Opportunity Summary:
The Healthy Homes Technical Studies Grant Program Pre and Full Application opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FR 6000 N 15) is a discretionary HUD funding competition designed to support technical studies focused on housing-related health and safety hazards. The central purpose is to generate practical, evidence-based improvements in how these hazards are identified and addressed in existing housing. This includes strengthening current detection and control methods, developing new tools or approaches for detecting and mitigating hazards, and expanding the overall knowledge base about the nature, prevalence, and impacts of key health and safety risks tied to residential environments. The funding is offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means HUD expects more active involvement than in a standard grant, such as collaboration, coordination, or ongoing technical engagement during the project period.
A key feature of this notice of funding availability is that it is structured as a two-step application process, and this posting is only requesting preliminary applications. Applicants first submit a preliminary application, which HUD scores. Only the applicants with the highest-scoring preliminary submissions will be invited to submit full applications at a later stage. The notice is explicit that full applications submitted in response to this NOFA will not be reviewed, meaning applicants should not skip ahead or submit a complete full proposal package unless they have been formally invited after the preliminary round.
The competition is open to a broad range of eligible applicants, reflecting HUDs intent to encourage participation from government, academia, nonprofits, and the private sector. Eligible entities include state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; Native American tribal organizations that are not federally recognized tribal governments; nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in those nonprofit categories); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; and small businesses. This wide eligibility suggests HUD is interested in funding applied research and technical work that can come from many institutional settings, including organizations with real-world implementation capacity as well as research capability.
In terms of funding scale and competitiveness, the award ceiling is listed at $700,000, with an expected number of approximately three awards. That combination indicates a relatively selective opportunity aimed at a limited set of substantial projects rather than a large number of small studies. The activity category is listed as Housing, and the CFDA number is 14.906, which aligns it with HUDs healthy homes and lead hazard related assistance portfolio.
Timing details show the opportunity was posted on April 28, 2016, with a closing date of June 1, 2016, for the preliminary application stage. Anyone evaluating the notice should treat that deadline as applying to preliminary submissions only, since full applications are by invitation after HUD completes scoring of the initial round.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as HUD seeking targeted, technically rigorous studies that can directly improve how housing-related hazards are detected and controlled. The practical outcome HUD appears to be aiming for is stronger methods and better knowledge that can be translated into healthier and safer living conditions, with the funding process intentionally designed to filter applications through a preliminary screening before inviting a small number of top candidates to submit full proposals.
