Attention College Students: EPA is now accepting applications for Phase I of the 15th Annual P3 Awards, a national student design competition focusing on people, prosperity and the planet (P3) (https://go.usa.gov/xnmc7).

EPA is seeking applications in research areas of air quality, clean and safe water, land revitalization, and safer chemicals in the marketplace. Applications are due February 7, 2018.
The P3 program is a two-phase team competition. For the first phase, interdisciplinary student teams submit proposals to compete for $15,000 grants for project ideas addressing environmental solutions. Recipients use the funding to research and develop their design projects during the academic year. In the spring, teams compete for P3 Phase II grant funding of up to $75,000 to implement their projects in a real world setting.
The P3 Student Design Competition is part of EPA’s Sustainable and Healthy Communities (SHC) Research Program (https://go.usa.gov/xnmcF), which supports the development of science and tools to help communities make better decisions toward a healthy society and environment. |
