This assignment provides you the opportunity to demonstrate the knowledge you have gained in your MPH program studies.
You will now set your sights on the actual grant application process. Based on the research you conducted in the Required Assignment (RA), you will now complete a grant application (FOA) for the public health intervention you have identified previously.
First, confirm that your chosen FOA intervention supports one of the MPH coursework areas of concern to you (as listed previously in the RA). The FOA associated with this public health intervention will be used as the basis for your grant application.
Conduct research, analyze the subject matter, and synthesize your findings to include the following steps in your grant application: Complete all instructions for your chosen FOA very precisely (that is, provide every form or piece of information required). Complete all written pieces in a formal and logical manner.
Construct all forms or documents in a highly professional manner and in the required format (neatness and professional looking work is necessary). Submit the overall completed grant application along with all required forms and documents to your instructor. Do not submit the application to the organization.
Special Note: Please include all the actual elements to be addressed as required in the FOA, which may vary from topic to topic and agency to agency. Some FOAs require that a standardized form be used and some require a combination of forms and a Microsoft Word document with verbiage. Generally, APA formatting does not apply, other than for proper grammar and spelling.
Read the FOA instructions carefully, as they will be checked for completeness. Write an 8-12-page report in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.
Section A: Population of Focus and Statement of Need
1. Identify the individuals to receive mental health awareness training, the population of focus for which the training is intended to help, and the geographic catchment area where training and services will be delivered (15 points). (Note: applicants who choose to train veterans, armed services members, and their families will receive up to 5 additional points).
2. Describe the extent of the problem in the geographic catchment area, including service gaps, and document the extent of the need (i.e., current prevalence rates or incidence data) for the population of focus identified in your response to IN THE PAPER ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS - A.1. Identify the source of the data. 20
Section B: Proposed Implementation Approach
1. Describe the goals and measurable objectives (see Appendix F) of the proposed project and align them with the Statement of Need described above in A.2. State the unduplicated number of individuals you propose to train (annually and over the entire project period) with grant funds.
2. Describe how you will implement the Required Activities as stated in Section 1-2. 3. Provide a chart or graph depicting a realistic time line for the entire three years of the project period showing dates, key activities, and responsible staff. These key activities must include the requirements outlined in Section I-2: Expectations. [NOTE: Be sure to show that the project can be implemented and training can begin as soon as possible and no later than four months after grant award. The time line must be part of the Project Narrative. It must not be placed in an attachment.]
Section C: Proposed Evidence-Based Service/Practice
1. Identify the evidence-based practice(s) (EBPs) that will be used for mental health awareness training. Discuss how the selected EBP(s) is/are appropriate for the individuals being trained and for the population of focus, and the outcomes you want to achieve. Describe any modifications that will be made to the EBP(s) and the reason the modifications are necessary. If you are not proposing any modifications, indicate so in your response.
Section D: Staff and Organizational Experience
1. Describe the experience of your organization with similar projects and/or providing services to the population of focus. Identify other relevant community agencies and programs you will partner with in the proposed project, including their experience providing services/resources to the population of focus and their specific roles and responsibilities for this project. [(NOTE: Letters of Commitment (LOC) from each relevant community agency must be included Attachment 1 of your application. If you are not partnering with any other organization(s), indicate so in your response.)
2. Provide a complete list of staff positions for the project, including Key Personnel (Project Director) and other significant personnel. Describe the role of each, their level of effort, and qualifications, to include their experience providing services to the population of focus and familiarity with their culture(s) and language(s).
Section E: Data Collection and Performance Measurement
1. Provide specific information about how you will collect required data for this program as specified in Sections I-2.2 and I-2.3 and how such data will be utilized to manage, monitor, and enhance the program.
