Opportunity Summary:
The Healthy Homes and Lead Technical Studies Programs Pre-Application (Funding Opportunity Number FR-5800-N-06) is a discretionary HUD funding opportunity that supports research and technical studies aimed at making housing safer and healthier. The central purpose is to expand both HUD's and the public's understanding of housing-related health and safety hazards, while also improving existing methods or developing new ways to assess hazards and control or mitigate them. HUD is placing a strong emphasis on projects that address key residential hazards, with particular attention to lead-based paint and other priority "healthy homes" issues, especially where there are clear gaps in the science around accurate, efficient hazard identification and cost-effective mitigation strategies.
This opportunity is offered through cooperative agreements, meaning awardees should expect an active partnership with HUD during the project rather than a hands-off grant relationship. HUD anticipates making about 10 awards under this notice, with an estimated total funding pool of $4,000,000. 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 reduces barriers for applicants that may not have non-federal funds available to contribute.
Eligible applicants cover a broad mix of organizations across the public, private, nonprofit, and academic sectors. Eligible entities include state, county, city/township, and special district governments; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; public and state-controlled universities and colleges as well as private institutions of higher education; nonprofits (including those with 501(c)(3) status and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3)); for-profit organizations (other than small businesses) and small businesses; independent school districts; and other eligible applicants as described in the full notice. Federal agencies are specifically not eligible to apply. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are also not eligible to compete for or receive awards under this announcement.
HUD also flags a couple of program-specific eligibility conditions. Applications that supplement existing projects are allowed and can compete alongside proposals for new work. However, if an organization received an award under the FY2013 Healthy Homes Technical Studies Grant Program cycle, that organization is not eligible to apply again to that same program cycle unless it proposes a different Principal Investigator, which is intended to broaden participation and reduce repeat funding of the same leadership teams. In addition to these eligibility rules, applicants must meet the standard threshold requirements laid out in HUD's 2014 General Section to be considered for an award.
The solicitation is framed as a pre-application process, and the submission logistics are strict. Pre-applications had to be submitted through Grants.gov and received and validated no later than 11:59:59 PM Eastern Time on the deadline date. For this particular posting, the original and current closing date listed is July 8, 2014 (posted June 2, 2014), and the opportunity was later archived on February 13, 2015. While those dates indicate this specific competition is historical, the structure and priorities are still useful for understanding how HUD frames research needs in healthy housing and lead hazard control.
In terms of technical focus, HUD directs applicants to the notice appendices for the detailed hazard categories and supporting literature. Appendix A (Key Residential Health and Safety Hazards) outlines the set of priority hazards HUD wants addressed, and Appendix B (Relevant Publications and Guidelines) provides the references and guidance that underpin the notice. In practice, this means competitive proposals would be expected to align with HUD-identified hazard priorities and build on established evidence, while also pushing the field forward by improving measurement, screening, assessment tools, intervention methods, or implementation approaches that reduce risk in real homes at reasonable cost.
For applicants seeking the full announcement and supporting materials, HUD provided an additional information link hosted on the HUD portal. Questions about accessing the full announcement electronically were directed to the listed contact, J. Kofi Berko (J.Kofi.Berko@hud.gov) in HUD Grants Policy.
