Research Partnerships

In 2023, the Office of Policy Development and Research (PD&R) at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) released a notice titled "FY2023 and FY2024 Authority to Accept Unsolicited Proposals for Research Partnerships." The notice announced that PD&R has the authority to accept unsolicited research proposals that address current research priorities. In accordance with statutory requirements, the research proposals must be submitted by eligible applicants and provide cost sharing at least 50 percent of total project cost from philanthropic entities or Federal, state, or local government agencies.

The Department is interested in increasing participation of Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) of higher education and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in all program areas. Therefore, HUD seeks proposals from MSIs and HBCUs as well as from eligible entities that are not themselves MSIs and HBCUs but have developed a partnership with one or more MSIs and/or HBCUs.
