Third HUD Notice of Public Information Grant Now Available

HUD is soliciting applications for the Natural Experiments Grant Program announced through a Notice of Funding Availability. This program supports scientific research that makes use of natural experiments to evaluate the impacts of local, state, and federal policies in the areas of housing and community development. HUD is particularly interested in funding evaluations that can help policymakers determine how to spend taxpayer dollars effectively and efficiently, though other types of projects will also be considered. Applications for this grant, ranging from $100,000 to $250,000, are due February 21, 2011.

The Sustainable Communities Research Grant Program and the Homeless Families Demonstration Small Grant Research Program, announced through two NOPIs, are still open, with applications due February 4, 2011 and February 18, 2011, respectively.
