Request for Proposals: Competition to Conduct Analysis of HUD’s Randomized Evaluation Data Moving to Opportunity and Family Options Studies
HUD is now accepting proposals for its annual competition for access to HUD randomized experiment data. Successful applicants will gain access to data from two of the most significant randomized social experiments ever conducted, the Moving to Opportunity for Fair Housing (MTO) demonstration and the Family Options Study (FOS). HUD has partnered with the U.S. Census Bureau to make the experimental data more readily available to qualified researchers and more readily able to be linked with other administrative data.
Proposals will be reviewed and accepted on a rolling basis. However, 10-20 submissions are expected for this award, and because of limited capacity to provide individualized services to research teams, researchers are encouraged to submit proposals early. Special attention will be given to applicants that take advantage of the experimental design of the studies and that propose to bring in outside data to be linked with Census and/or HUD data.
Please submit your proposal to ERD.DataLinkage@Census.gov.
