University of Wyoming students awarded $25K for air quality monitoring during
wildfires
LARAMIE, Wyo. (Aug. 3, 2023) – This week, the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) announced a $25,000 grant for a team of students at the
University of Wyoming in Laramie to develop a citizen science air quality
reporting system.
As part of EPA’s People, Prosperity and the Planet (P3) Program, the award
will provide funding for the proposed project through July 31, 2024. The
students will develop a mobile app that outdoor recreators in Albany County,
Wyoming, can use to report air particle levels at backcountry trails. Data
collected through the project will help inform safe outdoor recreation
decisions during wildfires.
“Air particle pollution from wildfires is an increasing threat to human
health, the environment and recreation-dependent economies,” said KC Becker,
EPA Regional Administrator. “Congratulations to these University of Wyoming
students, whose proposal uses imagination and science to develop an innovative
solution to wildfire-related challenges.”
This award is part of $523,796 in funding that EPA granted to 21 student teams
across the country. The EPA announced the winners as Phase I of the 19th
Annual P3 awards. All Phase I recipients will be eligible to compete for a
Phase II grant of up to $100,000 to further implement their designs.
More information about all 2023 P3 Phase I winners is available on the EPA
website.
