Opportunity Summary:
The 8th Annual P3 Awards is a discretionary grant opportunity run by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under its P3 Award Program, which stands for People, Prosperity and the Planet. It is set up as a national student design competition focused on sustainability, asking applicants to propose projects that research, develop, and design practical solutions to real-world problems affecting human society. The core idea is to push teams to apply solid scientific and engineering principles to create innovative, workable approaches that advance the three pillars of sustainability at the same time: improving quality of life for people, protecting the planet, and supporting economic prosperity.
This competition sits in the environmental funding activity category and is offered as a grant (not a contract). EPA notes that projects funded under this opportunity may involve collecting geospatial information, which matters for teams using mapping, remote sensing, GIS, or location-based datasets as part of their design, monitoring, or evaluation work. The program is framed around meeting technical needs in the world while moving toward long-term sustainability goals, so proposals are generally expected to connect a clear societal or environmental challenge with a thoughtfully designed solution and a plan for testing or demonstrating how it works.
Funding for this round is estimated at $2,310,000 in total, with an award ceiling of $15,000 per award. EPA anticipates making about 64 awards. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, meaning applicants are not required to provide a financial match to receive funding. The assistance listing is under CFDA number 66.516, labeled as the P3 Award National Student Design Competition for Sustainability.
Key dates for the announcement include a posted and creation date of September 21, 2010, and an application closing date of December 22, 2010. The archive date is January 21, 2011. Eligibility is not fully spelled out in the summary text and is instead referenced as being detailed in Section III of the full announcement, with the Eligible Applicants field shown as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)." In practice for P3, that typically signals the competition is aimed at student teams working through eligible institutions, but anyone interested would need to confirm the exact eligibility rules in the full solicitation.
Applicants are directed to the EPA P3 website (http://www.epa.gov/P3) for program details, and the notice emphasizes that submission methods and due dates should be verified in Section IV of the full announcement. For help accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed contact is Ron Josephson at 202-343-9643.
