Opportunity Information: Apply for FR 6500 N 55
The HBCU Cooperative Research in Housing Technologies opportunity is a HUD discretionary funding program that supports Historically Black Colleges and Universities through cooperative agreements to carry out pre-competitive research on homebuilding innovations and housing technologies. The focus is on practical, policy-relevant research tied to the built environment, including how housing conditions and community design connect to social determinants of health and overall well-being. Because the work is intended to be pre-competitive and broadly useful, applicants are expected to avoid submitting trade secrets or other confidential material, while still describing any proposed technology or approach in enough technical detail for HUD to assess feasibility, rigor, and potential impact.
HUD is looking for proposals across a wide range of built-environment topics rather than a narrow, prescriptive list. Suggested areas include research on building codes and standards, construction methods and technologies (including factory-built housing and modular components), land use planning and related housing issues, green construction and energy efficiency strategies, disaster preparedness and resilient construction practices, and housing and community planning that better serves people across different ages, income levels, and accessibility needs. In other words, the program is open to both technical building science work and planning or community-oriented research, as long as the work clearly relates to housing technology, the built environment, and outcomes for residents and communities.
Funded activities emphasize the full research and evaluation lifecycle. Applicants are expected to define clear research questions, develop appropriate testing methods and evaluation designs, collect and analyze data, and then translate results into usable outputs. HUD highlights communication of findings as part of the core work, including producing informational tools, resources, and other products that can improve real-world practice and inform policy decisions. The cooperative agreement structure also signals that HUD expects active involvement and collaboration during the project period, rather than a hands-off grant relationship.
