US Department of Housing & Urban Development Research Grants - Feb 4 & Feb 11 Deadlines

[Announcement from CBPR listserv]

Dear CBPR colleagues,

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD's) Office of Policy Development and Research (PD&R) has announced two research grant opportunities with Feb deadlines.  Details are posted at http://bit.ly/hgkCUG

Sustainable Communities Research Grant Program. PD&R is sponsoring a grant program devoted to sustainability research and welcomes applications in the areas of affordable housing preservation, integrated housing and transportation planning, healthy community design, and other topics on sustainability. Applicants may request a minimum of $150,000, up to $500,000 for an award.

The application deadline for this program is February 4, 2011.

Homeless Families Demonstration Small Grant Research Program. PD&R is also announcing the availability of approximately $150,000 in grant funding to support research activities that will build off of HUDs newly launched study of The Impact of Housing and Services Interventions on Homeless Families, which is designed to provide critical information regarding outcomes for homeless families that are provided with different packages of housing and supportive services in an effort to identify "what works best for whom." Cooperative agreements in an amount up to $75,000 will be competitively awarded to researchers who propose innovative and substantive studies that will complement the existing research design, and will be rated on the policy relevance, contribution, and technical merit of the proposed research.

The application deadline for this program is February 18, 2011.

Thanks,

Rahma Osman
Program Assistant
