Federal grants and contracts
They bring in money and jobs
Besides providing services for their constituents, members of Congress also try to bring federal government projects and money to their districts and states. Lawmakers do this in three ways: (l) through pork-barrel legislation; (2) through winning federal grants and contracts; and (3) through keeping federal projects.
They bring in money and jobs
There are different kinds of grants. Available grants means the eligibility of each person for different grants. There is need-based grans, merit-based grants, talent-based grants and Project-based grants.
The term used when federal funds are allocated to states or districts in the form of project grants or contracts is called earmarking. Earmarking allows specific funds to be designated for a particular purpose or project in a specific region, as determined by the federal government.
