Opportunity Summary:
The 9th Annual P3 Awards is an EPA-funded national student design competition that supports teams proposing practical, science-based solutions to sustainability problems. Through the People, Prosperity and the Planet (P3) program, the EPA is inviting applications that aim to research, develop, and design innovations that address real-world technical needs while advancing overall sustainability in human society. The heart of the competition is the idea that strong sustainability projects should balance the three pillars of sustainability: improving quality of life for people, protecting the planet, and supporting economic prosperity. Projects are expected to apply scientific and engineering principles in a creative way, with a clear connection to environmental improvement and real-world feasibility.
This opportunity is a discretionary grant program under the Environmental Protection Agency, listed under CFDA 66.516 (P3 Award: National Student Design Competition for Sustainability). The funding instrument is a grant, and the overall activity category is environment. The EPA anticipated making about 45 awards with an estimated total funding amount of $1,050,000. Individual awards could be as high as $90,000, with no stated minimum award amount (award floor listed as $0). Importantly, there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement noted for applicants, which can make it easier for student teams and their institutions to participate.
The competition was posted on October 2, 2011, with an application deadline of December 22, 2011, and the opportunity was archived on January 21, 2012. Eligibility is not fully spelled out in the brief summary text and is instead referenced as being detailed in Section III of the full announcement, with eligible applicants broadly labeled as "Others" (meaning applicants should consult the official announcement for the specific definition, such as what types of schools, student teams, or partner organizations qualify).
