Preparation

By this week, you should have a grant selected as a potential funding source for the criminal justice initiative

that you selected for this course's grant proposal.

Download and review the Grant Components Guide. This guide has been customized to reflect your summative

assessment outline components and will help you get a better idea of how to organize your outline so that you

can focus on the content required for the grant. Identify the components of the grant proposal that would be

required for its submission to the selected funding organization. At a minimum, you should include the

components required in the Wk 5 Summative Assessment: Grant Proposal. Locate the answers to the questions

in each section of the guide to prepare to write an outline of the information about the grant.

Assessment Deliverable

Compile information about the components of the grant that you selected in an 875- to 1,400-word outline as if

you were a grant writer seeking approval from your agency's Chief to write a grant proposal. Include the

following in your outline in complete sentences:

Briefly describe the criminal justice initiative that you selected in Week 1 as your focus for the

grant proposal you are writing throughout this course.

Identify the funding source you selected in Week 1 and provide a link to the grant.

Write a 175-to 350-word needs statement for the grant. Describe the following in your statement

of need:

What is the current situation and one of the main concerns about the problem? Who is

affected by the problem? Who would benefit from this grant?

How does the initiative support the funder's goals? What will be the positive outcome of

the project if the grant is issued to your agency?

Are there potential challenges to the successful completion of this project? Why should

the funder make this project a priority and take urgent action?

Explain the key information for each grant component listed in the Grant Components Guide. In

your explanation, include answers to the questions in the guide.
