Announcement of Funding Awards for Fiscal Year 2001 Research and Technology Unsolicited Proposals

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Policy Development and Research, HUD.

ACTION: Announcement of funding awards.

SUMMARY: In accordance with section 102(a)(4)(C) of the Department of Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989, this document notifies the public of funding awards for Fiscal Year 2001 Research and Technology unsolicited proposals. The purpose of this document is to announce the names and addresses of the organizations that have been awarded cooperative agreements based on their submission of unsolicited proposals for research funding.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Patrick J. Tewey, Director, Budget, Contracts and Program Control Division, Office of Policy Development and Research, Room 8230, 451 7th Street, SW, Washington, DC 20410, telephone (202) 708-1796, extension 4098. To provide service for persons who are hearing-or-speech-impaired, this number may be reached via TTY by dialing the Federal Information Relay Service on 1-800-877- TTY, 1-800-877-8339, or 202-708-1455. (Telephone number, other than ``800'' TTY numbers are not toll free.)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The VA/HUD and Independent Agencies Appropriation Act of 2001 (Pub. L. 106-377) provided $53,000,000 in Research and Technology funds for contracts, grants and necessary expenses of programs and studies relating to housing and urban problems. A rescission of .22 percent was enacted on December 21, 2000 (Pub. L. 106-554) reducing the amount for Research and Technology funds to $52,883,400. The majority of HUD's Research and Technology funding is awarded through competitive solicitations. The unsolicited proposal is another method used by HUD to fund research and development. An unsolicited proposal is submitted to support an idea, method or approach by individuals and organizations solely on the proposer's initiative. Funding of unsolicted proposals is considered a noncompetitive action. An unsolicited proposal demonstrates a unique and innovative concept or a unique capability of the submitter, offers a concept or service not otherwise available to the Government and does not resemble the substance of a pending competitive action. All unsolicited proposals and the resulting award of cooperative agreements include substantial cost sharing on the part of the submitter/awardee.

The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance for this program is 14.506.

In accordance with section 102(a)(4)(C) of the Department of Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 (103 Stat. 1987, 42 U.S.C. 3545), the Department is publishing details concerning the recipients of funding awards, as follows:
