PD&R Research Partnerships

 

HUD is excited to announce Research Partnerships, a new platform for the Department to engage with researchers, philanthropy, and other organizations leading innovative housing and community development research. Through these partnerships, HUD’s Office of Policy Development and Research (PD&R) can support research that informs HUD policies and programs, leveraging the expertise and resources of individuals and entities outside of HUD. You can read more about the Research Partnerships at http://www.huduser.org/portal/research/pdrrespartnerships.html. 

 

In 2012, PD&R is focusing its involvement in research partnerships on projects that that advance one of four research priorities: 1) gleaning knowledge from HUD demonstrations, 2) better understanding how housing is a platform that improves a person’s quality of life, 3) increasing use of American Housing Survey data, and 4) making improvements to the state of housing technology. PD&R will use its newly-enacted cooperative agreement authority to partner with researchers on projects that align with one of these four research priorities and that demonstrate substantial cost-sharing.
