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.
The Community Outreach Partnership Centers Program provides funds
for: research activities which have practical application for solving
specific problems in designated communities and neighborhoods;
outreach, technical assistance and information exchange activities
which are designed to address specific problems associated with
housing, economic development, neighborhood revitalization,
infrastructure, health care, job training, education, crime prevention,
planning, and community organizing. On February 26, 2001 (66 FR 11725),
HUD published a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) announcing the
availability of $8 million in Fiscal Year 2001 funds for the Community
Outreach Partnership Centers Program. The Department reviewed,
evaluated and scored the applications received based on the criteria in
the NOFA. As a result, HUD has funded 16 applications for New Grants
and 8 applications for New Directions Grants. New Grants, which cannot
exceed $400,000, are for institutions of higher education just
