[Docket No. FR-4579-FA-10]


Announcement of Funding Awards for Fiscal Year 2000 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 2000 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

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 2000 (Pub. L. 106-74) provided $45,000,000 in 
Research and Technology funds for contracts, grants and necessary 
expenses of programs and studies relating to housing and urban 
problems. HUD's Office of Policy Development and Research administers 
the Research and Technology funds. 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 unsolicited 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
