Opportunity Summary:
The Healthy Homes Technical Studies Grant Program (FULL Application), Funding Opportunity Number FR 5900 N 16, was a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) focused on advancing practical, research-based solutions to housing-related health and safety hazards. The core purpose of the program was to support technical studies that strengthen the field's ability to identify, measure, and reduce hazards found in homes. HUD emphasized three main outcomes: improving existing methods for detecting and controlling key hazards, developing new methods to detect and control those hazards, and expanding what is known about the hazards themselves so that future interventions can be better targeted and more effective.
This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally signals that HUD expected to have a more active role than in a standard grant, such as substantial involvement in project direction, coordination, or oversight during the life of the award. The activity category was housing, but the intent was clearly tied to public health and safety within residential environments. The program was listed under CFDA 14.906, Healthy Homes Technical Studies Grants, and it did not require cost sharing or matching funds, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal dollars to be eligible or competitive.
In terms of funding scale, HUD anticipated making about four awards with an estimated total program funding amount of $2,000,000. Individual awards were expected to fall between an award floor of $300,000 and an award ceiling of $700,000, which indicates HUD was looking for fairly substantial, focused studies rather than small pilot projects. The timeline for the full application round was tight: the opportunity was posted on August 6, 2015, and full applications were due by September 8, 2015, with electronic submissions required by 11:59:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The announcement was archived on October 8, 2015, reflecting that it was a time-limited competition.
Eligibility for the FULL application was restricted. Only applicants who had already submitted a pre-application under the related pre-application announcement (FR 5900 N 15) and were subsequently identified as qualified based on scoring were permitted to submit under this full application announcement. This was essentially a second-stage competition where the pool of eligible applicants was narrowed before full proposals were accepted. The notice also makes clear that individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorship organizations were not eligible to compete for or receive awards under this program. The specific types of eligible organizations beyond that were referenced as "Others," with clarification expected in the full eligibility section of the announcement, but the key practical takeaway is that eligibility was controlled through the earlier pre-application screening process.
For applicants seeking more details at the time, HUD pointed to an additional information page on the HUD grants portal, and provided a program contact for access issues: J. Kofi Berko (J.Kofi.Berko@hud.gov) in HUD Grants Policy. Overall, the opportunity was designed to build stronger technical evidence and improved tools for identifying and mitigating health and safety risks in housing, supporting HUD's broader healthy homes goals through targeted studies that could translate into better standards, practices, and interventions.
