Opportunity Summary:

The Healthy Homes and Lead Technical Studies Grant Program Full Application is a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) discretionary funding opportunity that supports research and technical studies focused on residential health and safety hazards. The central goal is to strengthen HUD's and the public's understanding of housing-related hazards and to improve, refine, or develop new ways to assess those hazards and control them. HUD is particularly interested in projects that move the science forward on major "healthy homes" issues, including lead-based paint, by targeting important gaps in knowledge and practice. Emphasis is placed on approaches that make hazard identification more accurate and efficient and make hazard mitigation more practical and cost-effective. The opportunity points applicants to Appendix A of the notice for the list of key residential hazards and to Appendix B for the core publications and guidelines that inform the program.

Funding is provided through cooperative agreements, which typically means HUD expects a more active role in the project compared with a standard grant (for example, collaboration, coordination, or involvement in shaping deliverables). The total estimated funding available is $4,000,000, with an anticipated 10 awards. Individual awards are expected to range from $200,000 (award floor) to $750,000 (award ceiling). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for applicants by not requiring non-federal funds to be contributed to the project budget.

This announcement covers two related tracks, each with its own CFDA number: Lead Technical Studies Grants (14.902) and Healthy Homes Technical Studies Grants (14.906). The notice makes clear that eligibility is limited.
