition centered on sustainability. The program is built around the three classic pillars of sustainability: people, prosperity, and the planet. Through this competition, the EPA is looking for project proposals that use solid scientific principles to research, develop, and design practical solutions to real-world environmental and societal challenges. In other words, the focus is not just on ideas in theory, but on workable designs that can make measurable improvements to human well-being, environmental protection, and economic outcomes at the same time. The announcement also notes that some funded projects may involve the collection of geospatial information, meaning applicants should be prepared for the possibility that mapping, spatial data, or other location-based datasets could be part of the research or design work.
From a funding and program-structure standpoint, this opportunity is a discretionary grant under the EPA’s environmental assistance portfolio, listed under CFDA 66.516 (P3 Award: National Student Design Competition for Sustainability). The EPA anticipated making about 64 awards under this round, with an estimated total funding amount of $2,310,000. Individual awards had a maximum (ceiling) amount of $15,000, and the notice states there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which makes it more accessible for student teams and participating institutions that may not have additional funds available. While the competition is student-focused, the eligibility category is broadly labeled and the notice directs applicants to consult Section III of the full announcement for the specific eligibility rules and any required institutional sponsorship or applicant-type limitations. Practically, these competitions typically involve students working with faculty advisors and applying through an eligible institution, so the eligibility section is an important checkpoint before investing time in a proposal.
Key dates in the announcement show that the opportunity was posted and created on September 21, 2010, with an application deadline of December 22, 2010, and an archive date of January 21, 2011. The notice emphasizes that applicants should rely on the full announcement (especially Section IV) for precise submission instructions, acceptable submission methods, and any deadline-related details. For additional program background, examples, and guidance, the EPA points applicants to the P3 program website at http://www.epa.gov/P3.
