Opportunity Information: Apply for EPA G2022 P3 Q3
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is offering the 19th Annual P3 Awards, a national student design competition focused on "People, Prosperity and the Planet." This opportunity supports student-led projects that take on real environmental and public health challenges by researching, developing, designing, and demonstrating practical solutions. The core idea behind the P3 program is that strong projects should do three things at once: improve quality of life for people, strengthen economic prosperity through real-world benefits, and protect the environment through sustainable approaches. The competition particularly emphasizes solutions that can make a difference in places that are often overlooked or face persistent challenges, including small, rural, tribal, and underserved communities across the United States.
The funding mechanism is a discretionary grant under EPA’s environmental assistance portfolio (CFDA 66.516). Proposals are expected to be grounded in scientific principles and lead to innovative, technology-based designs that can be tested or demonstrated, not just conceptual ideas. In other words, EPA is looking for applied, solution-oriented work that shows a clear pathway from research and design to real-world use, with measurable environmental and societal outcomes. While the announcement notes that eligibility is listed as "Others" and requires applicants to check the specific eligibility details in the full notice, the framing of the program as a student design competition indicates that proposals are intended to come from academic settings and student teams, typically supported by faculty or institutional partners as required by federal grant processes.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number EPA G2022 P3 Q3 and an original posting date of August 10, 2021. Applications were originally due October 27, 2021, with the announcement directing applicants to Section IV for specific submission instructions. The maximum award amount listed is $100,000, and EPA anticipated making about 20 awards. Overall, this opportunity is designed to help student innovators move beyond classroom theory and build credible, demonstrable solutions that balance human well-being, economic practicality, and environmental responsibility in a single integrated project.Apply for EPA G2022 P3 Q3
