Summary

The Secretary can give grants or sign contracts with colleges and universities to help plan, build, improve, or run programs for training graduate or professional students in city and regional planning and management, housing, and urban affairs. The money can also pay for research or projects that try out better ways to teach those fields. Grants can cover all or part of a program’s costs. A school must apply to the Secretary when and how he says. The application must describe the program or research, explain how the school will protect and account for the federal money, and promise to make reports, keep records, and allow checks to confirm the reports. With the Secretary’s rules and the approved application, grant funds may pay part of the wages of students working in these professions, but not students employed by any branch of the U.S. Government.
