Project Details
- Project Title
- Project Summary (500 word max)
- Questions (300 word max for each)
- Why is this project necessary?
- What are the top three (3) outcomes that will result from implementing this project? An outcome is the desired end state that will be achieved by doing the proposed work. It is not a list of activities. For example, if seeking funding to expand a service line, do not list “hire an additional doctor” as the outcome, but instead use “care for more patients than last year” or whatever the health care achievement will be if the grant is awarded. We recommend using a logic model to outline the needed activities and funding to achieve a particular outcome.
- What metrics will be used to evaluate success or progress towards the above outcomes? Please not only identify the key performance indicators you plan to monitor (example: Number of patients receiving care), but also provide a goal value to each that would denote success (example: Number of patients receiving care increases by 20% in one year).
- How many patients will be directly affected by this project? Over what length of time? If your project does not have a direct service component, please explain in general terms the types of patients that could be impacted by the project.
- Does this project differ from what your organization has done in the past? If so, how?
- Are there other organizations within your service area doing similar work? If so, please specify and explain if/how this project differs from others.
