Opportunity Summary:
The Healthy Homes Technical Studies Program (Funding Opportunity Number FR-5700-N-12) is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under CFDA 14.906. Its core purpose is to support technical studies that strengthen the science and practice behind identifying, evaluating, and reducing housing-related health and safety hazards. In practical terms, HUD is looking to fund projects that either improve existing detection and control methods, develop new and better techniques for detecting and mitigating hazards, or expand what is known about major health and safety risks found in homes. The larger aim is to generate knowledge that makes hazard evaluation and control both more effective and more cost-efficient, so that limited resources can produce bigger, more reliable health and safety gains.
The program is also positioned as part of HUDs broader policy agenda that treats housing as a platform for better health outcomes, especially for residents living in HUD-assisted or HUD-regulated housing. By investing in technical research and applied study, the program supports HUDs strategic goal of improving quality of life and health outcomes through housing interventions. It also aligns with the policy priority of building inclusive, sustainable communities by improving resident health while also reducing environmental impacts, which implies an interest in solutions that are not only medically meaningful but also practical, scalable, and environmentally responsible.
Awards under this competition were expected to fall between $300,000 (award floor) and $750,000 (award ceiling), with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is Housing, reflecting the programs emphasis on housing-based interventions and building-level hazards rather than purely clinical or healthcare delivery research.
Eligibility is fairly broad across public, nonprofit, and academic sectors in the United States. Eligible applicants include academic institutions and nonprofit organizations located in the U.S., state governments, units of local government, and federally recognized Native American tribes. For-profit firms may apply as well, but they are not allowed to earn a profit from the grant, which signals that HUD expects the work to be carried out on a cost-reimbursement or similar basis rather than as a revenue-generating contract. The notice also allowed applications that supplement existing projects to compete alongside proposals for new work, which can be helpful for teams that already have ongoing studies and want to extend them into a more targeted technical direction.
There are several key restrictions applicants needed to note. Federal agencies and individuals were not eligible to apply. In addition, if an organization received an award under the FY2012 Healthy Homes Technical Studies Grant Program, it could not apply in this FY2013 cycle unless it proposed a different Principal Investigator, a rule that appears designed to broaden participation and avoid repeated awards to the same project leadership. HUD also referenced threshold requirements contained in the 2013 General Section, meaning applicants had to meet baseline administrative and eligibility standards beyond the program-specific criteria.
From a timeline standpoint, the opportunity was posted and created on January 15, 2013, with an original and current closing date of March 19, 2013, and an archive date of March 25, 2013. HUD noted that it could issue a technical correction to the Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) if appropriations or internal decisions required changes to funding criteria, application requirements, estimated award amounts, or timelines. If such a correction were issued, HUD indicated it would provide instructions allowing applicants to resubmit updated applications to address the revised requirements.
Applicants were directed to obtain the application package using the CFDA number only, and HUD provided points of contact for both program and grants management questions. Programmatic questions could be directed to Dr. Peter Ashley (202-402-7595), while grants administrative questions could be directed to Ms. Nadine Heath (202-402-7680).
