Grant proposals are complex documents that can be dif-
ficult to write, and two of the most difficult parts are the
Statement of Need(s) and the concomitant Goal(s). One of
the most common reasons a grant proposal is rejected is
that the “[a]pplicant did not adequately define the need(s)
to be addressed by the proposal.”1 The statement of need(s)
must be precise and appropriate for funding to be attained.
Many writers experience problems with stating the real
need; instead, they describe superficial wants or items
related to meeting the need. In contrast, some writers have a
good understanding of the real need, but they state the goal
of their research or project in terms that are too vague to res-
onate with a grant-making agency. This article suggests two
prewriting exercises to help writers overcome these prob-
lems: logical mapping and a six-step method for articulat-
ing the goal. Logical mapping can help writers identify real
needs and clarify why they should be addressed; mapping
can also pinpoint the causes that a solution must address.
The six-step method can change vague claims about what
a solution-implementation project or research endeavor
will accomplish into clear, specific statements of the goal(s).
These two exercises are applicable to education and small
foundation grants; for more complicated grant proposals,
like those to the National Institutes of Health, these exercises
are useful but not necessarily sufficient.
It is always important to follow all instructions given in
the request for proposals (RFP) and to respond using key
words that reflect the values of the funding source. Many
proposals with great ideas are rejected because they fail
to follow all RFP guidelines. The RFP typically provides
explicit instructions about what information is needed in
which sections of a proposal; how to format that informa-
tion; and when, where, and how to submit the proposal.
RFPs give detailed requirements for font styles and sizes,
document length, due dates, and the types of projects that
can be funded for each specific grant. Sloppy formatting or
grammar and spelling errors will reflect poorly on the cred-
ibility of everyone involved with the project. Furthermore,
the “shotgun” method of proposal submission—sending a
proposal to several foundations or government agencies—
typically “results in high rates of rejection and negative posi-
tioning with funding sources.”2 Sending a proposal in this
manner, especially when some of the foundations or govern-
ment agencies have interests only marginally related to the
topic, not only garners rejection of that specific proposal,
it also reduces the credibility of the project team members
and their organization. Showing that good research has
gone into selecting potential funding sources as well as
developing the project will enhance credibility and help
persuade a reviewer that the ap.

How to Write an Outreach Grant
Proposal
By Karen M. Markin SEPTEMBER 15, 2006
Plenty of advice is available for scientists seeking research grants. But what if you are
looking for money to create an after-school science program or a training session for
nurses who work with an increasingly elderly population?
Writing a grant for community or "outreach" activities is different from writing a
research grant. In a scientific grant proposal, it is understood that researchers are
exploring new realms and cannot know exactly what they will encounter. That's the
definition of basic science, and delving into the unknown is what makes it exciting.
In contrast, an outreach grant proposal represents a road map for a project in which
the applicants know where they are going and how to get there, and anticipates bumps
in the road.
Foundations and agencies that support outreach programs want to see their money
make a difference. While the full significance of a physicist's new findings in
nonlinear dynamics may not be recognized for years, an outreach program is expected
to show results -- here and now. That could mean higher test scores for students or
increased fitness among the elderly. Whatever the target, you must provide evidence
that your approach can succeed.
Don't assume that outreach grants are limited to human activities. For example, the
National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration provides money for coral-
reef conservation projects as well as efforts to remove marine debris such as derelict
boats and abandoned crab pots. So faculty members from many disciplines have the
opportunity to seek grants for community activities.
If you are seeking money for such activities, it helps to know a little grant lingo when
you search in databases or in directories. Under "award type" or "type of support,"
select "service delivery," "program development," "demonstration program" or
"outreach."
In writing grant proposals, scientists are familiar with a format that includes the
project's significance with respect to existing knowledge, its objectives, perhaps some
preliminary data, and a research-design and methods section. A proposal for an
outreach project is similar but uses different terminology for the sections. It includes
five basic components: a description of the problem you want to deal with, what you
hope to achieve by tackling the problem, how you will approach the problem, who
will be in charge of which activities, and how you will measure your success.
Showing the Problem
Establishing the need for the work you propose is an essential first step. While a
scientific-research project usually doesn't have to identify practical applications for
the work, an outreach proposal must show the existence of a problem that needs to be
remedied. A strong "statement of need," as it is sometimes called in the application,
lists specific probl ...
The grant writing process involves several key steps:
1) Developing a research idea and identifying potential funding sources that align with the project scope.
2) Thoroughly researching the funding organization and literature related to the research topic.
3) Crafting the technical portion of the proposal, including hypotheses, research plans, and measures for tracking success.
4) Carefully following all formatting and submission guidelines specified in the funding announcement.

Comprehensive Risk Assessment and Mitigation
Risks that are there for a University Bookstore in sourcing books for their students include the challenge of miscommunication among the stakeholders. There are professors, tutors, and students that know about the books that are needed to facilitate learning, and the key details of concern include the book title, ISBN, publisher, and copyright date. The risks occur when the books ordered are different from the required books based on title and publisher, and this becomes a disadvantage to the institution and the learner because some information will be missing. The reason why the books undergo regular updates and publishing is critical for adding the missing information and limitation in previous versions making it better for the students to learn. There is a huge gap in the education sector where student feedback is given limited consideration making it challenging to curb the problem of having the wrong books in the store. There is a huge challenge in the process of communicating about the right books that are needed since there is an updated version annually, and the school store manager has to understand this (Landoll, 2021). I found out that the problem is experienced in the ordering system where there needs to be a gap in terms of communicating the right information that facilitates knowing the right costs, sale price, accurate taxes, and the type of the book. The manager is responsible for ensuring that the bookstore is subjected to an annual update that ensures the students' needs are addressed accordingly. The stakeholders are not involved as needed since the student understands what they are learning and the gaps that are there. The educators and professors are responsible for developing lesson plans and understanding the best book versions. Sourcing the information from different departments is challenging because there is limited understanding of what is needed since the process is not harmonized. The mitigation strategies towards the risks of having wrong books in the University store include adopting the classification analysis that plays the role of finding and assigning categories reducing errors and mistakes. Classification analysis makes it possible that when the bookshop has issues makes, it is possible that can trace where the problem originated by looking into the sales order ID, the date entered and approved, and the amount spent on the local sales order. There is a need to strengthen systems of book orders and the information is extracted, making it possible that the manager can adapt the predictive analytics software that helps in the prediction of future risks and opportunities. The stakeholder involvement is another intervention that would work well in reducing the possible risks.

Week 4 Assignment: Writing Persuasively
Scenario: You have just been hired by a local health agency that is affiliated with a local institution of higher education. The agency is considering partnering in the development of online courses to train new employees—as well as to provide ongoing training opportunities for all employees. However, some of the stakeholders within the agency are hesitant. They are not sure that the time and effort required to establish quality online courses are worth the return on investment. They are also concerned that employees may not complete training if not in a face-to-face situation. The health agency asks for your opinion. Should they “go online?” If online, how could they best ensure satisfaction and engagement with the training as well as completion?
As a recent graduate of an online program, you are convinced that online is the way to go. Using data provided in the Literature Review below, construct a persuasive argument for stakeholders that addresses their key concerns at this stage.
Literature Review:
At institutions of higher education the offering of online courses and online enrollments continues to grow at a rapid rate (Allen & Seaman, 2010b). Today’s students desire the flexibility provided by online courses and the anytime, anywhere learning they provide. In a recent examination of the state of online education in the U.S., Allen and Seaman found that more than 75% of public colleges and universities believe that online course offerings are an important part of their long-term strategic growth plans (2010b, 2011). Furthermore, during the recent economic downturn these same institutions have seen an increased demand for online courses and programs. This change presents a conundrum for institutions of higher education: They are facing increasing demands for online courses with smaller budgets (Allen & Seaman, 2010b). How can they meet this demand? Many are attempting to address this demand through increasing class sizes (Gunter, 2007; Moskal, Dziuban, Upchurch, Hartman, & Truman, 2006; Nagel & Kotze, 2010). Yet, these same institutions recognize that retaining students in online courses is more difficult (Allen & Seaman, 2010a).
The most frequently cited reasons for student dissatisfaction with online courses and high attrition is the lack of social presence and a lack of interaction with the instructor and other students, which leads to feelings of isolation (Rovai & Downey, 2010; Rovai, Ponton, Wighting, & Baker, 2007; Stodel, Thompson, & McDonald, 2006). On the other hand, the Internet has evolved into an interactive communication tool with continuing improvement of technologies such as social networking, digital media, Web 2.0 tools, social communication, and streaming media. These improvements increase its potential to provide students with a highly interactive, personal, and engaging learning experience in the online classroom (Bull, Hammond, & Ferster, 2008; Greenhow, 2011; Greenhow, Ro.
The document provides guidance on the generic structure for grant proposals, which typically includes six main elements: current situation, objectives, project plan, qualifications, costs, and benefits. It elaborates on each of these elements and how to effectively address them in a proposal. For example, the current situation section should describe the problem or opportunity, objectives should state the goals for addressing the situation, and the project plan should demonstrate how the plan will meet the objectives. The document emphasizes connecting all elements of the proposal and providing the necessary information funders need to evaluate proposals.
This document discusses the process of writing an effective proposal for nonprofit fundraising. It emphasizes that proposal writing should be part of an ongoing partnership cultivation process between the nonprofit and potential donors. A successful proposal tells a compelling story that outlines the problem being addressed, the proposed solution, and how the funds would be used. It provides key details about the project scope, timeline, outcomes, budget and organizational background. Following a step-by-step process that involves researching needs, defining the project and gathering required documentation helps nonprofits develop high-quality proposals that clearly communicate their goals and ability to create impact.

Discussion 1: Engaging and Assessing Across Levels of Social Work Practice
Maintaining the perspective that people are in constant interaction with their environment and the social systems therein (the Person in Environment perspective) is a key concept in the field of social work. Social work recognizes that the concerns or problems individuals face might be due to many causes. This view also supports another goal of social work which is to empower clients who are marginalized and oppressed to collaborate in the resolution of their problems or concerns as experts of their life experiences. As such, looking at a problem and assessing the needs of individuals depends on a review of the challenges they have encountered on the micro, mezzo, and macro levels. Assessing the situation on all three levels will provide a holistic map for goal planning. For example, you might assess a client’s individual strengths and challenges, the support or lack of.

The document provides guidance on writing effective grant proposals. It outlines 12 common pitfalls to avoid such as having a poor project fit, weak argument, vague goals and objectives, failure to follow application instructions, and insufficient editing. Key recommendations include clearly defining the problem and need, developing specific and measurable objectives, providing detailed implementation and evaluation plans, and getting feedback from others before submitting. Sections to address in the proposal are also outlined.
The document provides tips for developing winning program proposals, including the basic structure of a grant application, strategies for managing the grant writing process, tips for preparing key sections like the problem statement, program plan, evaluation, and management plan. It emphasizes establishing community needs, developing clear goals and measurable objectives, involving stakeholders, and demonstrating cultural competence throughout.
This document discusses the challenges of writing a problem and solution essay. It notes that these essays require understanding the problem's underlying causes, proposing viable solutions through creativity and research, and balancing exploring the problem with offering practical solutions. The essay also must be organized coherently to explain the progression from identifying the problem to proposing a solution. While difficult, seeking assistance can help facilitate writing a compelling problem and solution essay.
The document provides guidance on writing a concept paper, including:
1. Defining what a concept paper is and how it can be used to elucidate ideas through definition, explication, and clarification.
2. Identifying situations where a concept paper may effectively be used to improve society, such as serving as the basis for funding proposals.
3. Detailing the key elements of a concept paper such as a rationale, conceptual framework, and hypothesis to outline the basic ideas driving a proposed project.
Participatory evaluation involves stakeholders in a project assessing and improving it from the beginning. This approach changes a project from something done to people into a partnership. Key steps are starting with understanding local culture, gaining trust over time, and training all involved. Benefits include a better understanding of needs and effects, empowering stakeholders, and increasing project effectiveness. Challenges include the time needed for involvement, trust-building, and training non-experts.
This document provides guidance on writing an effective problem statement for a research proposal. It defines a research problem as a situation that needs a solution where possible solutions exist. An effective problem statement clearly describes the issue to be addressed in one sentence, with additional paragraphs elaborating on the problem's importance and context. It should identify the variables of interest and relationship between variables to be studied. The problem statement establishes the foundation for the rest of the proposal by framing the scope and focus of the research. It is important to demonstrate that the problem is worth studying by considering factors like its current relevance, future implications, practical applications, and theoretical significance. The problem statement helps motivate the need for the study and generates the research questions to be answered.

In the discover phase, the team interviewed local residents to develop personas and understand their experiences. In the define phase, the team identified small business owners as their target group and used co-design methods to reframe their understanding and develop initial concepts. In the develop phase, the concepts were prototyped through low-fidelity versions to get feedback from users.

Individual Project Part 3: Project Evaluation, Lessons Learned, and Synthesis of Insights Gained
Though project managers often gain a great deal of experiential knowledge through the project management process, project evaluation offers them a chance to formalize the lessons they have learned. Part 3 of the Individual Project focuses on issues related to evaluating the success of a project and the debriefing process for capturing lessons learned. If conducting an interview, your interviewee must be able to speak to these topics. Alternatively, you may examine a minimum of three organizations that have published descriptions about the evaluation and debriefing process of a health care information technology project.
Interview
To prepare:
Review the Individual Project Overview document linked in this week’s Learning Resources for additional information on this project. Pay particular attention to the questions you should ask in your interview.
Locate a professional who manages or works on special projects in health care and is willing to speak about his or her experience.
If such a person is not readily available to you, find someone in your community who has managed a project for an organization. The organization can be a volunteer service group, a faith-based group, a business, or another that meets your needs. The goal is to find an individual who has been in charge of a project important to the organization.
Review the topics and questions below that should be addressed in your interview.
Think about other related questions you might have for your interviewee and solidify your goals for speaking to and learning from this person.
Topics and Questions:
As in the other interviews, you will need to adapt your questions to the individual,
setting, and projects. You are not required to ask these
specific
questions, but you are
required to address the topics listed below (Note: If the interviewee cannot address a
topic, conduct a literature search to find scholarly information or research on that topic).
Evaluation
·
What tools or strategies do you use to evaluate the success of a project?
·
Can you give an example of a project that failed (or was not successful)?
Lessons Learned
·
Describe the project outcomes
o
What were some successful outcomes of the project? Were the project
goals met?
o
How do you conduct a debriefing of the project with the project team?
o
What happens to the information gained from the debriefing?
o
How do the project team and the organization support project debriefing?
·
Companies have historically looked at technical skills, but more and more
business managers are realizing that the absence of good "people" skills tends to
cripple projects. What are three critically important things a project manager (or
project team member) must do well to help a project succeed?
Please add questions of your own, including asking for advice for the future from your
interviewee.

ANALYSIS OF A BUBBLE CHAMBER PICTURE
SUPERVISED BY:
19/05/2020
1. Introduction
A bubble chamber is a vessel filled with a superheated transparent liquid (most often liquid hydrogen) used to detect electrically charged particles moving through it. It was invented in 1952 by Donald A. Glaser, for which he was awarded the 1960 Nobel Prize in Physics.
A convenient way to study the properties of the fundamental subatomic particles is through observation of their bubble trails, or tracks, in a bubble chamber. Using measurements made directly on a bubble chamber photograph, we can often identify the particles from their tracks and calculate their masses and other properties. In a typical experiment, a beam of a particular type of particle is sent from an accelerator into a bubble chamber, which is a large liquid-filled vessel. To simplify the analysis of the data, the liquid used is often hydrogen, the simplest element. The use of liquid hydrogen, while it simplifies the analysis, complicates the experiment itself, since hydrogen, a gas at room temperature, liquefies only when cooled to -246◦C. For charged particles to leave tracks in passing through the chamber, the liquid must be in a “super-heated” state, in which the slightest disturbance causes boiling to occur. In practice, this is accomplished by expanding the vapor above the liquid with a piston a few thousandths of a second before the particles enter the chamber.
2. Methods
2.1 Materials needed:
1. student worksheet per student
2. Ruler
3. Scissors
4. Glue stick
5. Pocket calculator
2.2 Procedures
2.2.1 Calculation of the X Particle’s Mass.
Make measurements on each of the photographs. In particular, for each of the circled events measure these four quantities:
· `Σ - The length of the Σ track,
· θ - the angle between the Σ− and π− track,
· s - the sagitta of the π− track,
· `π - The chord length of the π− track.
Your values for the event should be close to those given in the sample input. Run the program using each set of measurements, and tabulate the computed X0 mass from each event. Compute an average of the calculated masses and find the average deviation, expressing your result as Mx ±∆Mx.
Compare your final result with some known neutral particles listed below and identify the X0 particle based on this comparison.
Particlemass (in MeV/c2)
π0 135
K0 498
n 940
Λ0 1116
Σ0 1192
Ξ0 1315
2.2.2 Determination of the Angle θ.
The angle θ between the π− and Σ− momentum vectors can be determined by drawing tangents to the π− and Σ− tracks at the point of the Σ− decay.
We can then measure the angle between the tangents using a protractor. We can show.
Collins did not understand the events that led to the reasoning .docxvickeryr87
Collins did not understand the events that led to the reasoning why and actions how Wells Fargo conveyed victories, achievements, and accomplishments. Therefore, Collins was incorrect. Wells Fargo as a company was able to achieve earning because of their successful strategies in profit revenue or turnover for each employee. The Good to Great article brought up that many people were surprised when finding out what made companies successful especially in relation to the leadership (Collins, 2001).
Our text states that it is difficult for companies to find good ethical leaders because they tend to be more expensive (Meese, Ortmeier, 2001). Unethical leadership is sure to bring the downfall of any business; it is impossible to have a successful business if there are unethical practices, the employees are also bound to begin these practices making it difficult for the company to hold their end of their promises to their customers or members.
"He who oppresses the poor to make more for himself or who gives to the rich, will only come to poverty" (Proverbs 22:16).

250-word reply to classmate threads. The reply requires a minimum of 1 properly formatted citation. Each reply must be completed by you, the individual student. Additionally, each thread and reply must reflect a solid Christian worldview through the use of at least 1 Holy Bible reference.
Responding to a classmate’s post requires both the addition of new ideas and analysis. A particular point made by the classmate must be addressed and built upon by your analysis in order
to move the conversation forward
. Thus, the response post is a rigorous assignment that requires you to build upon initial posts to develop deeper and more thorough discussion of the ideas introduced in the initial posts. As such, reply posts that merely affirm, restate, or unprofessionally quarrel with the previous post(s) and fail to make a valuable, substantive contribution to the discussion will receive appropriate point deductions.

Discussion 1: Engaging and Assessing Across Levels of Social Work Practice
Maintaining the perspective that people are in constant interaction with their environment and the social systems therein (the Person in Environment perspective) is a key concept in the field of social work. Social work recognizes that the concerns or problems individuals face might be due to many causes. This view also supports another goal of social work which is to empower clients who are marginalized and oppressed to collaborate in the resolution of their problems or concerns as experts of their life experiences. As such, looking at a problem and assessing the needs of individuals depends on a review of the challenges they have encountered on the micro, mezzo, and macro levels. Assessing the situation on all three levels will provide a holistic map for goal planning. For example, you might assess a client’s individual strengths and challenges, the support or lack of.

The document provides guidance on writing effective grant proposals. It outlines 12 common pitfalls to avoid such as having a poor project fit, weak argument, vague goals and objectives, failure to follow application instructions, and insufficient editing. Key recommendations include clearly defining the problem and need, developing specific and measurable objectives, providing detailed implementation and evaluation plans, and getting feedback from others before submitting. Sections to address in the proposal are also outlined.
The document provides tips for developing winning program proposals, including the basic structure of a grant application, strategies for managing the grant writing process, tips for preparing key sections like the problem statement, program plan, evaluation, and management plan. It emphasizes establishing community needs, developing clear goals and measurable objectives, involving stakeholders, and demonstrating cultural competence throughout.
This document discusses the challenges of writing a problem and solution essay. It notes that these essays require understanding the problem's underlying causes, proposing viable solutions through creativity and research, and balancing exploring the problem with offering practical solutions. The essay also must be organized coherently to explain the progression from identifying the problem to proposing a solution. While difficult, seeking assistance can help facilitate writing a compelling problem and solution essay.
The document provides guidance on writing a concept paper, including:
1. Defining what a concept paper is and how it can be used to elucidate ideas through definition, explication, and clarification.
2. Identifying situations where a concept paper may effectively be used to improve society, such as serving as the basis for funding proposals.
3. Detailing the key elements of a concept paper such as a rationale, conceptual framework, and hypothesis to outline the basic ideas driving a proposed project.
Participatory evaluation involves stakeholders in a project assessing and improving it from the beginning. This approach changes a project from something done to people into a partnership. Key steps are starting with understanding local culture, gaining trust over time, and training all involved. Benefits include a better understanding of needs and effects, empowering stakeholders, and increasing project effectiveness. Challenges include the time needed for involvement, trust-building, and training non-experts.
This document provides guidance on writing an effective problem statement for a research proposal. It defines a research problem as a situation that needs a solution where possible solutions exist. An effective problem statement clearly describes the issue to be addressed in one sentence, with additional paragraphs elaborating on the problem's importance and context. It should identify the variables of interest and relationship between variables to be studied. The problem statement establishes the foundation for the rest of the proposal by framing the scope and focus of the research. It is important to demonstrate that the problem is worth studying by considering factors like its current relevance, future implications, practical applications, and theoretical significance. The problem statement helps motivate the need for the study and generates the research questions to be answered.

1. Introduction
A bubble chamber is a vessel filled with a superheated transparent liquid (most often liquid hydrogen) used to detect electrically charged particles moving through it. It was invented in 1952 by Donald A. Glaser, for which he was awarded the 1960 Nobel Prize in Physics.
A convenient way to study the properties of the fundamental subatomic particles is through observation of their bubble trails, or tracks, in a bubble chamber. Using measurements made directly on a bubble chamber photograph, we can often identify the particles from their tracks and calculate their masses and other properties. In a typical experiment, a beam of a particular type of particle is sent from an accelerator into a bubble chamber, which is a large liquid-filled vessel. To simplify the analysis of the data, the liquid used is often hydrogen, the simplest element. The use of liquid hydrogen, while it simplifies the analysis, complicates the experiment itself, since hydrogen, a gas at room temperature, liquefies only when cooled to -246◦C. For charged particles to leave tracks in passing through the chamber, the liquid must be in a “super-heated” state, in which the slightest disturbance causes boiling to occur.

Define civilization. Do we really need it in order to survive and prosper on this planet? The real question is whether we can live above subsistence without the technological innovations that cities generate. Moreover, the question is not as frivolous as it may seem at first glance. Many cultures throughout human history consciously decided not to take the route toward nucleated settlements and the resultant consequences. The Celts represent one example from the time line of our course of a people who preferred not to have cities. The Avars, a Turkic-speaking people from Central Asia, were pastoral nomads who acquired cities during the course of their conquests, yet they “used” cities in ways that would strike average city dwellers as most strange.

25 Grant proposals are complex documents that can be .docx
1. 25
Grant proposals are complex documents that can be dif-
ficult to write, and two of the most difficult parts are the
Statement of Need(s) and the concomitant Goal(s). One of
the most common reasons a grant proposal is rejected is
that the “[a]pplicant did not adequately define the need(s)
to be addressed by the proposal.”1 The statement of need(s)
must be precise and appropriate for funding to be attained.
Many writers experience problems with stating the real
need; instead, they describe superficial wants or items
related to meeting the need. In contrast, some writers have a
good understanding of the real need, but they state the goal
of their research or project in terms that are too vague to res-
onate with a grant-making agency. This article suggests two
prewriting exercises to help writers overcome these prob-
lems: logical mapping and a six-step method for articulat-
2. ing the goal. Logical mapping can help writers identify real
needs and clarify why they should be addressed; mapping
can also pinpoint the causes that a solution must address.
The six-step method can change vague claims about what
a solution-implementation project or research endeavor
will accomplish into clear, specific statements of the goal(s).
These two exercises are applicable to education and small
foundation grants; for more complicated grant proposals,
like those to the National Institutes of Health, these exercises
are useful but not necessarily sufficient.
It is always important to follow all instructions given in
the request for proposals (RFP) and to respond using key
words that reflect the values of the funding source. Many
proposals with great ideas are rejected because they fail
to follow all RFP guidelines. The RFP typically provides
explicit instructions about what information is needed in
which sections of a proposal; how to format that informa-
tion; and when, where, and how to submit the proposal.
3. RFPs give detailed requirements for font styles and sizes,
document length, due dates, and the types of projects that
can be funded for each specific grant. Sloppy formatting or
grammar and spelling errors will reflect poorly on the cred-
ibility of everyone involved with the project. Furthermore,
the “shotgun” method of proposal submission—sending a
proposal to several foundations or government agencies—
typically “results in high rates of rejection and negative posi-
tioning with funding sources.”2 Sending a proposal in this
manner, especially when some of the foundations or govern-
ment agencies have interests only marginally related to the
topic, not only garners rejection of that specific proposal,
it also reduces the credibility of the project team members
and their organization. Showing that good research has
gone into selecting potential funding sources as well as
developing the project will enhance credibility and help
persuade a reviewer that the applicant’s organization is
capable of sound judgment in handling money, activities,
4. and individuals.
Solving Problem 1: Distinguishing Needs from Wants
A grant proposal can request funding to conduct research
(eg, to test a hypothesis) or to solve a problem (eg, to change
treatment protocols or clinical procedures). The major task
of writing a grant proposal involves describing a research
question that needs to be answered or a problem (such as a
high level of sepsis among patients after surgery in a hospi-
tal) that needs to be resolved. Too often, grant writers make
the mistake of confusing a need with something that will
meet a need. This mistake indicates to a funding agency that
the project team does not share the agency’s values and ide-
als. Many RFPs contain a statement of need section, and it is
imperative to be specific in showing the difference between
what the beneficiaries of the research or project currently
have and what they need.
First, you must clearly separate the need from the solu-
tion you are proposing to meet the need. Chavkin provides
a simple example of this confusion in describing school
5. social workers who “need” a van to transport children to
and from afterschool tutoring activities.3 It is obvious to the
school social workers how helpful the van will be. By focus-
ing the proposal on getting a van, however, they are focusing
on one part of a solution and not on the needs that the van
will meet. The message would be clearer if the social work-
ers explained the learning needs of the students who will be
transported in the van and how the van will help improve
learning by getting students to tutoring. It is important to
stay focused on the problem and not become distracted by
one possible solution. A hospital does not “need” a super-
fast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine; however,
the hospital may need a means of providing diagnostic
imaging services within a workable time frame to a larger-
than-average number of patients in an area where head

and joint injuries are common because of a local tradition
of skateboarding. The super-fast MRI is one possible way of
meeting the need, but it remains to be proven that it is the
best and most cost-effective solution. Perhaps local laws
against skateboarding could resolve this problem at a much
lower cost.
Most grant-writing experts recommend writing logi-
cal, factual descriptions of needs, including a brief review
of what relevant experts have said, to verify the existence of
these needs and either to document an ongoing history of
a problem or to show how a recent change in some circum-
stance causes the problem. In his step-by-step guide on
grant writing, Henson notes, “By simply reviewing the litera-
ture and reporting the research conducted by others, grant-
7. proposal writers can build convincing support for their
grants.”2 A viable proposal demonstrates a need for specific
knowledge in a discipline or for changes in physical circum-
stances among a specific population or within a specified
physical location. Because the need must not be confused
with a solution that might help to meet the need, it is a good
practice to brainstorm all aspects of the problem, includ-
ing causes and effects, in order to ensure that the message is
clear to the grant writer before he/she attempts to explain it
to proposal reviewers.
A statement of need examines one of the two main
aspects of a problem (effects and causes). The seriousness
of a problem can be established by looking at its effects.
To mentally explore a problem’s effects, begin with a logi-
cal map, sometimes called a mind map (Figure 1). Focus on
naming all the effects of a problem. Showing the connec-
tions between the real problem and its consequences can
help to prove that a problem deserves to be solved. If the
8. consequences of doing nothing would involve letting people
suffer unnecessarily, then a good case can be made for the
need to change the situation.
Solving Problem 2: Articulating Goals Precisely
A goal statement in a grant proposal focuses on the sec-
ond aspect of a problem—its causes. In writing a grant,
one must demonstrate that the cause(s) of the problem is
understood. The effects are often the perceived problems,
but the cause is the underlying problem that produces the
effects.4 To help explore the possible causes of a problem,
create a logical map and ask the questions “Why is this hap-
pening?” and “What changed to bring about these unde-
sirable effects?” until the ultimate cause is uncovered.4 A
viable solution must target an actual cause of a problem.
If one discovers that the problem has multiple causes, one
should select the most likely target for an intervention on
the basis of what can be feasibly accomplished with limited
time and resources. Still, it is a good idea to demonstrate to
9. a funding source that the larger causal chain is understood
and that a specific intervention is being advocated because
it is the most practical or has the best chance of success-
fully producing a helpful change in the outcomes. At times,
when multiple causes contribute to a problem, it might be
feasible to target only one or two of them. Identifying causes
of a problem in this way allows one to express a clear and
specific goal for producing an identifiable and appropriate
change.
These mapping activities can provide the raw mate-
rial for the introduction section of a proposal that identifies
a real need, explores the issues of who is affected and how
severely, establishes when the need began and how long
it has been a problem, and persuades readers that a solu-
tion is needed. One must first argue for the importance of
a problem (based on its effects) so that the readers are con-
vinced that it is truly worth resolving. One can then explain
how and why a particular project will solve or mitigate the
10. problem. For research, a proposal writer can first argue for
the need for research in an area where knowledge is lacking

on the basis of undesirable consequences that result from
this lack of knowledge or the desirable potential outcomes
that might result from gaining this knowledge. One can then
clearly articulate the goal along with arguments for how
and why the chosen methods will lead to a valid answer to
a research question, phrased in terms of testing a specific
hypothesis.
Once it is demonstrated that a need exists, a proposal
writer can provide a goal statement. The purpose of a goal
13. statement is to hypothesize how much of what kind of
change will occur in a target area or population within a
specified time for a set cost. One can create a goal statement
for a grant proposal by following six steps to articulate the
goal clearly (see list at right).
Six-Step Method for Articulating Your Goal
The first step in articulating a clear goal is to determine what
kind of results are needed in what location or arena. For
example, a project may focus on reducing sepsis among
surgical patients in a free, inner-city clinic.
The second step is to identify how change will be mea-
sured; for example, what test result or clinical outcome
determines the extent of the presence of sepsis in the clinic’s
surgical patients?
The third step requires estimating how much change
will be considered “good enough” to be called a success-
ful outcome. Most clinicians and funding agencies will not
consider a 3% reduction of sepsis in surgical patients to be a
14. success worth funding—it might even be seen as a random
change. In contrast, a 100% reduction is unrealistic. The
key is to determine an amount of change that is reasonably
attainable and worth the money and effort. For example,
one may compare the sepsis rate at one clinic with the rate
at a model clinic and strive to match that standard.
The fourth step is to set a deadline: in what timeframe
can the desired change be achieved? Will it take weeks,
months, or years?
The fifth step is to determine the costs, and it is impor-
tant to not inflate or underestimate the costs. Cost is, of
course, an issue of great concern to grant-making agencies,
and the predicted costs must be reasonable and allow for
the change to be made or the hypothesis to be tested. It may
also be of value to note exactly how much benefit would be
produced for the stated costs so that proposal evaluators
can compare the likely return on investment that each com-
peting proposal promises.
15. The sixth and final step in articulating a clear goal recaps
the previous steps in a comprehensive statement of what
change will be made (or what knowledge will be gained),
according to what measurable criteria for success, by what
deadline, and at what cost.
It is possible that you might never write the goal state-
ment obtained from the six steps verbatim in a proposal;
however, this statement will be the guiding light for writing a
proposal because nearly all of the information that must be
included in a proposal is based on this goal statement.
Applying These Techniques to Basic Science Research
Although these techniques for clarifying needs and goals are
most relevant to proposals for applied research and program
development, they can also be of some use for proposals for
basic science research. The main difference between the two
types of research is that applied research creates change in
physical or social outcomes, whereas basic science changes
the body of knowledge available to others who later apply
it. Thus, in the case of basic science, the need is for knowl-
16. edge, the lack of which impedes progress in understanding
the causal mechanisms involved in some disease or envi-
ronmental process. If logical mapping can identify effects
but not causes, then basic science research may be needed
to explore possible causal connections. In such a case, the
need for the research can be explained in terms of what
problems arise from the lack of knowledge. In some cases, it
may be difficult to describe an expected benefit; it is simply
a matter of producing knowledge that will have unforeseen
potential applications. For example, the discovery of nuclear
fission resulted in the production of atomic weapons as
well as nuclear power. If one is writing a proposal for a basic
science research grant, one should focus on the generally
accepted benefits of expanding human knowledge. The
1. Identify areas in which results are needed.
2. Specify measurable indicators for these result areas;
these indicators should tell how well one is progressing
toward the desired results.
3. Determine performance standards to answer the ques-
17. tion: How much change of the measurement indicator
will signify success (eg, a 5%, 20%, or 100% reduction or
increase in the factor being measured)?
4. Specify a timeframe for accomplishing the desired
change, then view this as a deadline.
5. Determine the cost range within which the project will
operate (the amount of money the project will spend to
meet the goal by using the methods described in the rest
of the proposal). One can also identify how many benefi-
ciaries will be served for this cost.
6. Articulate a goal statement in the following format: “To
action-verb + statement-involving-measurement-indica-
tor by performance-standard by deadline at a cost of no
more than cost-range.” Example: To test the hypoth-
esis that radiofrequency thermal coagulation denerva-
tion procedures are effective for reducing pain levels
experienced by patients with chronic back pain (defined
as pain lasting for more than 1 year) by at least 40%,
as reported by patients on a 10-point pain scale, with
the reduction expected to last at least 6 months, in 50
patients within 1 year, for a cost of $800,000.
Six Steps to Writing Clear, Specific Goals
28
mapping exercise suggested here may
provide limited benefits for proposals
related to basic science research with
18. unknown effects and causes, but the
six-step method for articulating the goal
can still be used to explain how much of
what kind of change may be produced in
the body of scientific knowledge avail-
able for application in the future.
Conclusion
A clear and specific statement of need is
a key feature of a good, fundable grant
proposal. Logical mapping exercises
can identify or clarify real needs as well
as causal mechanisms that viable solu-
tions must target. The six-step method
described here can enable a grant pro-
posal writer to state the goal(s) of a grant
proposal in terms that respond directly
to a RFP. These two prewriting exer-
cises can make a grant proposal more
19. appealing to potential funders by giving
proposal reviewers exactly what they are
seeking. Providing this information in a
succinct manner enhances the likeli-
hood of attaining funding for worthwhile
projects.

SELECTION OF A PROJECT AND FUNDER 4
24. Selection of a Project and Funder
Student Name
Institutional Affiliations
Selection of a Project and Funder
Part 1
The grant to apply for is the Mental Health Awareness Training
grants. This is a grant offered and supported by the SAMHSA -
Substance abuse and mental health services administration:
https://www.samhsa.gov/grants/grant-announcements/sm-18-
009. This is the grant, which help in the pursuing of mental
health illness and substance abuse education and awareness.
The grant is a probable consideration for the value of meeting
the value of community based approaches. The essence is also
to improve, increase, and develop the awareness of substance
abuse in the community and mental illness. Hence, the grant is a
probable cause, which will support an education program in the
community, especially supported by the institution.
Evaluation of the RFPs was through determining the core
considerations and expectations of the grants. It is important
also to ensure the necessary considerations, such as
25. qualifications and successful awarding of the grants. The RFPs
was also evaluated through the ability to align the program’s
goals and the grant’s mission and vision.
The main search engine was the use of Google search engine
and this helped to identify information and vital statistics from
the grants.gov portal. The portal was an essential source of
information on the successful and highly rated funders in the
modern community. The process for searching was based on the
best funders in partnering with the local and state governments.
Finally, the aims of SAMHSA is to create awareness on the
emerging challenges of mental illness and the aim of the
community to meet and thrive under creating awareness on
mental illness and substance abuse. The main focus of why I
choose the RFP is due to the partnering of this program with the
local community through the college social responsibility to the
community. This is the grant, which can help the program to
focus and improve on its essential consideration on the
community.
Part 2
The purpose of this program is to develop an education and
awareness training program for parents and the youth in the
community regarding substance abuse and mental illness in the
community. The program is innovative due to the challenges
facing the modern community’s parents and youth to maintain a
normal relationship in the community. It is also innovative
since it will integrate the college’s social responsibility to the
community and partnering with the local and state governments
to develop resources for educating the community. This will
meet the needs of many parents in the community about the
importance of educating many parents in the community and the
youth about the challenging issues of substance abuse. Many
children and the youth are dropping from school and joining
criminal gangs due to substance abuse and lack of direction in
their lives. Also, the training program, which will be offered to
the community’s parents and youths will also educate about the
incidence of mental illness and how to cope with the issue. It is
26. important to use the program to influence, educate, and offer
guidance to the many patents and youths of the community.
There are different factors, which led to the creation of this idea
to ensure parents and the youth understand the issues affecting
the community. The value of the society is to increase and
improve the development of the social awareness about human
development in the community. Therefore, the rising cases of
substance abuse in the community by the youth and children is
alarming and over 75% of college students, abuse drugs. The
rates are raising monthly and this is affecting the value of
education and why the next generation is facing growing
challenges. The purpose of the program is to align the many
needs of parents in the modern community and the youth about
leading normal educational lives. The rising numbers of
children and students abuse drugs is affecting the essence of
parenting. There is the need for an intervention to ensure the
rise of the substance abuse can be curbed and this will help to
educate parents and the youth on the same. There is also the
challenge of mental illness in the community. Parents should be
trained on the importance of identifying the cases and ways for
affecting mental development. Parents should also be trained
about the importance of determining the key issues affecting
children, especially mental cases. Hence, these are some of the
key aspects, which makes this program a necessity for parents
and the youth. Currently, a lot of research is being done and
many regulations and curriculum changes are being introduced
