  • Grant project: Budget Assignment

    The Budget is a part of the proposal that tells the funder how you will spend the funds once you have been awarded the grant. This part of a Grant Proposal has two sections: the Budget Narrative and an itemized Budget Summary. The Budget Summary provides the line item cost for each item needed to implement the project, and the Budget Narrative provides a breakdown or reason for the cost of each item in the budget. The two sections often comprise 2 pages in the overall Grant Proposal. Funders typically provide applicants with the budget forms that can be filled out and included as an attachment in the grant proposal. The Budget Narrative is written first by reviewing the activities associated with the Project Objectives. In essence, you are reporting to the Grant Maker the anticipated costs for the steps of every activity fulfilling each objective. You are expected to provide real cost estimates…not guesses…as well as how you gathered the information. For example, was it by past experience, formal estimates by local contractors or mathematical formulas? Whatever your source, identify how you arrived at the cost of each line item in the Budget Summary. When you start the itemized Budget Summary, you need to plan for multiple conversations about budget. The need for a Grant to solve the organizations Need may have been discussed multiple times for many years with the board of directors and staff, but no one really sat down to consider the individual line items necessary to complete the Project that would solve the problem. You and you alone will conceptualize the Budget line items and the only real research work is to provide data supporting your line items. Instructions Create a Budget Narrative and Budget Summary for your project. The Budget Summary must be presented in a table using either Microsoft Word or Excel. Remember that the Budget Summary must reflect the objectives and activities of your project. Double check your totals within the budget table. Also make sure that the costs you provide in the budget table match the information you provide in the budget narrative. The textbook provides a good example. Length of the assignment: Both Budget Narrative and Budget Summary should be 1- page each. A title page and reference section should also be included. Format of Assignment: Use current APA style Number of Citations: Use at least 1 supplementary source Acceptable Sources: Use current data and references published within the last 5 years to support the itemized costs. Your assignment this week is to work on Grant Project: Budget which requires you to develop 2 items: a budget narrative and itemized line item budget summary for your program/intervention. The Narrative which provides an explanation of the line items in the itemized budget summary is written first by reviewing the activities associated with the Project Objectives. In essence, you are reporting to the Grant Maker the anticipated costs for the steps of every activity fulfilling each objective. You are expected to provide real cost estimates…not guesses…as well as how you gathered the information. For example, was it by past experience, formal estimates by local contractors or mathematical formulas? Whatever your source, identify how you arrived at the cost of each line item in the Budget Summary. Make sure that you double check your totals within the budget table. Also make sure that the costs you provide in the budget table match the information you provide in the narrative. Your textbook provides a good example of an itemized budget on pg. 124. I have provided a sample of a budget narrative so you get an idea of one way it can be done. Every funder has a specific way for the budget summary and budget narrative. Please do not use any pi-graphs for the budget. Put your line-item budget in a table. This assignment has 2 parts. You will need to include both items. See the Grant Project Item assignment for additional instructions. This assignment should be in APA style

    • Post an initial response (400500 words) that synthesizes your insights across these points.
    • References are to be within the last 5 years
    • Support your discussion with at least 3 scholarly sources.

    ***EXAMPLE ATTACHED ON TEMPLATE FOR DISCUSSION RESPONSE***

    2) Write 2 discussion responses – discussions are attached in a word document.

    DB Guidelines for Responding:

    If responding to another message, quote the passage you’re responding to or briefly summarize the message. Do not copy the entire message to which you are responding, unless it is very short. Detail specifically why you agree or disagree.

    All DB responses must be supported with properly formatted text citations and references. Be sure to provide support for your observations and conclusions from your reading and research by including properly formatted text citations and references for your DB responses. The resulting dialogue continues through the end of each week. There is, of course, no upper limit on the amount of discussion you may engage in. The responses to other learners’ postings should add to the substance of the posting, request clarification, provide a different perspective, or challenge the assertions made by providing real or hypothetical scenarios that the original posting does not adequately address. “I agree” or “good response” type of postings do not add to our collective learning and therefore do not count toward the participation requirement. Remember, the purpose of course discussions is to stimulate academic dialogue. At the same time, it is also good practice to provide positive, supportive comments. Everyone appreciates these. Timely postings are very important because they generate further discussion. Discussion board posts are only accepted during the week in which they are due.

    Critical Thinking: When preparing your responses to the Discussion Questions you are expected to demonstrate the highest levels (i.e., levels 4,5, & 6) of Bloom’s Taxonomy of Learning, which are:

    1. Knowledge: Observe and recall information.

    2. Comprehension: Grasp meaning and translate to new context.

    3. Application: Use information, methods, concepts, theories in new situations.

    4. Analysis: See patterns and organization of parts and recognize hidden meanings.

    5. Synthesis: Use old ideas to create new ones, generalize from given facts, relate knowledge from several areas, predict, draw conclusions

    6. Evaluation: Compare and discriminate between ideas, assess value of theories, make choices based on reasoned argument and verify value of evidence.

    When writing your Discussion Question responses remember to focus on the ability to think critically at the Masters level. Do not simply parrot back what the authors have said in the assigned reading or your research. Analyze, synthesize and evaluate what you have read into a clear and succinct summary of what the authors have said compared to your own experiences. Use properly formatted text citations and references to support and illustrate your observations and conclusions, but use them sparingly.

    Below I list some examples of high quality peer reviewed academic journals. Please select quality of journals to use:

    Academy of Management Journal Health Affairs

    American Journal of Public Health Social Science and Medicine

    Health Care Management Review Health Services Research

    The Milbank Quarterly

    Journal of Health Politics, Policy, & Law The New York Times

    The Journal of Management The Wall Street Journal

    Sloan Management Review Harvard Business Review

    Journal of Healthcare Management
