Research Partnerships: In 2023, PD&R 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 of at least 50 percent of total project cost from philanthropic entities or Federal, state, or local government agencies. PD&R is interested in increasing the participation of minority-serving institutions (MSIs) of higher education in all program areas. Therefore, HUD seeks proposals from MSIs as well as from eligible entities that are not themselves MSIs but have developed a partnership with one or more MSIs. This funding opportunity closes on June 30, 2025.
