1962, as amended through October 24, 1968, Title 1, section 102

(6); 42 U.S.C. 2571 et seq. OBJECTIVES: To develop through actual project operation, new ideas

and improved techniques and to demonstrate the effectiveness of specialized methods in meeting the manpower, employment, and

training problems of particularly disadvantaged worker groups. TYPES OF ASSISTANCE: Project Grants. USES AND USE RESTRICTIONS: Service is not the primary function

of E&D projects, although the demonstration population participating in them receives services specific to the project design. Projects focus on distinctive manpower or employment problems which are not being met effectively by established manpower service programs and try to determine how to meet such problems through new techniques. Funds can be used to finance all operating costs required by specified project designs (such as administrative costs, training, counseling, recruiting, job development, and placement).

E&D funds are concentrated on developing new techniques which might significantly guide overall manpower policy and programming. They are not available to extend methods developed in some areas to additional cities or groups, to finance training or other projects to meet needs in a particular area or occupation (even though such projects might have distinctive elements and be useful for the particular area), or to make up for what essentially are inadequacies in the level of resources available for manpower

programs. ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS: Applicant Eligibility: Organizations and individuals capable of

fulfilling the objectives of the programs. There are no formal guidelines or conditions contracting bodies must meet other than that they have demonstrated financial responsibility and

competence to fulfill the terms of the contract. Beneficiary Eligibility: Eligibility for participation in experimental

and demonstration projects is determined by the specific design of each project; this is a function of the objectives of the project and

the characteristics of the target group. Credentials/Documentation: See applicant eligibility and beneficiary

eligibility.
