Opportunity Summary:
The Doctoral Dissertation Research Grant Program (DDRG), offered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), is a discretionary grant opportunity designed to help doctoral candidates finish dissertation research focused on policy-relevant housing and urban development issues. The basic aim is to support advanced doctoral research that can inform real-world decision-making in areas tied to housing, cities, and community development, rather than purely theoretical work with no policy connection.
This funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FR 5415 N 10, CFDA 14.516) was posted on July 16, 2010, with an application deadline of August 16, 2010, and an estimated total funding amount of $400,000. Individual awards could be as high as $25,000, with no stated minimum award amount. The program does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which means applicants do not need to provide a formal institutional or personal funding match to be eligible.
Eligibility is structured around universities sponsoring their doctoral students. Only institutions of higher education that are accredited by a national or regional accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education may apply, and they apply in support of their doctoral candidates. A single institution is allowed to sponsor more than one student. Even though the institution is the eligible applicant, each doctoral student is responsible for completing their own application, typically with administrative help from their university.
The student-level requirements are specific and reflect that this program is meant for candidates who are effectively at the dissertation stage. Applicants must be currently enrolled full-time in an accredited doctoral program and must have an approved immigration or citizenship status: U.S. citizen, U.S. national, lawful permanent resident (Green Card holder), or another qualified alien category such as an asylee or refugee. By the application deadline, the student must have a dissertation proposal or prospectus formally accepted by the full dissertation committee, must have an assigned dissertation advisor, and must have completed all other doctoral program requirements except the dissertation itself. Those completed requirements include written and oral components such as comprehensive exams. The announcement also specifies a timing benchmark related to completion of those requirements by September 1, 2009, indicating the competition is intended for students who are already advanced and ready to execute dissertation research.
From an administrative perspective, the award is made as a grant under HUD and aligns with several activity areas, including community development, housing, education, employment/labor and training, and information/statistics. The original online application portal is referenced through Grants.gov (https://apply07.grants.gov/apply/).
