Analysis of FY-1986 310 Projects.
Parker, James T.
The Fiscal Year-1986 310 catalog includes more than 350 projects funded under Section 310 of the Adult Education Act, with a total investment of almost $8 million. Analysis of 310 project information submitted by states came to the following conclusions, among others: (1) staff development is the highest priority for 310 projects, nationally (32 percent of document funds); (2) employability projects show a dramatic decrease in support compared to last year; (3) "other" organizations receive the largest amount of funds; (4) many projects gave no data to information-gathering efforts; (5) the funding of adoptions and adaptions of previously developed innovations continues, although the validity of the claims of innovation is not known; (6) the average cost of 310 projects is $22,000; (7) more than 100 projects are funded at $5,000 or less, and an additional 84 received no more than $10,000; (8) little attention is being paid to dissemination of project results, perhaps because of underfunding. (This paper contains a summary of the 310 projects by geographic areas, types of organizations involved, and subjects of projects.) (KC)
