Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Research and Evaluation, Demonstrations, and Data Analysis and Utilization" (Funding Opportunity Number FR-5800-N-26) is a discretionary funding competition from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), focused on supporting research, evaluation work, demonstration efforts, and the analysis and practical use of data tied to housing and community development policy. The funding is administered through HUD's Office of Policy Development and Research (PD&R) and is supported by the Transformation Initiative appropriations account using Fiscal Year 2013 and 2014 funds. Rather than a standard grant, awards are made through cooperative agreements, which typically means HUD expects a more active role in the project through collaboration, coordination, or ongoing involvement as the work progresses.

The notice makes available an estimated total of about $5.2 million (often referenced as up to $5.25 million across the covered fiscal years), with an expectation of approximately four awards. Individual awards range from a minimum (award floor) of $50,000 up to a maximum (award ceiling) of $2,175,000, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated. The activity category is listed as Housing, and the associated CFDA number is 14.536, which corresponds directly to research and evaluation and related analytical and demonstration activities.

Eligibility is intentionally broad and includes many types of organizations that can contribute research capacity, implementation experience, or data expertise. Eligible applicants include public or private nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) nonprofits and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status), intermediaries, institutions of higher education (public and private), small businesses, other for-profit organizations (excluding small business where separately listed), area-wide planning organizations, state governments, city or township governments, county governments, units of general local government, public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities, and Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) as well as other Native American tribal organizations. HUD also notes, consistent with federal faith-based initiative policies, that eligible faith-based and other community organizations are welcome to participate. At the same time, the NOFA clearly excludes individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from eligibility.

The NOFA includes an important application participation rule designed to prevent conflicts and overlapping roles within the same project competition. An organization may submit one application for each of the five projects made available under the announcement, and subcontractors or consultants are allowed to appear across multiple applications. However, for any single project, an organization cannot both apply as the prime applicant and simultaneously appear as a subcontractor or consultant on another application competing for that same project. HUD states it will not consider an application for a given project if the applicant organization or its staff are listed as subcontractors or consultants on another application for that same project. In practice, that means teams need to coordinate carefully and make clear decisions about who is the prime and who is supporting, project by project, to avoid disqualification.

Key dates in the posting indicate the opportunity was posted March 16, 2015, with an original closing date of April 30, 2015, later extended to a current closing date of May 14, 2015. Applications had to be submitted electronically by 11:59:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The archive date is listed as August 1, 2015, meaning the competition is no longer active but remains available for reference. For applicants needing the full announcement or program details, HUD provided an additional information link through its grants/funds available portal and listed a point of contact for access issues: Sherone E. Ivey (Sherone.E.Ivey@HUD.GOV) in HUD Grants Policy.
