Opportunity Information: Apply for EPA G2019 P3 Q3
The 16th Annual P3 Awards is a discretionary grant opportunity run by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under its People, Prosperity and the Planet (P3) Student Design Competition. The program is structured as a national student design competition that funds practical, science-based projects where teams research, develop, design, and demonstrate solutions to real-world environmental and community challenges. The core theme for this round is "Sustainable and Healthy Communities," with an emphasis on ideas that can be applied in everyday settings and that address pressing needs in the United States.
A defining feature of this opportunity is the required "P3 approach," meaning a proposed project must be built to deliver three outcomes at the same time: it should measurably improve peoples quality of life, generate economic benefits or support economic prosperity, and protect the environment. In practice, EPA is looking for technology-oriented and design-driven concepts grounded in scientific principles, not just theoretical studies. The intent is to push student teams to develop innovations that can be demonstrated in a realistic way, showing how the solution could work beyond the classroom or lab.
The competition is also framed around serving communities with unmet needs, including small, rural, tribal, and disadvantaged communities across the U.S. Applicants are expected to think about who benefits from the solution and how it could be used in settings where cost, access, infrastructure limits, and local conditions matter. Projects that are responsive to these constraints, and that are designed with implementation and real users in mind, align closely with the program purpose.
From a funding standpoint, the opportunity is offered as a grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) within the environmental assistance category (Funding Activity Category: Environment) and is tied to CFDA number 66.516. The maximum award amount listed is $25,000 per award (Award Ceiling), and EPA anticipated making about 20 awards (Expected Awards: 20). The opportunity was posted/created on October 24, 2018, with an original application deadline of December 11, 2018, and applicants were directed to follow the official announcement for the exact submission instructions, eligible applicant details, and any deadline clarifications.
Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with the notice indicating that applicants must consult the additional eligibility text in the full announcement for specifics. Because it is explicitly a student design competition, eligibility commonly involves student-led teams associated with an academic institution and a faculty advisor or similar sponsor, but the authoritative requirements and any restrictions are contained in the formal solicitation and the P3 program materials referenced by EPA.
Overall, this grant opportunity is designed to catalyze student innovation that can be demonstrated and that delivers combined social, economic, and environmental value. The strongest concepts for this program are those that clearly connect scientific and engineering design choices to tangible community benefits, show a credible path to real-world use, and balance affordability and practicality with measurable environmental protection outcomes.Apply for EPA G2019 P3 Q3
