EPA Awards Research Grants to 21 Student Teams to Develop Innovative Solutions
to Environmental and Public Health Challenges
WASHINGTON (Aug. 1, 2023) – Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) announced $523,796 in funding to 21 student teams for their research and
innovative solutions to address environmental and public health challenges as
part of the Agency’s People, Prosperity, and the Planet (P3) Program.
“EPA’s P3 program, now in its twentieth year, is an exciting and unique
program that recognizes the power of students to translate imagination and
science into new solutions that protect human health and the environment,”
said Chris Frey, Assistant Administrator for EPA’s Office of Research and
Development. “Congratulations to this year’s teams. Their innovative
projects tackle critical environmental issues and include an eco-friendly
coating to reduce contamination in marine environments, a device to remove
microplastics from stormwater, an air monitoring and filtration technology to
reduce student exposures to air pollutants, and more.”
The 21 Phase I recipients announced today will receive grants of up to $25,000
each to help them develop their proof of concept and will be eligible to
compete for a Phase II grant of up to $100,000 to further implement their
designs.
