Description
This funding opportunity from HUD's Office of Policy Development & Research (PD&R) aims to advance HUD's Learning Agenda by supporting research conducted by minority-serving institutions (MSIs). The goal is to fund high-quality research that addresses critical, policy-relevant questions related to housing and community development, particularly those that support HUD’s mission to create strong, sustainable, inclusive communities and provide quality, affordable homes for all.
Eligible institutions include Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs), Tribal Colleges and Universities, and Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian-Serving Institutions. The research must address one or more of the Eligible Research Questions outlined in the NOFO, which are derived from HUD’s Learning Agenda and informed by input from practitioners, advocates, people with lived experience, researchers, and policymakers.
Awards under this NOFO are cooperative agreements, meaning awardees will work closely with HUD experts throughout the project. This substantial involvement is intended to ensure the research is policy-relevant and impactful.
