Opportunity Summary:
The Lead Technical Studies Program (Funding Opportunity Number FR-5415-13B) is a discretionary HUD grant offered through a cooperative agreement to support applied research and technical studies that improve how lead-based paint hazards are identified, evaluated, and controlled in housing. The program is designed to build practical knowledge that can make lead hazard control work more effective in real-world settings and, just as importantly, more cost-efficient. While the title focuses on lead, the broader framing ties the work to housing-related health and safety hazards more generally, aligning the effort with HUDs larger policy aim of using housing as a platform to improve health outcomes and quality of life for residents of HUD-assisted and HUD-regulated housing. In other words, the opportunity is meant to generate evidence and better methods that can be translated into improved standards, practices, and strategies that reduce exposure risks, strengthen healthy housing conditions, and support sustainable, healthy communities.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically implies that HUD expects to have an ongoing role during the project, such as providing technical input, coordinating on study design considerations, or helping ensure the work products are usable for policy and program purposes. The total estimated funding available under this announcement is $1,000,000, with an expectation of making about four awards. Individual awards are anticipated to range from $250,000 (award floor) to $500,000 (award ceiling). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for eligible organizations that may not have non-federal funds available to contribute to the project.
Eligible applicants include a fairly wide set of U.S.-based entities: academic institutions and nonprofit organizations located in the United States, state governments, local governments, and federally recognized Native American tribes. For-profit firms are also eligible with a key restriction: they may participate but are not permitted to earn a profit from the grant, meaning the award can support allowable project costs but not generate profit margin. The program also allows applications that supplement existing projects to compete alongside proposals for entirely new work, which opens the door to expanding or extending studies already underway if the additional work clearly fits the programs goals. Federal agencies and individuals are explicitly ineligible to apply. Like many HUD competitions, applicants must also meet threshold requirements described in the General Section of the full announcement in order to be considered for an award.
The opportunity was posted and created on September 22, 2010, with an original and final application closing date of November 8, 2010, and an archive date of November 14, 2010. The CFDA number associated with this program is 14.902 (Lead Technical Studies Grants). For access to the official application package and instructions, the announcement directs applicants to download materials using the CFDA number only. The program office contact listed for assistance, particularly if there are issues accessing the announcement electronically, is Dr. Peter Ashley at HUDs Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control, reachable at (202) 402-7595.
