It will operate afterschool at recreation centers and other facilities 2-5:30pm weekly. The goal is to improve literacy, math, and test scores, especially as scores decline in 7th grade. A $34,000 grant would fund hiring a coordinator, training staff, and supplies to pilot the program at two sites and expand existing academic programs. The league aims to enhance players' experiences and academic achievement through this initiative.
Writing the Budget for a Grant ProposalDierdre McKee
The document provides guidance on writing an effective budget for a grant proposal. It explains that the budget demonstrates the total costs of the project, how the funding will be used, and serves as a spending plan. An understandable budget is crucial. The budget includes costs for personnel, materials, travel, and indirect expenses over all phases from planning to evaluation. Careful planning is needed to determine realistic expenses, seek estimates, and ensure the budget justification explains and supports all costs. Consistency between the narrative and budget is important.
This document discusses logic models, which are systematic visual representations of a planned program that show the underlying assumptions, framework, and connections between inputs, activities, outputs, outcomes, and impact. Logic models are useful tools for program planning, management, and evaluation that can be included in grant proposals. They represent the story of the program and illustrate the logical chain of if-then relationships between investing resources, implementing activities, and achieving results.

Writing the winning thesis or dissertation, a step by step guide. Slides have been prepared from the book of the same name authored by Randy L. Joyner, William A. Rouse and Allan A. Glatthorn.
This document provides an overview of the research process and key concepts for writing a research paper. It defines research as a careful, systematic investigation that contributes new knowledge. Research has several key characteristics, including being objective, systematic, and empirical. The research process involves defining a problem, reviewing related literature, developing a methodology, collecting and analyzing data, and reporting findings. A research paper typically includes chapters that address the problem, theoretical framework, methodology, results, and conclusions. Important considerations in developing a research problem and title are ensuring the topic is novel, feasible within time constraints, and supported by the academic community.
research problem AND its characteristicsshifa-aisha
The document discusses key aspects of selecting a research problem. It defines a research problem as a question or issue involving uncertainty that is proposed for investigation. Important characteristics of a research problem include that it should contribute new knowledge, be feasible to study, ethical, significant, logical, clear, well-defined, use appropriate language, be original, follow titling conventions, and have current importance. The document provides steps for selecting a problem, including brainstorming ideas, researching background information, focusing the topic, developing keywords, and formulating the problem. Considerations for selecting a problem involve having relevant expertise, interest in the topic, and available data sources.
This document outlines the research process and how to conceptualize a research study. It discusses that research has three phases: the conceptual phase, the empirical phase, and the interpretative phase. In the conceptual phase, researchers determine what questions will be addressed and how procedures will identify answers. This involves searching literature, finding collaborators, considering methodology, and assessing feasibility. Researchers must also identify topics, write a title that describes the study, and write an introduction that establishes the problem and purpose. The background study involves conducting primary research to develop a research question or thesis that guides further investigation.

4. Thesis/Dissertation Chapters
• In Agricultural & Extension Education
theses/dissertations there are typically 5
chapters:
1. Introduction
2. Review of Literature
3. Methodology
4. Findings
5. Conclusions &
Recommendations
5. What should be in a
research proposal/report?
• A research proposal • A research report
A synopsis of what will be For theses and
written in chapters 1, 2 and 3
• Introduction dissertations – all five
• Review of Literature chapters
• Methodology For journal articles and
papers – a synopsis of all
five chapters
6. Introduction Section or Chapter 1
• The introductory section introduces the problem to
be studied and could range from 3 or so paragraphs
to several pages
• This is often followed by a section titled “Need for
the Study”. This is 1- 3 paragraphs in length. Here
you make the case for studying the problem you
have selected.
7. Introduction Section
• Statement of the Problem is next. This
is one or two sentences clearly stating
what it is being study. If often starts
with “The purpose…”
The purpose of this study is to determine if
immediate feedback in AEE graduate classes
improves student learning and course evaluations.
8. Introduction Section
• Research questions and/or hypothesis follow.
– Descriptive research often uses just research questions. It
is permissible to have a hypothesis.
– In experimental, quasi-experimental, correlational or ex
post facto research a hypothesis is generally expected. You
can also have research questions if desired.
9. Research Question(s)
• Sample Research Questions
– Does the use of electronic responders to provide
immediate feedback to graduate students in AEE classes
increase student learning?
– Does the use of electronic responders to provide
immediate feedback to graduate students in AEE classes
improve student evaluations of classes?
10. Research Question(s)
• One may have several research question
• For data analysis avoid research questions with an
“and”
– Does the use of electronic responders to provide
immediate feedback to graduate students in AEE classes
increase student learning and improve student evaluations
of classes?
One part of the question may be yes and the
other no. It is best to compartmentalize
everything.
11. The Hypothesis
• In proposing or reporting research, directional
hypotheses are normally stated:
– Directional
• Students will have higher grades in AEE classes in which electronic
responders are used than in AEE classes where they are not used.
12. The Hypothesis
• It is possible to have a nondirectional
hypothesis. This is stated the same as a null
hypothesis.
• When one performs a statistical test, they are
actually testing the Null hypothesis
13. Introduction continued…
• The introductory section often contains:
– Assumptions – These are assumptions you have
about the research being proposed
• you think people will answer honestly, they have
knowledge of the subject, they are representative, etc.
Typically this is included in a proposal and in
theses and dissertations but is not reported in
journal articles or research presentations.
14. Introduction continued…
• The introductory section generally contains:
– Limitations – Things that happened during the
study they may impact on your findings or the
generalizability of the research
• Hurricane Fran caused extension agents in the east to
change there normal work patterns.
• The swine flu resulted in a higher number than normal
absentees in the classes.
Typically this is included in a proposal and in
theses and dissertations but is not reported in
journal articles or research presentations unless
there is a glaring problem.
15. Introduction continued…
• The introductory section generally contains:
– Definitions – Define the terms in your research
that the average person might not know or if you
have a special definition for the term
• Classroom discipline problem
• Lesson Plan
Typically this is included in a proposal and in
theses and dissertations but is not reported in
journal articles or research presentations. It is
assumed your audience will know the words.
16. Section 2 – Review of Literature
• By the time you finish your
research, you should know
more about the topic than
anyone else, including
members of your committee.
You accomplish this by a
thorough review of existing
research regarding the
problem.
17. Literature Review
• In a thesis or dissertation, this section may be 10-50
pages.
• In a journal article it may only be 2-3 pages at the
most. You have to prove you know the research but
can’t go overboard because of page limitations on
manuscripts.
• In a grant proposal you might have 2-5 references to
other work to show that you are aware of its
existence
18. Literature Review
• It is generally best to start globally and then
narrow it down to the specific research
question you have.
• Next week’s class focuses on how to conduct a
literature review.
19. Literature Review
• You want to synthesize and merge what others
had done, not just string a bunch of quotes
together!!!!
YES! – Moving around the classroom helps to maintain
student interest (Banks, 2001; Carpenter, 1996;
James, 1998)
– Banks (2001) says it is important to move around in
the classroom.
NO! – Carpenter (1996) believes movement in the
classroom helps students to focus on the teacher.
– James (1998) says teachers should change their
position every 3-4 minutes in order to keep student
attention.
20. Section 3- Methods
• Describe the research methodology (correlational,
descriptive, etc.) you are used (or plan to use) and
why.
• Describe the population you are studying.
• If a sample is used, tell how big the sample is, why
that sample size was chosen, and how the sample
was selected (I.e stratified random sample, cluster
sample, etc.)
21. Section 3 - Methods
• If the research is experimental, describe the
research design and what was done to control
extraneous variables.
• If the research is historical discuss sources of
data.
22. Section 3- Methods
• Describe the research instrument used.
– How many sections and items or on it and how do people
respond.
– What is the rating scale? What is a high score? What is a
low score?
– How was it developed.
– Was it field tested?
– How do you know it is valid.
– How do you know it is reliable.
23. Section 3- Methods
• Describe how the data were collected (Personal
interview, Mail survey, etc.)
• When and where were the data collected
• What was done about non-respondents?
• How were the data coded.
24. Section 3- Methods
• Describe the statistical process used in
analyzing the data. Why did you use the
statistics you did.
25. Section 4- Findings
• Report the data you have collected.
• Follow the same sequence in presenting the data so
that is corresponds with your research questions or
hypotheses.
• Data should be reported both in writing and in
graphic form (tables, graphs, etc.) The tables should
support the narrative and vice-versa. However, the
text should be able to stand alone.
• Report any statistical tests.
• Just report the facts, don’t make any interpretations
at this point in time.
26. Section 5- Conclusions &
Recommendations
• Based upon the findings section, what can be concluded?
– This is very challenging to do.
– Some folks end up restating the findings, which is not what
should be done.
• A finding is that students using electronic responders scored 5 points
higher than students not using responders.
• The conclusion is that the use of responders results in gain in student
knowledge.
• What are the implications of this research for practice?
– Teachers should use electronic responders.
• What recommendations do have for further research?
– Would electronic responders work with adults?
29. Private Foundations
• Rich folks & companies create foundations to
have a formal way of giving away money.
• There are 61,000 foundations
• Some foundations are having problems giving
out money.
30. Private Foundations
• By law, foundations must give away 5% of
their assets every year.
– Some large foundations have to give out
$8,000,000 a day to meet this requirement.
31. Private Foundations
• There is a book found in most public and
university libraries called “The Foundation
Directory” (it cost $400)
• It lists foundations by state and also has a
subject index
32. The Foundation Directory
• The Foundation Directory is now on-line.
• Go to http://www.fdncenter.org/
• You can search by foundation name, recipient name,
subject/topic, geographic area plus several other fields
• There is a charge to use this service; at one time NCSU
subscribed but budget cuts have impacted this
33. Private Foundations
• The Foundation Center is a web site that has
all types of information on getting grants.
http://www.foundationcenter.org/
34. Private Foundations
• In North Carolina there are 218 Foundations.
• Most limit their grants to North Carolina
(generally to specific counties).
• Education is often a “favorite cause.”
• Foundations housed in other states also give
grants in North Carolina
