Opportunity Information: Apply for FR 6500 N 15
The Lead and Healthy Homes Technical Studies (LHHTS) Grant Program Pre- and Full Application is a discretionary funding opportunity from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) designed to support research and technical studies that strengthen what HUD and the public know about health and safety hazards found in housing. The central emphasis is on lead-based paint and lead exposure risks, but the program also targets other major residential health and safety hazards that fall under the broader "healthy homes" umbrella. The intent is practical as well as scientific: HUD is looking for studies that do not just describe problems, but that improve how hazards are identified, assessed, and controlled in real-world housing conditions.
A key theme in this opportunity is closing important gaps in the science behind hazard detection and mitigation. HUD is explicitly interested in proposals that make hazard identification more accurate and more efficient, and that move the field toward mitigation strategies that are cost-effective and workable at scale. In other words, the program is oriented toward applied research that can translate into better standards, better tools, and better practices for identifying housing-related environmental dangers and reducing them in ways that communities and housing providers can actually sustain.
Another major focus is implementation science, meaning the study of what it takes to successfully and consistently deliver interventions in real settings over time. HUD signals strong interest in research that examines the specific conditions where proven residential environmental hazard interventions work best, especially in targeted housing types and residential environments. This includes understanding what makes interventions more efficient, what increases their effectiveness, what barriers prevent uptake, and what operational or contextual factors make interventions durable rather than one-time improvements. The overall goal is to generate evidence that helps interventions stick, expand, and keep producing health benefits long after a pilot ends.
From an administrative standpoint, this funding is offered as a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates that HUD expects to have substantial involvement during the period of performance compared with a more hands-off grant. The funding activity category is Housing, and the opportunity is tied to CFDA numbers 14.902 and 14.906, reflecting HUD program authorities associated with lead hazard control and healthy homes-related work.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of public, nonprofit, academic, and private-sector entities. Eligible applicants include state, county, city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) as well as other tribal organizations; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education in the nonprofit category listing); for-profit organizations (other than small businesses); and small businesses. This wide eligibility suggests HUD wants a diverse pipeline of applicants, from universities and labs to housing agencies and mission-driven organizations that can test and validate solutions across different housing markets and community contexts.
In terms of funding scale, the listed award ceiling is $1,000,000 per award, and HUD anticipated making about 13 awards under this competition. The opportunity was posted with a creation date of May 20, 2021, and an original closing date of June 21, 2021, with the application deadline stated as 11:59:59 PM Eastern time. The full opportunity is identified as "Lead and Healthy Homes Technical Studies (LHHTS) Grant Program Pre- and Full Application" under Funding Opportunity Number FR 6500 N 15.
Overall, LHHTS is structured for applicants proposing rigorous, outcomes-oriented studies that can improve hazard assessment methods, refine mitigation practices, and strengthen the evidence base on what works, where it works, and why it works in housing environments. The program priorities point toward research that can be put into practice by housing and public health stakeholders, ultimately reducing exposure to lead and other in-home hazards while improving health and safety outcomes for residents.Apply for FR 6500 N 15
