Opportunity Summary:
The Healthy Homes Technical Studies Grant Program Pre-Application (Funding Opportunity Number FR 5900 N 15) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) designed to support technical studies that strengthen how housing-related health and safety hazards are understood, detected, and controlled. The core purpose is research and applied technical work that improves existing tools and methods, develops new approaches where gaps exist, and expands the evidence base on the nature, sources, and impacts of key hazards found in homes. In practical terms, the program is aimed at producing better techniques, data, protocols, or interventions that can be used to reduce health risks associated with housing conditions, with an emphasis on solutions that can be translated into real-world practice.
Awards are expected to be made through cooperative agreements, meaning HUD typically maintains substantial involvement in the funded work compared with a standard grant. The opportunity anticipates approximately four awards, supported by an estimated total funding amount of $2,000,000. Individual awards are expected to fall within a range, with an award floor of $300,000 and a ceiling of $700,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which can make participation more feasible for applicants that do not have non-federal funds available to pair with the federal award.
Eligibility is broad and spans many organization types commonly involved in housing, public health, and research. Eligible applicants include state, county, city or township governments; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; independent school districts and special district governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education as well as private institutions of higher education; nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions where applicable); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; and small businesses. Even proposals that supplement existing projects may compete alongside proposals for new awards, which signals that HUD is open to either building on ongoing work or launching new studies, as long as the proposal fits the program goals.
There are several important limitations and threshold conditions. Federal agencies are not eligible to apply. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to compete for or receive awards under this announcement. The notice also references “threshold requirements†contained in HUD’s 2015 General Section, which applicants must meet to be considered for funding. Additionally, if an organization received an award under the FY2014 Healthy Homes Technical Studies Grant Program cycle, it cannot apply again under this FY2015 announcement unless it proposes a different Principal Investigator (PI), which is intended to broaden participation and leadership across projects.
The opportunity was posted on June 16, 2015, with an application due date of July 16, 2015. Applications had to be submitted electronically by 11:59:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date. The program was archived on August 15, 2015, indicating that the specific cycle is no longer open, though the summary is still useful for understanding the program’s structure and what HUD has funded through this line of work. The CFDA number associated with this program is 14.906 (Healthy Homes Technical Studies Grants), and the funding activity category is Housing.
