COURSE: Public Health Program Development
TOPIC: Elements of a Grant Proposal
Students will use the required textbook to develop a four section summary of a grant proposal. The proposal topic should be a relevant public health issue (e.g., physical activity, childhood obesity, smoking cessation) and have a priority population or target group (e.g., pregnant women, residents of senior housing, middle-aged). Proposals should be responsive to that of an existing (i.e., cu
ent or past) funding opportunity (e.g., request for proposals, request for application, mini-grant).
Overall, the proposal must convince the prospective funder of two things: 1) that a problem or need of significant magnitude exists, and 2) that the applicant proposal provides a relevant and realistic evidence-based solution addressing the problem or need. APA 6th Edition in-text citations and references are required.
Grant Proposal Four Sections: 1) Problem; 2) Program Goals and Objectives; 3) Methods and 4) Evaluation.
1) Problem (Suggested Resources: Textbook Chapters 1-5 & Figure 2.1 Creating a Rationale)
This section presents evidence that a problem or need of significant magnitude exists.
·
· Detailed and relevant uses of secondary data (e.g., statistical evidence) to thoroughly and clearly describe the overarching health problem and its impact on the priority population
· Relevant data includes all of the following: death, incidence, prevalence, mo
idity, and mortality rates; data demonstrating the economic burden of the problem; cultural considerations; data on social problems related to the heath problem
· Detailed and relevant problem statement
· Defines the community problem to be addressed and the need in the geographical area where the organization operates
· Related to the purposes and goals of the applicant agency
· Very reasonable dimensions for proposed solution
2) Program Goals and Objectives (Suggested Resource: Textbook Chapter 6-9)
This section provides the evidence-based plan for addressing the problem or need identified that is aligned with the grant guidelines and scope.
·
· At least one SMART objective for each problem or need committed to in the problem statement
· Describes the population that will benefit from the program
· States the time by which objectives will be accomplished
· Objectives are measurable and quantifiable
3) Methods (Resources: Textbook Chapters 10-12)
This section describes the activities to be conducted to achieve the desired objectives. It also includes the rationale for choosing a particular approach. Generally, a straightforward, chronological description of the operations of the proposed project works most effectively. The methodology section should meet the following criteria:
· Flows naturally from problems and objectives
· Clearly describes program activities
· States reasons for the selection of activities
· Describes sequence of activities
· Describes staffing of program
· Describes clients and client selection
· Presents a reasonable scope of activities that can be accomplished within the time and resources of the program
· Provides a timeline of activities
4) Evaluation (Resources: Textbook Chapters 13-15)
Proposals must include a plan for determining the degree to which objectives are met and methods are followed. This section is extremely important as funders pay particular attention to evaluation methods since they need help determining whether a proposed project represents an intelligent investment for them. The evaluation section should meet the following criteria:
·
· Presents a plan for evaluating accomplishment of objectives
· Presents a plan for evaluating and modifying methods over course the program
· Tells who will be doing the evaluation and how they were chosen
· Clearly states evaluation criteria
· Describes how data will be gathered
· Explains any test instruments or questionnaires to be used
· Describes the process of data analysis
· Shows how evaluation will be used for program improvements
· Describes any evaluation reports to be produced

1) Problem
Overarching Health Problem 
Childhood obesity is becoming a significant source of worry not just within the neighborhood, but also nationwide as well as internationally. In recent years, there have been a number of findings and relationships, which link obesity in children to a range of biological and psychiatric conditions (Lanigan, Tee & Brandreth, 2019).
In order to be classified as obese, one must have extra excess weight and an incidence of obesity (BMI) more than or equal to 30kg/m2, which is at or above the 95thpercentile on the weigh-gender factor. There have been a number of ramifications from the numerous genetics and environment, which have contributed to the rise in obesity and overweight. 
Relevant Data
Additionally, various initiatives have been created to assist prevent and ameliorate the growing incidence of childhood overweight and obesity, with the aim that this would lead to a reduction in grownup obesity. According to some estimates, at least 25 percent of American children are categorized as overweight (BMI 25 and >30), while the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC) estimates that 18.5 percent of American children in the same age groups are obese (BMI 30).
It is estimated that around 70% of children who are fat, as children will continue to be obese throughout adulthood (Larque et al., 2019). As per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there is a statistical association between childhood overweight and obesity and race, with Blacks and Hispanics having the greatest pervasiveness and non-Hispanic Asians having the lowest incidence rates.
Detailed and Relevant Problem Statement
When particularly in non-contemporaries, advanced countries appear to have the maximum incidence of obesity as well as diabetes (World Health Organization, 2018). A further finding is that academic performances appear to have an impact on levels of obesity, with a similarity between a high obesity rate and a lower occupational status; individuals without a high school degree have a higher rate (35.6 percent), and adult women with a university degree have a lower rate (27.7 percent).
Community Problem to be Addressed and Need in Geographical Area where Organization Operates
Millions around the world are suffering from an epidemic of obesity, which is a serious public health concern. Overweight or obesity refers to a person's size range that is more than the optimal weight that is deemed healthy for that patient's stature. Childhood obesity is a growing concern that has ramifications for the healthcare and quite well of children and young adults (Smith, Fu & Kobayashi, 2020).
The body mass index (BMI), which is an unit of mass weight in relation to elevation, has been used not only as an assessment instrument to evaluate obesity, but it is also a helpful anatomical and physiological measurement of heart disease risk in certain situations. 
Related to the Purposes and Goals of the Applicant Agency
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has also disclosed that there is a relationship among both economic factors and adolescence unhealthy lifestyle, with a decrement in preponderance with an increment in intellectual ability and average earnings, as well as a higher incidence with declines; in academic achievement and income level. When comparing lower socioeconomic level families to better income households, it was found that economically disadvantaged backgrounds families consumed 22 percent less vegetables.
In particular, for single-parent homes and low-income households, processed meal choices are often less expensive than healthier products, which may explain the decline in vegetable intake. There is a link between the growth in children obesity rates and the development in both sets of parent’s full-time jobs, which is another whole other pattern in obesity prevalence (Lindberg et al., 2020). This has been related to the purchasing behavior of prepared foods, which have a tendency to have a higher moisture content and salt level than their unprepared counterparts.
Very Reasonable Dimensions for Proposed Solution
The BMI of children under the age of 2 and 19 is projected on the CDC trend line in order to validate the proper age and gender frequencies and percentages for each age group. When a child's body mass index (BMI) is more than the 95th percentile for children of the same age and gender, it is considered obese (Kim & Lim, 2019).
The categorization of childhood obesity is based on the body composition of the kid, just as it is based on the child's age and gender. Children become obese when there is an imbalance between the number of calories they consume and the number of calories they burn throughout the day (growth, development, metabolism, physical activity). 
Normally, when a youngster is not engaged in physically active activities, the quantity of calories burnt via food and drink increases, resulting in obesity. Genetic, behavioral and environmental variables all have a role in the development of obesity in children. Obesity in children may have a variety of causes.
2) Program Goals and Objectives 
SMART Goals
The purpose of SMART's obesity initiatives is to lower the obese population in the United States by implementing a more nutritious diet regimen, according to the organization. A number of objectives must be met in order to achieve this aim.
After six months, the purpose is to be achieved. It is predicted that the majority of individuals would lose 210 percent of their starting weight by using a healthy diet.
