2020 HBCU Cooperative Research in Housing Technologies
HUD is funding co-operative agreements for pre-competitive research in homebuilding technologies that provide the homebuilding industry with new, innovative construction products or practices that lead to more affordable, energy efficient, resilient (in this sense, durable, disaster resistant, adaptable for future requirements, and maintainable), and healthier housing. HUD is specifically interested in receiving applications that focus on aspects of residential construction related to factory-built housing and components and/or resilience.
