The purpose of the HMIS-Technical Assistance and Research program is to provide technical assistance to achieve the highest level of performance and results for the implementation of Homeless Management Information Systems in each Continuum of Care, including operation and management of the software, and data collection and research for Annual Performance Reports and the Annual Homeless Assessment Report.

HUD has established a $750,000 award minimum for successful HMIS-TA applications.  Awards will be for a period of 36 months.

The full announcement can be accessed at:

Applicants may submit only one (1) application for HMIS-TA funds.

Because HUD allows an applicant to only submit one application, the University of Kentucky has established an internal selection process.  Individuals interested in submitting to this program are to submit the following materials electronically to the Office of the Vice President for Research at limitedsubmissions@uky.edu and a copy to their Associate Dean for Research by Thursday, May 2, 2013.

· Name and department of the Principal Investigator and other project personnel

· Project Overview (maximum 2 pages) – a) specify which of the five eligible activities the project will address (needs assessment, direct TA, materials/tools development, group learning delivery, HMIS Data Lab operation); and b) briefly describe the goals and objectives and how they will be achieved.

The Vice President for Research will appoint a committee to review this material and make recommendations.  The federal deadline is May 21, 2013.

Questions about the submission process may be sent to Ms. Annette Evans in the Office of the Vice President for Research (alevan4@email.uky.edu or 257-1663).
