Opportunity Information: Apply for FR 6400 N 15
The Lead and Healthy Homes Technical Studies (LHHTS) Grant Program Pre- and Full Application opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FR 6400 N 15) is a discretionary funding program run by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). It is offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means awardees should expect meaningful involvement from HUD during the project period (for example, coordination on study design elements, data collection expectations, reporting, and dissemination of results), rather than a hands-off grant relationship.
The purpose of this opportunity is to support technical studies that strengthen the way housing-related health and safety hazards are understood, detected, and controlled. The program focuses on improving existing methods and also developing new methods for identifying and addressing key hazards in homes. In practical terms, this includes research and evaluation efforts that refine detection tools, testing protocols, or assessment approaches, as well as studies that test better ways to control or mitigate hazards once they are identified. A major emphasis is building stronger knowledge about these hazards and producing results that can be translated into better practice in real housing settings.
A second core component is implementation-focused work. Beyond developing or refining technical approaches, the program is also intended to identify ways to increase the effectiveness of proven interventions. That means the studies can look at how established hazard-reduction strategies perform in the field, what barriers reduce their impact, and what process improvements, targeting strategies, or delivery models can make them work better. The overall thrust is applied research that can improve outcomes for residents by making hazard detection more accurate and hazard control more effective.
Funding under this opportunity has an award ceiling of $1,000,000, and HUD anticipated making about 11 awards. The funding activity category is Housing, and the opportunity is associated with CFDA numbers 14.902 and 14.906, which are HUD assistance listings tied to healthy homes and lead hazard-related work.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of organizations that can conduct technical and implementation studies in housing. Eligible applicants include state, county, city/township, and special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education; Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) and tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments); public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education); and for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profits that are not small businesses). This wide eligibility reflects the program’s interest in supporting research capacity wherever it exists, including academia, government, housing entities, community-based organizations, and the private sector.
The opportunity was created on May 1, 2020, with an original closing date of June 15, 2020. The listed deadline time is 11:59:59 PM Eastern Standard Time. The title indicates a pre- and full-application structure, which commonly means applicants may need to submit an initial proposal or concept (pre-application) before being invited or permitted to submit a complete full application, though the exact steps and requirements would be governed by the official notice and application instructions.
In short, LHHTS is designed to fund targeted, practical studies that move the field forward on housing-related health and safety hazards by improving how hazards are detected and controlled, generating stronger technical evidence on key risks in homes, and testing real-world implementation strategies to make proven interventions deliver better, more consistent results.Apply for FR 6400 N 15
