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 USC 1701z-1 and is attached as Appendix A. As funding is
available, the HUD Research, Evaluation, and Demonstration
cooperative agreement program (HUDRD) will be established through
the publication of individual NOFOs and will support research that
advances the priority research questions outlined in HUD’s Learning
Agenda . HUDRD includes HUD’s Research Partnerships program and
HUD’s Centers of Excellence initiative. The Learning Agenda draws
on input and support from practitioners, advocates, people with
lived experience in HUD programs, researchers, and policymakers at
the federal, state, and local levels. Through the Department's
extensive stakeholder engagement, the Learning Agenda articulates
critical, policy-relevant research questions that will inform how
HUD invests in evidence building over the next five years.
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 a mechanism to
undertake comprehensive evaluations and demonstrations to evaluate
program performance and support carefully designed experiments and
quasi-experimental studies to measure the impact of current and
potential programs and policies.

This ICR covers the post-award
materials that cooperative agreement recipients will be required to
submit to HUD over the course of the period of performance of their
awards. Pre-award materials submitted by applicants are not
included in this ICR because they are covered under HUD’s generic
clearance (OMB Control Number 2501-0044). Post-award materials
include a series of forms that already have an OMB Control Number
and are therefore not included in the burden calculation for this
ICR: • SF-425 (Federal Financial Report), OMB Control Number
4040-0014 • SF-LLL (Disclosure of Lobbying Activities), OMB Control
Number 4040-0013 • HUD-27061 (Race and Ethnic Data Reporting), OMB
Control Number 2535-0113 • HUD-2880 (Applicant/Recipient
Disclosure/Update Report), OMB Control Number 2501-0044 • HUD-424
CBW (Grant Application Detailed Budget Worksheet), OMB Control
Number 2501-0017
