Lead Technical Studies and Healthy Homes Technical Studies
FR-5415-N-13
The overall goal of both the Lead and the Healthy Homes Technical Studies programs is to gain knowledge to improve the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of methods for evaluation and control of lead-based paint and other housing related health and safety hazards. This also supports HUD’s Strategic Goal to utilize housing as a platform for improving the quality of life and health outcomes for those living in HUD-assisted and HUD-regulated housing, and the associated policy priority to build inclusive and sustainable communities by improving the health of community residents while reducing the impact of communities on the environment.
The purpose of this program is to fund technical studies to improve existing methods for detecting and controlling lead-based paint and other housing-related health and safety hazards; to develop new methods to detect and control these hazards; and to improve our knowledge of lead-based paint and other housing-related health and safety hazards.
HUD anticipates that approximately $7 million will be available Of this, approximately $1 million is for Lead Technical Studies and approximately $6 million is for Healthy Homes Technical Studies under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2010 (P.L. 111-117; approved December 16, 2009).
Approximately 2 to 4 awards will be made for the Lead Technical Studies Program, ranging from approximately $250,000 to a maximum of $500,000 each. Approximately 6 to 10 awards will be made for the Healthy Homes Technical Studies Program, ranging from approximately $300,000 to a maximum of $1,000,000 each.
UIC is restricted to one application.
