FY 2000 DOCTORAL DISSERTATION RESEARCH GRANT PROGRAM ANNOUNCED

HUD's Office of University Partnerships, located in the Office of Policy
Development and Research, will competitively award up to 15 grants to
eligible doctoral candidates of accredited schools of higher education to
complete their research and dissertations on housing and urban development
issues. Grants will be in the amount of $15,000 each, awarded on a one-time
basis, and will not be restricted in their use as long as they support the
timely completion of the dissertation.  Applications for the current year of
funding are due by Wednesday, January 19, 2000.  Award announcements will be
made by March 19, 2000.

The dissertation grant program is intended to encourage doctoral candidates
to engage in policy-relevant community, housing, and urban development
research, assist doctoral candidates in the timely completion of their
dissertation research, focus research on policy-relevant housing and
community development issues facing the country, and provide a forum for new
scholars to share their research findings.

Research based on relationships between universities, communities,
distressed public housing developments, public schools, municipal agencies,
and community-based organizations is encouraged.
