HLTH 553 GRANT PROPOSAL ITEM 2 & ITEM 3 Grant Proposal: Item 2 - Statement of Need In Module/Week 2, you will submit a 1-page Statement of Need as the first part of your actual Grant Proposal. Remember this item is critical. It should be a comprehensive, coherent, and concise description of the problem your organization faces and written in a way that is persuasive and encourages a Grant Maker to want to partnership with your organization to solve it. If you chose Option 1 during Module/Week 1, the most difficult part of this assignment might be getting your organizational contact to identify the actual Need. In my experience, having the contact person narrow down his/her need can be time consuming. Talk to him/her early and often about this issue so you can complete the assignment on time. If you chose Option 2 during Module/Week 2, you have some creative writing to do. Pick a logical need for your fictitious organization based on its Mission Statement. Dont create a monstrous, multifaceted need with a large, involved budget. If you do, it makes the other assignments of the Grant Proposal more time consuming to complete. Finally, be sure to read the sample Need Statements in the textbooks and consider modeling your submission after one of them. There are some exceptional examples, and consider modeling your submission after one of theirs. This assignment is due by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Sunday of Module/Week 2. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Grant Proposal: Item 3 - Project Description This section is often the bulk of a Grant Proposal and requires a great deal of thought, planning, and purposeful writing. The first step is to write a series of objectives to solve the problem you identified in the Statement of Need. The objectives need to be chronologically ordered and specific. A combination of behavioral, performance, process, and product objectives are recommended. (If you chose Option 1, your task is to: gather the data from your contact person; organize his or her thoughts on how the Project will proceed once the money is awarded; synthesize the information; and write a coherent and concise description for the Grant Proposal. If you chose Option 2, its more creative writing on your part.) Then from the project objectives, you need to identify and explain the day-to-day activities to implement your organizations solution. Be sure your activity list is comprehensive. For example, if you plan to hire new staff, think through all the issues to get this process done (e.g., advertisement, interviews, background checks, references check, etc.) and the time it will take to complete the hiring process. You also need to keep in mind two other issues. First, that your objectives are the items to be assessed in the evaluation component of the Grant. Secondly, when you create your budget summary, the individual line items will reflect the costs associated with the activities that are fulfilling the objectives. Dont forget to use a timeline table in your Project Description. Whether its a Gantt chart or a similar table illustrated in the one of the textbooks, it serves a valuable function to the Grant Makers readers.
