About this opportunity
The Environmental Protection Agency is soliciting applications for its 21st Annual P3 Awards program, which provides funding for student design teams to develop innovative technology-based projects addressing environmental and public health challenges. Eligible applicants are degree-granting institutions of higher education supporting interdisciplinary teams of students led by a faculty advisor. Funded projects will focus on improving air and water quality, ensuring community safety, and safe chemical use through hands-on research. Applications will be evaluated based on technical merit, stakeholder involvement, and potential for environmental, economic, and social benefits. The deadline for submissions is February 21, 2024.
The total available funding for this opportunity is approximately $1.2 million to be awarded to multiple recipients, with individual awards not exceeding $75,000 over a maximum two-year project period. Funded research and demonstrations are expected to be conducted at the applicant institutions and surrounding communities to address local environmental issues. Presentation of results will occur at the 2026 National Student Design Expo.
Synopsis
EPA supports research that advances the science and innovative technologies needed to remediate and restore the Nation's most challenging and complex contaminated sites; to reduce the burden of contamination from the storage and management of waste while advancing the Agency's vision for a future paradigm that fundamentally disrupts the creation and flow of waste; and to revitalize affected communities from increased exposure to contaminants resulting from natural disasters and extreme events. Examples of relevant topic areas include, but are not limited to, innovative methods and technologies to characterize and to remove contaminants from environmental media (e.g., soil, water, air); research to build community resilience to potential pollution resulting from natural disasters and extreme events; and development of innovative solutions to waste management, as well as techniques and technologies that allow for the beneficial reuse of products and materials.
The P3 program is emphasizing the use of innovation in projects submitted to this announcement. The program challenges and empowers interdisciplinary student teams to transform their classroom learning into hands-on experience by designing and demonstrating tangible solutions to real-world environmental issues in their communities.
