Opportunity Information: Apply for FR 6600 N 29B
The HUDRD - Wildfire Recovery and Resilience opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FR 6600 N 29B) is a discretionary research grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) focused on understanding how well federal disaster recovery dollars work after wildfire events. It offers up to $600,000 in total funding, with HUD expecting to make a single award, and it is issued as a cooperative agreement. The program sits in the Disaster Prevention and Relief activity area (CFDA/Assistance Listing 14.536), signaling that the funded work is intended to generate practical, policy-relevant evidence rather than just academic findings.
The central purpose of the funding is to study the effectiveness of disaster recovery assistance in the aftermath of wildfires, especially HUD disaster assistance delivered through the Community Development Block Grant - Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) and Community Development Block Grant - Mitigation (CDBG-MIT) programs. HUD is looking for research that helps communities turn recovery funding into stronger long-term resilience to future wildfire risk. A key emphasis is improving outcomes for low- and moderate-income people and neighborhoods, recognizing that these groups often face higher exposure, fewer resources to rebuild, and greater difficulty accessing and leveraging aid. The research is intended to build capacity by identifying what works, what does not, and what conditions or approaches lead to better resilience results when communities deploy disaster funds after wildfire.
HUD frames the need for this work around a clear trend: wildfires have become more frequent and more destructive in recent years, and HUD has responded by sharply increasing the amount of disaster assistance allocated for wildfire recovery and mitigation through CDBG-DR and CDBG-MIT. Because these investments are growing, HUD anticipates a strong need for credible evidence on effectiveness, implementation challenges, and strategies that help communities use funds in ways that reduce future risk and improve equitable recovery. In practice, this points to research that can inform program design, grantee decision-making, and on-the-ground implementation, including how to structure recovery investments so they do more than replace what was lost and instead meaningfully reduce future wildfire vulnerability.
Eligibility is broad and includes multiple types of entities that could credibly carry out applied research or evaluation. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city/township governments; special district governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; nonprofit organizations (both with and without 501(c)(3) status); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; and small businesses. This wide eligibility suggests HUD is open to universities, policy research organizations, consulting firms, and governmental or tribal entities with evaluation capacity, particularly those able to engage with disaster-affected communities and translate findings into actionable recommendations.
Key administrative details include an original posting/creation date of May 18, 2022, and an original application closing date of July 19, 2022, with the deadline listed as 11:59:59 PM Eastern Time. The award ceiling is $600,000, and the expected number of awards is one, which implies a competitive selection for a single lead project that can produce findings with broad relevance across wildfire-impacted regions and HUD disaster funding contexts.Apply for FR 6600 N 29B
