Instructions
Continue writing the grant proposal and include the following required content:
Introduction: Provide a brief introduction that describes the following:
Introduce the paper’s purpose and the importance of the practice change project.
Describe the intended accomplishments and long-term project goals.
Provide a brief and defining statement of what will be discussed in the paper.
Interventions/Approach
Provide a synthesis of evidence to support the evidence-based intervention for the selected problem. Include 3 current Level I, II, or III peer-reviewed primary research studies and/or systematic reviews.
Synthesis of the literature (maximum of 2 paragraphs)
Use a synthesis of research evidence when writing this section of the paper.
Synthesize the main themes and salient points that emerge from a synthesis of research evidence.
Compare and contrast the main points from a synthesis of research evidence.
Presents an overarching synthesis of evidence about the intervention.
Provides objective rationale for the intervention based on the literature.
Includes a minimum of three peer-reviewed research studies that support the intervention. Enter these on the Johns Hopkins Individual Evidence Summary Tool.
Data Collection Instruments
Describe the data collection instrument(s) you intend to use to measure the outcomes of the project. If collecting the data from the EHR, discuss the details of who will collect the data, how, and the specific data to be collected. Include the data about the reliability and validity for surveys and questionnaires if used.
Data Collection Methods
Describe the method or process for data collection including how often measurements will be taken. Describe how, when, where, and who will collect the data.
Outcomes (Evaluation Plan)
Explain the primary outcome for your evidence-based intervention.
Explain how the success of the project will be evaluated when it is fully implemented. This is a discussion about the outcome and the relationship between project success and the outcome(s).
Protection of Participants
Examine potential risks to the participants.
Budget
Explore areas where you may have expenses associated with your grant proposal (specific dollar amounts are not required).
