Abstract: Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Office of Policy Development and Research (PD&R) intends to establish cooperative agreements with qualified for-profit and nonprofit research organizations and universities to conduct research, demonstrations, and data analysis. HUD will issue a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) describing the cooperative research program and the criteria for applying for awards. HUD’s Office of Policy Development and Research is authorized to conduct Housing and Community Development research through its authorizing legislation. The statutory authority for PD&R' s research activities is found in Title V of the 1970 Housing Act, which authorizes programs of "research, studies, testing, and demonstrations relating to the missions and programs of the Department." This authority is codified in the U.S. Code at 12 U.S.C. 1701z -1. The HUD Research, Evaluation, and Demonstration cooperative agreement program (HUDRD) will be established through a NOFO and will support achievement of goals and the use of strategies that were established in the HUD’s Research Roadmap. The Roadmap involved broad stakeholder engagement, and HUDRD will sustain and extend this collaboration to address mutual research objectives. Successful applicants will carry out HUDRD research activities with PD&R’s engagement. These activities will be of three main types: research and evaluation, program demonstrations, and data analysis and metrics. HUDRD will be used as HUD’s primary tool to undertake comprehensive evaluations and demonstration to evaluate program performance and support carefully designed experiments and quasi-experimental studies to measure the impact of current and potential programs and policies.
