Report

The final assignment requires you to build upon the topic area and study objectives from Assignment 1 and develop a hypothetical health promotion intervention in the format of a grant proposal. This will involve incorporation your literature review and objective from Assignment 1 into performing a needs analysis (including background literature, an analysis of the health problems, and consideration of the context in which yor are proposing the intervention); setting intervention goals/objects; planning strategies for achieving these goals; and identifying the means of evaluation objectives.

You may choose any topic area and geographic context you wish, as long as you can justify the public health importance of the health outcome as part of your proposal. You may choose to continue working on the same (or similar) topic area that you addressed in Assignment 1, but this is not imperative. In order to keep the scope and scale of the proposal realistic, you need to ensure that your budget does not exceed $200k per year and can be completed within 3 years.

Structure your report using the following headings (sub-headings can be defined as needed):

  1. Aims and Objectives
  2. Background and rationale
  3. Proposed action plan
  4. Anticipated outcomes and significance
  5. Strategies to evaluate outcomes
  6. Proposed timeline
  7. Proposed budget, and justification of budget
  8. List of references
