Opportunity Information: Apply for EPA G2019 P3 Q4
The 16th Annual P3 Awards: A National Student Design Competition Focusing on People, Prosperity and the Planet - Chemical Safety is a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) student design grant competition that funds early-stage, technology-based projects aimed at solving practical, real-world environmental and public health problems through a sustainability lens. It sits under the EPA's People, Prosperity and the Planet (P3) Award Program, which is built around the idea that strong solutions should do three things at the same time: improve quality of life for people, support economic prosperity (for example by being cost-effective, scalable, or creating local value), and protect the environment. In this particular call, the theme is chemical safety, so the strongest proposals are expected to address chemical-related risks or challenges in ways that are technically grounded and designed for real deployment rather than purely theoretical research.
The competition is explicitly oriented toward needs within the United States, with an emphasis on communities that often face resource constraints or disproportionate environmental burdens, such as small, rural, tribal, and disadvantaged communities. In practical terms, this means applicants are encouraged to think about solutions that can actually be adopted in places with limited infrastructure, limited budgets, or unique local conditions, and to design with end users in mind. Projects are expected to use scientific principles to research, develop, design, and demonstrate an innovative approach, which implies hands-on validation such as prototyping, field testing, bench-scale demonstration, or other proof-of-concept activities that show feasibility.
This opportunity is a discretionary grant offered by the EPA (Agency Name: Environmental Protection Agency) under CFDA 66.516, with funding provided through a grant instrument. The award ceiling is $25,000 per project, and EPA anticipated making about 20 awards under this announcement, which signals a competitive but meaningful number of funded teams. The opportunity number listed is EPA G2019 P3 Q4, and the funding opportunity title specifically frames this cycle around chemical safety within the broader P3 sustainability framework.
Eligibility is broadly indicated as "Others," with the announcement directing applicants to consult the additional eligibility language in the official notice for clarification. Since this is a national student design competition, eligibility typically revolves around student teams working with an academic institution and a faculty advisor, but the exact requirements, allowable applicants, and any institutional constraints must be verified in the full solicitation text referenced in the announcement.
Key dates included in the source information show the opportunity was created on Oct 24, 2018, with an original closing date of Dec 11, 2018. The notice also emphasizes that applicants should rely on the official announcement, especially Section IV, for the authoritative submission instructions, accepted submission methods, and any nuance around deadlines. Overall, the grant is best understood as seed funding for student-led, sustainability-centered chemical safety innovations that can demonstrate real-world promise and align clearly with the P3 model of simultaneous social, economic, and environmental benefit.Apply for EPA G2019 P3 Q4
