This article introduces the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as a potential funding source for social work doctoral students. HUD's two doctoral research grant programs (i.e., the Early Doctoral Students Research Grant and the Doctoral Dissertation Research Grant) are nontraditional, largely untapped funding sources for social work doctoral students. The author provides an overview of both programs, describes the application requirements, the selection criteria, and the review process. Based on her experience as a social work student awarded both an Early Doctoral Students Research Grant and a Doctoral Dissertation Research Grant, the author provides tips, advice, and examples for preparing a strong application.

Participant observation supplemented by case study material on the activities of a federal research and program evaluation office are described. The focus is how organizational imperatives and government rules for research dominate in-house evaluations of government sponsored programs. The authors suggest that organizational imperatives give rise to a research orientation that promotes the use of inappropriate research methodologies, collection of inadequate data sets, and expedient program evaluations. The authors conclude that creation of research reports based on the gathering of data may be overshadowed by an inappropriate characterization of some government sponsored social service programs. Suggestions for amelioration of such problems, as these relate to the organizational position of the evaluation research office, are provided.
