Discussion—What You Write Counts

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is the premier public health agency in the United States and is considered an expert on all public health issues. Review the CDC website to learn how the CDC articulates information related to public health and how you can write a similar narrative in your grant or contract application. Visit this website at the following:http://www.cdc.gov/

Using the weekly readings, the South University online library resources, and the Internet, research the importance of writing a grant or contract proposal narrative.

Based on your research, respond to the following:

• Knowing that the “devil is in the details,” what specific steps will you take to make sure you have addressed everything required by a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA)? Explain your answer with the help of examples.
• Which of these steps will be the most difficult to execute and why?

Give reasons and examples in support of your responses. Be sure to cite any relevant resources.

Write your initial response in approximately 300 words.
