Environmental Protection Agency P3 Award

EPA hosts the Annual P3 (People, Prosperity, and the Planet) Award competition. EPA and its 40 partners launched the P3 Award in 2004 to respond to the challenges of the developed and developing world in moving toward sustainability. This national competition enables college students to research, develop and design scientific, technical and policy solutions to sustainability challenges. Their designs are helping to achieve the mutual goals of economic prosperity while providing a higher quality of life and protecting the planet. Students and their faculty advisors compete for EPA's P3 Award and the opportunity of up to an additional $75,000 in funding to move their designs to the marketplace or implement them in the field.

The application and other information about the award is available on the EPA website at http://es.epa.gov/ncer/p3/.
