HOPE VI Data Compilation and Analysis PD&R Research Partnerships PD&R Research Partnerships Partnering With Universities, Philanthropic Organizations, Other Federal or State Agencies for Innovative Research Projects That Inform HUD’s Policies and Programs HUD’s Office of Policy Development and Research (PD&R) has authority to enter into unsolicited research partnerships with universities, philanthropic organizations, other federal or state agencies, or a combination of these entities through noncompetitive cooperative agreements. The purpose of these partnerships is to allow PD&R to participate in innovative research projects that inform HUD’s policies and programs. Research partnerships require that at least 50 percent of the costs are funded by the partnering agency. PD&R is focusing its cooperative agreement efforts on research partnerships that will advance one of the following five key areas: 1. Homeownership and housing finance; 2. Affordable rental housing; 3. Housing as a platform for improving quality of life; 4. Sustainable and inclusive communities; or 5. HUD assets.
