Students will select a planning framework that they will use to structure and organize the planning process. Students should follow the selected framework as they move through the planning process. Regardless of which framework is used, however, students must address each of the sections listed in these guidelines.
This assignment is the Final Project which should consist of both of these revised Reports plus the additional items listed in these guidelines for the Final Report that I will put instructions to you and upload related files to read and write according to it.
General directions:
Document Format
? All papers must be submitted as MS Office Word documents, using a 12-point font, double-spaced (line spacing set to 2.0) and with page numbers centered at the bottom of each page. The margins should be 1 inch on all sides.
? The title of each report, section titles and order are specified below. You must use the section titles as listed in these guidelines. Do not skip sections or make-up your own titles. All titles should be bolded and sections numbered (using Roman numerals) as shown in the guidelines.
? The first page of each report should be the title page that includes the following information in this order:
o Report title
o Community Partner
o Target Population
o Health Issue
o Student?s name
o HLTH 619 Seminar Spring 2012
o Date submitted
Content: The content that must be included in each report is specified in these guidelines. Do not skip sections and address each point listed.
Writing Style, Sources and APA Format
? Use proper grammar and spelling. Proof-read your papers, as points will be deducted for these errors.
? All reports must be written in a scholarly manner using proper APA format (6th edition).
? Credible sources appropriate for academic writing should be used to support your narrative. Follow the guidelines for credible sources bellow. Your sources must be cited in-text and using a reference list following APA format (6th edition). A minimum number of sources is specified for each report. Do not use Wikipedia as a source.
Credible Sources for Academic Writing
Many sources, particularly online, are not appropriate for academic writing. Use the following criteria to evaluate the credibility and appropriateness of the sources you are planning to use. Do not use sources that do not meet these criteria.
1. Authorship and Credentials: What person or group wrote the content and what are their credentials? If you can’t determine who the author is readily and what their credentials are, then don’t use it. Keep in mind, the author could be a group or organization. Go to the home page or the ?About Us? page and look for this information.
2. Dates: When was the content written or last updated? There should be a date on the page, usually at the bottom, telling you when the content was last reviewed or updated. This is usually not the copyright date. Sometimes this date might be on the home page in a note stating when the entire site was last reviewed. If you can’t find the date, don?t use the source because you don?t know exactly how old it is or if anyone is bothering to keep it current. If you are using the source for statistics, it should not be older than five years. Otherwise, generally use sources that are not older than ten years.
3. Documentation: Is the content referenced? Were citations used? Evaluate where the author got the information used to write the content on the site. If they don’t tell you or you don’t see a reference list, avoid using the site as your source unless you know the credentials of the author. For example, the CDC and NIH don’t always provide a reference list on every page, but usually this information is linked. Sometimes you may find a site that does not meet all the criteria, but the site provides a bibliography. Instead of using the site, go to the primary sources listed in the bibliography and use those. This way, you’re getting the information from the “horse’s mouth” instead of a re-hashed interpretation from a third or fourth party.
4. Sponsorship: Who is sponsoring (paying for) the site? Do not use commercial (.com) sites since their main purpose is to sell or advertise something, and you don’t know how or if this is affecting (spinning) the content.
5. Do not use Wikipedia. Do not use .com (commercial) sites
Citation Format and Writing Style
? APA format, 6th edition, must be used for all graded writing assignments.
? Please submit all papers as MS Word documents (.doc).
? The line spacing of your papers should be 2.0 (double-spaced). Type your papers using a standard 12-point font.
? Your paper must not consist of more than 10% direct quotes. This means that no more than 10% of your writing can consist of direct quotes from sources. (Quotes from stakeholder or potential participant interviews will not be included in this percentage.) Generally, you should paraphrase and summarize the information in your own words and cite the source using APA format. This demonstrates your understanding and synthesis of the information.
? Using feedback from Dr. Barton, you will revise Report #1 and Report #2. The Final Project will consist of both of these revised reports, plus the items described in the guidelines. The Final Project will be 25 – 30 pages long, NOT including the title page, reference list, or appendices.

Report #3: Resources and Budgeting
Using feedback from Dr. Barton, you should revise Report #1 and Report #2. Your final report should include your revised Report #1 and Report #2, in addition to the following sections, which comprise Report #3.
13. Identification and Allocation of Resources
Personnel:
? Identify internal resources, external resources and combined resources that you will need to implement your program (see McKenzie et al., 2009, pp. 262 ? 269).
? Identify and provide a rationale for the use of program, service, or consultant vendors. You may use the checklist in McKenzie et al., 2009, pp. 267 – 268 to construct your rationale.
? Identify any staff from a partner agency/organization that you plan to share in order to implement the program (e.g. clerical worker, health educator, etc.).
Facilities:
? Identify each facility you will use to implement your program and where it is located.
? Indicate whether the facility will be purchased, built, leased, or donated.
Instructional Resources:
? Identify instructional resources that you plan to use, and indicate if they will be developed in-house, purchased, or obtained through other means. If any of these will be purchased or obtained from outside sources, be sure to cite your source appropriately using APA format.
? Explain the rationale for your decision about what instructional resources to use. For example, if you plan to use a pre-existing curriculum or instructional resource, explain the advantages of doing this.
Equipment and Supplies:
? Identify the equipment items you need and how you plan to use them. You can group the equipment items together when discussing their use (e.g. computer equipment, clerical supplies, food for snacks, etc.).
? Indicate whether the equipment will be purchased, leased, or donated. Be sure to thoughtfully consider these items because you will enter them into your program budget later
Income sources:
Identify and describe specific income sources for funding your program and provide the estimated income to be obtained from each source. Examples may include in-kind donations, grant funding, fee for service, and/or re-imbursement from insurance, Medicare/Medicaid. If you plan to use grant funding to support your program, include the request for proposal (RFP) notice in an appendix.
14. Budget
? Construct a budget for your program (see the budget worksheet and resources on BlackBoard and in McKenzie et al., 2009, pp. 280-282). The budget should identify specific income sources (e.g., participant fees, third party support, cost sharing, grant funding, etc.) and estimate projected expenses. Remember to include not only expenses related to conducting your program, but also any expenses related to the evaluation. You should plan to cover the cost of doing an evaluation in your budget.
? Place your budget in the appendix.
? In the body (narrative) of your report, discuss the highlights of your budget and then refer to it in the appendix where it is located.
? If you decide to include grant funds, the grand must be applicable to your program and a copy of the require for proposal (RFP) notice must be included in an appendix.
15. Evaluation Plan
? Create an evaluation plan for your program. Identify and describe the main purpose for the evaluation (see McKenzie et al., 2011, pp. 336-340).
? Describe who will conduct the evaluation (e.g. internal or external evaluator or a combination of the two) and provide a rationale for your choice (see McKenzie et al., 2010, pp. 345-346).
? Briefly address any ethical issues or concerns that you will need to consider in planning and conducting your evaluation.
