HUD's FY09 NOFA General Section Released
On December 29, 2008, the Federal Register published HUD's FY09 Notice Of Funding Availability (NOFA) Policy Requirements and General Section for its discretionary programs. This notice provides prospective applicants for HUD’s competitive funding with the opportunity to become familiar with the General Section of HUD’s FY09 NOFAs, in advance of publication of any FY09 NOFAs.
This year, HUD plans to publish its NOFAs as they are approved for publication and not in a combined SuperNOFA.
HUD believes
that by making this change, the NOFAs will be available earlier in the fiscal year. To assist applicants in this transformation, HUD is publishing the anticipated schedule for release of HUD’s FY09 NOFAs in Appendix A.
The following release date information is provided in Appendix A on all OUP grant programs:
- February-April 2009:
- Doctoral Dissertation Research Grant / Early Doctoral Student Research Grant.
- March-May 2009:
- Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian Institutions Assisting Communities.
- Hispanic-Serving Institutions Assisting Communities.
- Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
- Tribal Colleges and Universities Program.
Please note that the information regarding NOFA programs and schedules is subject to the availability of appropriations. As HUD
receives appropriations, HUD may elect to amend the anticipated dates,
estimated funds available, and/or program requirements that may appear
in the published NOFAs to reflect HUD’s FY09 appropriations act, when
enacted by Congress. Any amendment to HUD published NOFAs will be made
available to the public through a Federal Register publication and
published on www.grants.gov.
Applicants are advised to become familiar with the requirements of this General Section, particularly with applicant Grants.gov registration requirements and submission instructions. Submission instructions must be adhered to in order to have a successful submission. Applicants are also advised to provide copies of the
General Section to all persons that will be working on the application.
