SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The EDSRG Program provides funds to eligible

stages of their doctoral studies, have 12 months to complete a major 
research study. The maximum amount to be awarded to a doctoral student 
is $15,000.
    The Office of University Partnerships under the Assistant Secretary 
for Policy Development and Research (PD&R) administers this program. In 
addition to this program, the Office of University Partnerships 
administers HUD's ongoing grant programs to institutions of higher

universities can bring their traditional missions of teaching, 
research, service, and outreach to bear on the pressing local problems 
in their communities.

is 14.517. On May 12, 2008, (Vol. 73, No. 92) HUD published a Notice of 
Funding Availability (NOFA) announcing the availability of $100,000 in 
FY 2008 funds for the EDSRG Program. The Department reviewed, evaluated 
and scored the applications received based on the criteria in the NOFA. 
As a result, HUD has funded the applications announced below, and in 
accordance with Section 102(a)(4)(C) of the Department of Housing and 
Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 (103 Stat. 1987, U.S.C. 3545), the
