The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) plans to undertake cooperative research in the area of manufactured housing.

Areas of particular interest include developing a technology roadmap for the industry to address the goals of the partnership for Advancing Technoloogy in Housing (PATH), examining foundations, alternative materials, moisture, and energy efficiency. To date, we have received unsolicited proposals from the Manufactured Housing Research Alliance. This notice hereby announces HUD's interest in receiving other proposals for cooperative research from the manufactured housing community on research proposals which will satisfy one or more of the targeted areas discussed above. Proposals must be submitted by 4:30 p.m. EST, on August 7, 2001, to be accepted for review and to permit timely consideration.
