The document discusses the steps involved in writing an effective grant proposal. It compares the process to pitching a movie script to a producer. An effective proposal must outline the project's goals and limitations, and convince the funder that it will address an important social issue. It must include a need statement, objectives, methodology, and management plan. Following these basic steps will help the grant writer secure funding and achieve their goals, just as an effective script pitch can help a screenwriter get their movie funded.
Discovering and mapping your community needs - HealthLandscape
Presented at the 2013 Community Connections Pre-Application Workshops for The HealthPath Foundation of Ohio
The document discusses the key stages in event planning and management. It outlines the importance of conducting research, designing events based on stakeholder needs, and feasibility analysis. The five main stages of event management are research, design, planning, coordination, and evaluation to help ensure events are successful.
This document summarizes a presentation by Iain De Jong on data and performance measurement for homelessness services. The presentation covers: why collecting good data is important; key definitions like inputs, activities, outputs and outcomes; how to create a data typology and logic models; setting targets and doing data analysis; meeting funder expectations; and creating a data-focused organizational culture. Common problems with data like confusing outputs and outcomes are also addressed. The goal is to help organizations better use data to understand their work and drive improvements in serving clients experiencing homelessness.
This document provides an introduction to proposal writing. It defines a proposal as a marketing document that outlines a project plan to a potential donor. The proposal establishes the ideas for a project to provide a clear understanding for the donor. Good proposal writing follows a general format that includes describing the organizational background, problem statement, project rationale, objectives, strategies, activities, budget and implementation plan. It discusses some common challenges in proposal writing like difficult formats, language barriers, and tight deadlines. It emphasizes the importance of researching the donor's priorities and conducting background checks before drafting the proposal. It also explains how to write an effective problem statement, goals, objectives and strategies/activities for the project. Finally, it touches on indicators to measure the results

The document summarizes findings from interviews with community partners involved in a health impact assessment (HIA). It identifies challenges in the partnership between community organizations and the practitioner institution conducting the HIA. These included issues with the memorandum of understanding (MOU) that included money changing the power dynamic, lack of bidirectional communication, unmet expectations, and structural power imbalances around resources and identity. The community partners felt their engagement was sometimes "hollow" and that the practitioner institution deflected blame rather than taking ownership of issues.
The document discusses evaluation of a national empowerment partnership project. It addresses several topics:
1. Membership of regional partnerships and how they can develop a more inclusive membership.
2. The structure of the national partnership and proposals to clarify its role in advocacy, coordination, and information sharing.
3. Measuring "good practice" and how to accommodate different views on evaluation within the partnership.
4. Planning for future years, including continuity if funding is extended and what may continue if not. Evaluation plans for year 2 are also addressed.
The document discusses how government agency executives can take control of the budget narrative amid budget cuts and uncertainty. It recommends that agencies monitor social media and other data sources to understand stakeholder perspectives and target messaging. Agencies should use data to defend program impacts and staffing needs to influence budget decisions. Quantitative, data-driven communication and predictive analytics can help agencies prepare for meetings about budget cuts and the effects on services, staffing, and agency survival.

Randomised control trials: lessons for Civic Tech - Andrew Westbury (Center f...mysociety
The document summarizes insights from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that can inform civic technology. It discusses how the Center for Effective Global Action (CEGA) conducts RCTs to test institutional reforms and provides three examples of information-based RCTs. One study in Brazil found that providing municipal audits led citizens to hold governments more accountable. A study in the Philippines found that providing voter information increased knowledge but also increased vote buying. A study in Sierra Leone found that political debates increased campaigning efforts. The document suggests civic technology could help enable more such studies and notes areas of potential partnership between researchers and practitioners.
Randomized Controlled Trials: Insights for Civic Tech Andrew Westbury
Randomized controlled trials – or RCTs – have dramatically changed the development landscape, casting doubt on the effectiveness of accepted strategies – like microfinance – and identifying the value of previously-unorthodox activities, like unconditional cash transfers.
However, what have these powerful tools taught us about state capacity, government accountability, and responsiveness? Moreover, what does the RCT literature tell us about the use of technology to improve public services and galvanize citizen groups?
Unfortunately, state capacity and government accountability are some of the least-researched areas of international development. The International Initiative for Impact Evaluation (3ie) reports that less than 3% of registered impact evaluations focus on governance-related issues.
Moreover, a review of 175 recent RCTs identified only approximately 30 that included a specific tech-focus and few of these evaluated used tech from the “bottom-up” to catalyse community-action, peer-to-peer collaboration, and citizen-led efforts to address civic issues.
The Center for Effective Global Action (CEGA) at UC-Berkeley has recently launched a multi-year effort to support randomised evaluations of governance interventions around the world. As a part of this process, CEGA this year published a white paper, surveying over 200 recent impact evaluations on governance issues to identify “what works” and highlight open research questions.

Advanced EC seminar on decentralisation and local governance
European Commission EuropeAid
2-5 July 2012, Brussels
The seminar reviewed the country context and the evolving international development framework and considered how to manage the political dimensions of decentralisation. It also looked at using decentralisation as a trigger to foster better development outcomes and governance and what all this means for future EU engagement in decentralisation and local governance. Jean Bossuyt, ECDPM, was the lead facilitator of this meeting. Alisa Herrero, ECDPM, was also one of the experts facilitating this seminar.
The document provides guidance on how to engender a project application by incorporating a gender perspective throughout the application process. It discusses including gender considerations in key sections like the letter of intent, project description, methodology, management strategy, logical framework, budget, and evaluating one's own gender thinking. Gender should be integrated in terms of goals, activities, participation, impacts and outcomes to demonstrate how the project will promote gender equality.
Delivery of DEBIs to Young Transgender Persons of Color by Community-Based Or...CDC NPIN
1) Community-based organizations faced challenges in implementing HIV prevention programs for young transgender persons of color due to difficulties meeting their basic needs, building trust within the transgender community, and providing a safe space.
2) Successful programs required collaborating with other service providers, involving community members in program design and delivery, and expanding services beyond HIV prevention alone.
3) Organizations also struggled with staffing issues like ensuring staff had specialized training and that transgender youth felt comfortable receiving services from peers. Addressing social inequality and transphobia was also important for engaging the community.
In this webinar, you will be provided a model for explaining how the current world of work is shifting with models for managing team conflict and dealing with the emotions of project team members and stakeholders.
This ppt. presents data from our TNGO leadership interview study on effectiveness, and how this relates to web-based rating systems and greater disclosure by TNGOs regarding their outcomes.
This document summarizes the Greater Portland Pulse process, which used indicator projects to explore issues of equity in the Portland, Oregon region. A top-down/bottom-up process was used to identify 9 outcome categories and specific indicators. An equity panel provided criteria around disaggregating data by demographics and mapping indicators to the neighborhood level. "Learning dialogues" between the equity panel and results teams led to a better understanding of equity issues and how to improve the indicators to better measure equity conditions. The process highlighted the need to consider equity as a guiding ideology and political purpose in indicator projects.
Pmiuk feb 2020 webinar stakeholder engagement for infrastructure projectsPMIUKChapter
Stakeholder Engagement (not management) is one of the factors considered to be critical for project success, yet it is under-represented in the bodies of knowledge and other “best practice” standards and methodologies.
As one of the “soft skills” it is often left to be implemented at the discretion of the Project Manager and their team, and therefore is under-resourced. It is often responsive, rather than pro-active.
Based upon current research and recent case studies, this webinar will provide an overview of the International Association for Public Participation spectrum (IAP2) and discuss when each element of the spectrum could and should be applied.
Enroll America aims to enroll more than 16 million uninsured Americans in new health coverage options made available by the Affordable Care Act. It will execute a national enrollment campaign using various engagement strategies and sharing best practices. Research shows many uninsured Americans are unaware of the new options or skeptical they can afford coverage. Enroll America's messaging will focus on financial security, affordability when tax credits are considered, and the benefits of preventing financial ruin from medical costs. It will target key demographic groups and work with partners at the national, state, and local levels to maximize enrollment.
The document discusses strategies for outreach and enrollment in health insurance plans under the Affordable Care Act. It notes that enrollment begins on October 1, 2013 and outlines a two-fold strategy by Enroll America to maximize enrollment. Key points include:
- Enroll America aims to enroll at least 15 million uninsured Americans by promoting best practices and a national enrollment campaign.
- There will be a single, streamlined application process across Medicaid, CHIP and private plans regardless of whether a state expands Medicaid.
- Most of the uninsured are located in 13 states and are more likely to enroll with in-person assistance. Safety net providers are well-positioned to help with outreach due to existing relationships.

This document discusses quality measures for oral health care programs. It defines quality of care and outlines six aims for improving health care identified by the Institute of Medicine: that care should be safe, effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient and equitable. Several key determinants of quality dental care are described, including structural adequacy, access, technical skills, communication, documentation, coordination, patient factors and outcomes. The document then discusses various approaches to quality assurance, including continuous quality improvement models, quality measurement, and examples of specific metrics used to monitor oral health programs.
This document discusses the benefits of community-based dental education programs for students, patients, and providers. It notes that upcoming accreditation standards will require more community-based experiences and exposure to diverse patient populations. Data is presented showing the productivity and experiences gained by dental students through community partnerships in Ohio. Benefits for schools include a greater range of patient experiences while benefits for community partners include a sustainable workforce and sharing of resources. Potential disadvantages include increased bureaucracy and changing educational priorities.
This document discusses best practices for safety net dental practices. It recommends establishing clear goals and measuring outcomes to demonstrate improved patient health. It also recommends creating a sustainable practice that provides quality care, is affordable for patients, and is a good place to work. The document outlines principles from the IOM for improving oral health, including increasing accountability, prevention, health literacy, and decreasing disparities. It provides examples of best practices such as managing no-shows, emergencies, self-pay patients, scheduling, and quality assurance.
The document summarizes the mission, measures, means, and feedback processes of the Dental Center of Northwest Ohio. The mission is to provide oral health services for low-income children and adults, promote oral health education, and advocate for those with limited access to care. Measures include appointment wait times, lab cases, prior authorizations, referrals, no-show rates, treatment completion rates, and exam types. Means include staffing, facilities, supplies, communication materials, and a private practice business model with daily scheduling and production goals. Feedback informs adjustments to improve processes.
The document describes an ambulatory care center that provides various health services to low-income, uninsured, and underinsured patients. The services include internal medicine, pediatrics, women's health, pharmacy, dental, and specialty clinics. The center aims to provide healthcare, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and education regardless of patients' economic status. As a teaching facility, it also provides medical education and training. The dental clinic specifically provides onsite, mobile, inpatient, emergency, and surgical dental services. It measures performance through various metrics to ensure consistent, continuous, and high-quality patient care as well as resident education.
The document discusses models of medical-dental integration and collaboration, from separate locations with little communication to more fully integrated models. It outlines barriers to integration like separate education and different reimbursement systems. Effective models coordinate care, screen and provide preventive oral health services. This improves access and outcomes while reducing costs through early prevention and intervention.
Community Health Center Growth: Opportunities and Challenges - Shawn Frick - as presented at The Strengthening Ohio’s Safety Net Roundtable April 29, 2011. For more info, visit http://www.healthpathohio.org/
Community health centers face both opportunities and challenges in their growth. Opportunities include $60-92 million available in 2011 for expansion funding and grants from programs like the Facility Improvement Program. However, health centers also face challenges in integrating with other providers to coordinate patient care as requirements increase under health reform. Effectively responding to both opportunities and threats will be important for health centers as the healthcare system continues to evolve.
