Reduction Act. The Department is

subject proposal.
The Department of Housing and

conducting an evaluation of four grant
programs funded through HUD’s Office
of University Partnerships (OUP). The
four OUP programs are: Historically
Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU);

Hispanic-Serving Institutions Assisting
Communities (HSIAC); Alaskan Native/
Native Hawaiian Institutions Assisting
Communities (ANNHIAC); and Tribal
Colleges and Universities Program
(TCUP). These programs were designed
to encourage and expand the growing
number of partnerships formed between
colleges and universities and their
communities. Program grants are used
to fund community development
activities in disadvantaged communities
and to encourage minority-serving
colleges and universities to contribute
their technical expertise, organizational
capacity, and resources to local
community development efforts.
There has been no prior evaluation of
the outcomes or impacts of activities
funded through OUP grants, which have
an average annual value of $25 million.
Therefore, this evaluation will be the
first to systematically document
program outcomes and to explore how
factors such as partnership structure or
the types of activities completed with
grant funds affect outcomes for OUP
grants. In addition, the study will help
the Office of University Partnerships
better understand the challenges that
grantees face in implementing grantfunded activities. The results of the
evaluation will assist the Department in
designing grant programs in the future.
This request is for data collection
through a web survey and telephone
interviews with 67 OUP grant
recipients. The web survey instrument
and telephone interview protocol are
provided in Appendices 5 and 6,
respectively. Together, the web survey
and telephone interviews will be used
to collect in-depth information about
the activities funded with OUP grants.
The web survey will be used to develop
a comprehensive list of activities
undertaken by grantees, and to
document the partners and additional
funding used to support OUP-funded
activities. The telephone interviews will
focus on two non-trivial activities per
grantee (an activity will be considered
non-trivial if more than 20 percent of
grant funds from a given OUP grant
were dedicated to it). The evaluation
team will use the telephone interviews
to collect more detailed information on
the goals, accomplishments, and
beneficiaries of the activities, as well as
the partnership structures used to
implement funded activities.
