| Grant Proposal |
| One of the things you will discover in this class is that a great deal of work in
today's changing public sector occurs in groups, teams, and interagency work groups.
Typically you have little control over who you are assigned to work with.
Accordingly, it is important for you to learn how to work effectively in groups.
Accordingly, during the first few weeks of class you will be randomly assigned to a project
team. Your assignment is to develop a grant proposal that responds to the following: |
| |
|
|
| |
| This assignment requires that your team undertake the
following tasks: |
| |
 | Submit a pre-proposal: Short 1 - 2 page summary of the
proposed project. It is not graded but the more details you
provide, the more comments you will receive |
| Written proposal: Limited to 10 single-spaced pages plus
attachments. It should be professional in nature |
| Presentation: Limited to 10 minutes. It should be
professional in nature (e.g., use powerpoint, appropriate attire, well
rehearsed presentation, etc.). |
|
| |
| Following the presentations, each team will take
on the role of the agency that issued the RFP.
Your team will then review and rate the other group’s proposals
to determine which proposals get funded.
The grade for this project will be a combination of the quality of
the presentation and your written proposal. |
| |
| At
the conclusion of the assignment, you will complete a peer
evaluation form in which you rate the other group members
contributions to the project. If you do not contribute to the
project, your grade will be adjusted accordingly. |
