P3 Award Will Help Developed and Developing Countries

The P3 competition will be closing on March 25, 2004.  EPA's Assistant
Administrator for Research and Development Paul Gilman and National Academy
of Engineering President William Wulf launched the P3 Award on 
December 10, 2003,
to respond to the technical needs of the developed and developing 
world in moving
toward sustainability. This national student design competition will enable
college students to research,develop and design sustainable solutions to
environmental and human health challenges. Support for the competition includes
more than 30 partners in the federal government,industry, and scientific and
professional societies. Sustainability has become an increasingly 
important issue
that has drawn the attention of two United Nations conferences, as well as many
science and engineering societies, cities and towns,businesses, etc.
