Description (from the official listing)

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development"s Office of Policy Development and Research (PD&R) expects to release a Notice inviting eligible organizations to submit unsolicited research proposals focused on HUD"s current housing and community development research priorities. The goal of this Notice is to support independent, high-quality research that helps build reliable evidence and provides practical insights to inform housing policy and program decisions at the local, state, and Federal levels.Applicants will be expected to propose projects that align with the purpose of the program and at least one research category identified in the Notice. Projects must include matching funds equal to at least 50 percent of the total project cost, as required by statute. Awards are expected to be made as cooperative agreements, which means HUD will be actively involved throughout the project to help ensure the research is relevant, well designed, and aligned with Department priorities.PD&R expects to prioritize research on topics such as housing affordability, homelessness, industrialized housing production, Opportunity Zones, and outcomes related to work, family, and housing stability for households assisted by HUD. Other topics aligned with HUD"s Fiscal Year 2026 Annual Performance Plan and the Department"s 2026–2030 Strategic Plan may also be considered. Proposals must be original, developed independently by the applicant, and submitted as complete research plans that use strong and appropriate research methods consistent with the principles of Gold Standard Science.
