Each year, HUD’s Office of Policy Development and Research (PD&R) awards funding through Notices of Funding Opportunities (NOFOs). This page provides information on current and past PD&R NOFOs and notices, relevant The Edge articles, and ongoing projects.

HBCU Cooperative Research in Housing Technologies (Tennessee State University)
Tennessee State University was recently awarded a cooperative agreement designated for Historically Black Colleges and Universities for research in homebuilding innovations or research related to how housing technology/built environment interacts with social determinants of health and well-being. HUD invited applications from a wide range of academic disciplines, such as engineering, architecture, urban planning, sociology, public policy, law, business, etc. HUD will provide additional information as the project progresses.
Historically Black College and University Center of Excellence (Texas Southern University)
The Texas Southern University (TSU) proposes to establish a Center of Excellence—here forward known as the Center for Housing and Community Development Research (CHCDR)—that will advance transdisciplinary academic and empirical research and debate on affordable housing and community development policy for racial equity benefiting low-income communities of color in the six major Texas cities (Austin, Dallas, El Paso, Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio). Focusing on low-income households and underserved communities of color, CHCDR faculty will carry out research projects that emphasize the relationship between housing policies and programs under the following three thematic and interconnected areas: 1) housing stability or security, 2) individual or community wealth building; and 3) planning and infrastructure.
Historically Black College and University Center of Excellence (Howard University)
By establishing the HBCU Research Center of Excellence (COE), Howard University sets a goal of achieving an equitable and inclusionary society where currently-underserved populations come to be properly served and inequities in housing, health, education, economic well-being, and community development are overcome through policy implementation. The underlying problems that block this goal include the mutually-reinforcing historic and current processes that led and continue to lead to disparate outcomes for underserved populations. Four interacting factors emerge: Housing, Health, Built Environment, and Voice.
