Alternative Methods For Calculating Fair Market Rents (FMRs) in Rental Markets With Rapidly Rising Rents

Limited Submissions

Through this NOFA, HUD is announcing the availability of $500,000 for a study of alternative methods for calculating Fair Market Rents (FMRs) in rental markets with rapidly rising rents. HUD is soliciting proposals for research that will accomplish the following:

 

1. Define “rental markets with rapidly rising rents”

2. Identify alternative calculations to generate FMRs that more closely track market conditions in rapidly rising rental markets than current methods. This may include, but is not limited to, alternative sources of gross rent data and/or alternative calculation methodologies using existing data.

Application Instructions

Please submit:

  1. a one-page letter of intent with a description of proposed aims and approach
  2. CV (not NIH format)  of the PI

 

to research@uw.edu by 5:00 PM Friday July 10, 2020. Proposals are due to the 7/27/20, so you will need to have your materials in to the Office of Sponsored Programs by 7/16/20 for processing, if given the go ahead by the Proposal Review Committee.
