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

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
