HUDâs 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 HUDâs Learning Agenda . HUDRD includes HUDâs Research Partnerships program and HUDâs 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&Râs 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 HUDâs 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
