U.S. territory or possession are eligible to apply. Applications to supplement existing projects are eligible to compete with applications for new awards. However, organizations that apply and use the same Principal Investigator (PI) that is identified on any active LHHTS grants must demonstrate that the time to be spent in the new grant and any other LHHTS grants is not above 100% full time equivalent. If supported by the majority of the Application Review Panel, HUD will make an award of up to $800,000 under the LTS Grant Program or up to $1,000,000 under the HHTS Grant Program for the highest scoring application from a qualified new applicant, as defined here, on the condition that the application receives a score of at least 79 points. A new applicant is an organization that has not been previously funded by the Office of Lead Hazard Control and Healthy Homes (OLHCHH) under the Technical Studies Grant Program to which they are applying as the primary grantee. A new applicant may have previously been a sub-grantee under an award to another organization. If there is not a qualified new applicant for funding, any remaining funds will be made available to the general pool of qualified LHHTS Grant Program applicants based on the final overall ranking. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorship organizations are not eligible to compete for, or receive, awards made under this announcement.

## What the grant funds

HUD is funding studies to improve knowledge of housing-related health and safety hazards and to improve or develop new hazard assessment and control methods, with a focus on lead and other key residential health and safety hazards. HUD is especially interested in applications that will advance our knowledge of priority healthy homes issues by addressing important gaps in science related to the accurate and efficient identification of hazards and the implementation of cost-effective hazard mitigation. This includes studies using implementation sciences in identifying specific conditions under which residential environmental hazard interventions, that have been shown to be effective in specific housing types and residential settings, can be assessed in other contexts.
