Thank you 

This week, you begin work on your Final Project. The Final Project consists of three written assignments that culminate in the submission of your grant proposal to your Instructor in Module 6. Parts 1, 2, and 3 will focus on major elements required of all proposals. In the final Grant Proposal Submission, incorporating the cumulative feedback you receive from your Instructor, you will compile these elements into your grant proposal.

The three parts of the Final Project are:

• Part 1: Needs Statement, Goals, and Objectives (Due Module 3)
• Part 2: Methodology and Evaluation Plans (Due Module 4)
• Part 3: Budget, Budget Narrative, and Sustainability Plan (Due Module 4)

The final Grant Proposal Submission is due in Module 6.

For this Assignment:

• Review the Final Project Guidelines located in this module’s Learning Resources.
• Download a copy of your selected RFP. You will use this document to guide, focus, and support the development of all parts of your Final Project. Keep in mind as you complete your Final Project assignments that you are writing in accordance with the requirements of the RFP. You must also include the use of evidence-based practice in the literature review.
• Consider Module 2 – Discussion 2 feedback given by your colleagues and instructor and your continued evaluation of the literature and funder guidelines; then finalize your needs statement, project goals, and objectives.
• Keep in mind that the needs statement must prove that it addresses funder interests as well as establish the specific problem the proposal will address.

Keep in mind that objectives must be specific and measurable and lead directly to your goals.

In 3–4 pages, excluding APA references, address the following:

• Write your Needs Statement. Substantiate the need by presenting proof of need. Keep in mind that the Needs Statement must reflect best practices in grant writing.
• Next, using bullets, list your goals, then your objectives, and finally your evaluation criteria for each one.

*Goal #1
*Goal #2
*Goal #3

*Objective 1
*Objective 2
*Objective 3

*Evaluation Criteria #1,n
*Evaluation Criteria #2,n
*Evaluation Criteria #3,n

It is imperative that your needs statement, goals, objectives, and evaluation criteria align.

For example, Goal #1, Objective #1, and Evaluation Criteria #1 must align and collectively meet the needs statement.

When developing your objectives, use the SMART objectives framework; list each of your project objectives.

• Project objectives must be specific.
• Project objectives must be measurable.
• Project objectives must be achievable.
• Project objectives must be realistic.
• Project objectives must be time-based.

• The HR Consultant

Introduction

The line manager in your organization wants to terminate a long-term tenured employee due to the lack of productivity and improvement over the past six months. Your job, as the organization’s HR generalist, is to meet with the employee to fully understand both sides and possibly mediate a solution. In this meeting, you are collecting information on the problem, testing out some of your own theories, and giving and getting feedback to the employee and recording reactions to it. Your goal is to jointly define the problem and make plans to address it.

Tasks

• Explain your expectations and goals to this employee.
• Develop questions to determine the root cause of the problem.
• Analyze legitimate concerns that this employee might have that would excuse his or her low productivity.
• Explain how to control the conversation if this employee loses control or if the conversation goes in the wrong direction.

To support your work, use your course and textbook readings and also use the South University Online Library. As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.

Submission Details

• Create a 3–5-page Word document.
• Name your file as SU_HRM5090_W2_Project_LastName_FirstName.

Sometimes, during heated discussions and debates about social policy, the underlying reasons for the policy go unnoticed. Advocates and policymakers may become so committed to their perspectives and to winning the debates that they lose focus on the larger context surrounding an issue. The purpose of policy is to improve the lives and well-being of individuals and groups in our society. As you assume the role of a social work policymaker, consider the importance of keeping the needs and experiences of vulnerable populations at the forefront of your mind in your advocacy efforts. This can help to assure effective policy practice.

For this Assignment, you will analyze a state, federal, or global social welfare policy that affects an at-risk, marginalized, oppressed, underrepresented, or over looked group population. Finally, consider the impact of social policy from the perspective of the group you selected.

Assignment (5-7 double-spaced pages, APA format). In addition to a minimum of eight scholarly references, which may include electronic government documents and reputable websites, your paper should include:

• A description of the current policy approach for addressing the social issue you selected
• A description of the current policy goals for addressing the social issue you selected
• A description of the population the current policy approach covers
• An explanation of the funding levels for the current policy approach and whether they are sufficient to address the issue
• An explanation of how this policy may affect at-risk, marginalized, underrepresented, overlooked, or oppressed populations. Identify a specific at-risk population.
• An analysis of whether or not the policy meets the needs of the population groups most affected by the policy.
• Recommendations for alternative policies that would address the gaps identified in the policy. Please be specific in recommendations.

You need to find a peer reviewed journal article, that has been published within the last 5 years. A peer reviewed journal article is an article published in a peer review journal only after it has been reviewed by numerous experts in the field.  This review is to make sure the article is not rubbish and provides useful information.  

If you using websites, remember many websites that information comes from are suspect in terms of factual and unbiased information. In a nutshell, never use Wikipedia, About.com, Answers.com, or similar websites.  Though some .com sites are acceptable, most students have trouble identifying whether they can be trusted, so an easy guideline to follow is to avoid them. Websites ending in .gov, .net, .edu, .org, and so forth are typically more trustworthy than a .com source.

Your written assignment is point heavy (190 points).  It will be a very intensive paper and there are specific sections which need to be addressed.  To help provide an organized paper, APA headings must be used.  Below I included information on how to format the headings.  

APA HEADINGS

APA Style uses a unique headings system to separate and classify paper sections. There are 5 heading levels in APA. The 6th edition of the APA manual revises and simplifies previous heading guidelines. Regardless of the number of levels, always use the headings in order, beginning with level 1. The format of each level is illustrated below:

APA Headings: Level  Format

  1. Centered, Boldface, Uppercase and Lowercase Headings

  2. Left-aligned, Boldface, Uppercase and Lowercase Heading

  3. Indented, boldface, lowercase heading with a period. Begin body text after the period. 

  4. Indented, boldface, italicized, lowercase heading with a period. Begin body text after the period. 

  5. Indented, italicized, lowercase heading with a period. Begin body text after the period.
