THIS ASSIGNMENT IS TO PROPOSE A PROJECT IDEAD AND EXPLAIN WHY IT MIGHT BE ATTRATIVE TO FUNDERS. You also distinguished it from other projects that have tried to solve the same problem or meet the same need. With consideration to feedback received from your colleagues in the Discussion, and to your continued review of the literature, in this assignment you will finalize your project idea. In deciding upon a project, it is important to consider carefully the breadth of elements that will be addressed in the proposal. Although you will not have worked out all the issues yet, you should have confidence that you will be able to resolve them. From this project idea, you will continue through the steps of writing a grant proposal. With project ideas in mind, read the literature and familiarize yourself with evidence-based practices associated with the problems you are seeking to address. Determine what is currently being done to solve or mitigate these problems. This step is extremely important in determining how or if to proceed with your own project idea.
At this point in your review of the literature, it is also a good idea to begin thinking about how you will support the need in your proposal. Proof of need might include numerical data/statistics (e.g., client-related, local, state, national). In other cases, surveys and/or focus groups might be required for collecting preliminary data that will support the need.
