The P3 competition will provide grants to teams of college students
to research, develop, and design solutions to challenges to sustainability.
P3 highlights people, prosperity, and the planet – the three pillars
of sustainability – as the next step beyond P2 or pollution prevention.
The P3 Award program is a partnership between the public and private
sectors to progress toward sustainability by achieving the mutual
goals of economic prosperity, protection of the natural systems
of the planet, and providing a higher quality of life for its
people. EPA and its affiliates offer the P3 Award competition
to respond to the technical needs of the developed and developing
world in moving towards the goal of sustainability.
This notice announces the availability of funds and solicits
proposals that enhance scientific assessment capabilities to better
understand how changes in air quality and atmospheric deposition
impact entire ecosystems. The successfully funded proposal will
present a methodology for developing: (1) ecological indicators
of air quality (that measure air quality in relation to aquatic
and terrestrial ecosystem conditions) and (2) a measurement system
for using these indicators to evaluate progress in improving ecosystem
condition.
