Under the reorganization, the Division of Research and Demonstration Grants was enlarged and now consists of four branches - Rehabilitation Research Branch, Cooperative Research Grants Branch, Demonstration Grants Branch, and Research Utilization Branch. The projects presented in this book are research and demonstrations authorized by the 1954 Amendments to the Vocational Rehabilitation Act and administered by the Rehabilitation Research Branch (Part I), and projects authorized by Title XI, Section 1110 of the Social Security Act, as Amended, and administered by the Cooperative Research Grants Branch (Part II). Background Inf ormaticm The research and demonstration program administered by the Rehabilitation Research Branch, Division of Research and Demonstration Grants, Social and Rehabilitation Service, was authorized by Section 4a(1) of the 1954 Amendments to the Vocational Rehabilitation Act. Grants are awarded to public and private nonprofit agencies in partial support of research and demonstration projects which promise some unique contribution to present knowledge of rehabilitation theory or practice. The purposes of the program are: (a) the development of new or improved information, methods, and devices for use by the several disciplines in the rehabili- tation of physically or mentally handicapped individuals; (b) increasing he effectiveness of existing programs and stimulating community co- op6ration and support; and (c) providing new professional information and ideas to administrators to aid in developing and expanding programs for the handicapped. Project applications are reviewed by the National Advisory Council on Vocational Rehabilitation which advises the Administrator in making grant awards. The Cooperative Research and Demonstration Grants program was authorized in 1956 by Section 1110, Title XI, of the Social Security Act, as Amended. Grants are made to States, public and other nonprofit organizations to pay part of the costs of research and demonstration projects. The purpose of this program is to add to existing knowledge and to devise and evaluate new approaches to (a) the prevention and reduction of economic dependency; (b) the more effective organization, coordination and administration of social welfare and of social security programs; and (c) other problems related to the provision of medical and social service programs authorized by the Social Security Act. Detailed information about these programs may be obtained by writing to the Chief, Division of Research and Demonstration Grants, Social and Rehabilitation Service, Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, Washington, D. C. 20201. Annotated Listing The Social and Rehabilitation Service is pleased to present this fifth revision of the Annotated Listing which includes all projects approved since the inauguration of the rehabilitation research anddemonstration program in March 1955 to January1968 and for the First time a listing of the cooperative research and demonstration projects approvedfrom 1962 to March 1968. The Rehabilitation Research Projects are grouped into 21 sections as shown in Part I of the Table of Contents, In assigning a project to a section, priority has been given to the appropriate or relateddisability grouping (Sections I-XI); the remainder of the projects havebeen placed in one of the selected program areas (Sections XII-XXI). Selected Demonstration Projects are listed separately at the end of appropriate sections. These projects are demonstrations conforming to prototypes derived from successful demonstrations previouslysupported by the Vocational Rehabilitation Administration. They provided a means of putting into operation improved methods in many different parts of the country. These projects have now been discontinued as a part of the research and demonstration program and transferred to the State vocational rehabilitation programs. Projects are listed only once, in numerical order within eachsection- - there are no cross references. The following information is presented: name and address of the grantee, the projectdirector, and a brief description of the project purpose.In addition, there is a numerical series in parentheses which indicates first the number ofthe project- - recently approved projects are followed by a letter designating the general category in which the project falls, i.e., medical (M), psycho- social (P), sensory (S), or general (C).Indicated second is the fiscal year activated, and, third, the anticipated duration. For example: (2042-M-66-4) refers to project 'Lumber 2042 in the medical category which began operation in 1966 and is expected tobe active for four years.An asterisk follows the numerical series for those projects which have been completed.
