Advancing HUD's Learning Agenda through Cooperative Agreements with Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic Serving Institutions, Tribal Colleges and Universities, and Alaska Native/ Native Hawaiian-Serving Institutions
Apply to Internal Competition // Limit: 1* // Tickets Available: 1
Eligibility
Eligible institutions may only submit a single application in response to this funding opportunity; however, each application may include up to four unique research project proposals. The institution will be responsible for coordinating and submitting all research project proposals under a single application.
For example, Institution X wishes to submit four research project proposals: one proposal to address a research question under the Fair Housing topic area, a second proposal to address a research question under the Homelessness topic area, and a third and fourth proposal to address two different research questions under the Housing and Health topic area. In this circumstance, Institution X will submit a single application in response to this NOFO—which will contain four separate research project proposals. Each research project proposal will be scored independently against the evaluation criteria found in Section V of this NOFO. In this scenario, Institution X may be awarded funding for any number of the four research project proposals submitted for consideration.
Purpose
HUD’s Learning Agenda articulates a set of critical, policy-relevant research questions that can inform policy and practice related to housing and urban development at the federal, state, and local level. Such research can generate benefits beyond the immediate scope of the project and can support broader applications, contribute to policy or program design, or enhance program implementation strategies. PD&R has identified a subset of research questions adapted from HUD’s Learning Agenda that will be the focus of this funding opportunity. These questions are grouped under seven topic areas:
1. Community Development and Place-Based Initiatives
2. Disaster Recovery
3. Fair Housing
4. Homelessness
5. Homeownership, Asset Building, and Economic Opportunity
6. Housing and Health
7. American Indian, Alaska Native, and/or Native Hawaiian Housing Needs
