New HUD Research Grant Competition

On August 21st, HUD announced the availability of up to $950,000 in FY 2017 research funding. The full text of the announcement is at https://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/documents/huddoc?id=FY17_FR-6100-N-29.pdf.

The following projects are eligible for award in the amounts listed:

Project 1 - Understanding Child Trajectories in HUD-Assisted Housing. HUD may award one or more cooperative agreements with a total of all awards not to exceed $450,000.

Project 2 - The Social and Economic Impacts of the Community Development Block Grant Program. HUD may award one or more cooperative agreements with a total of all awards not to exceed $500,000.

Project 1
Proposed projects should focus on secondary data analysis using administrative data, survey data, or linked data products (government or other sources) to assess long-term child outcomes among children who reside or resided in HUD-assisted housing. While HUD is interested in how poverty affects childhood trajectories, proposals must explicitly and exclusively target children connected to HUD-assisted housing.

Project 2
The objective of this project is to develop a better understanding of the effects of specific Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) eligible activities. Through this project, HUD seeks to identify objective, quantifiable outcome measures that can be attributed to specific CDBG activities in order to inform policymakers at the federal, state, and local levels.

The application deadline is 11:59:59 p.m. Eastern time on 10/15/2017. Applications must be received no later than the deadline. Submit your application to Grants.gov unless a waiver has been issued allowing you to submit your application in paper form. Reference on grants.gov is FR-6100-N-29, The Research and Evaluation, Demonstrations and Data Analysis and Utilization Program (HUDRD) Department of Housing and Urban Development.
