detailsofthechapter.docxWelcome Week 14 Chapter 24: Preparing research proposals & Chapter 25: Evidenced-Based practice
Greetings class,
I am working to have all assignments graded as soon as possible. It is going to take me a little longer this week as I am going through quite a bit of papers. Thank you everyone for your time and dedication. I can tell you from my personal experience as a student the importance of proof reading prior to submission. We are all human and at times are subjected to errors. So, take your time and read everything prior to submitting your assignments, overall great job everyone. As we progress into Week 14, thank you and maintain your course, you will soon cross the finish line towards completion.
Respectfully,
Dr. Graham

Chapter 24 – Research Proposals
During your time as a scholar or professional, there may come a time that you may want to conduct a study. However, it is imperative that you present a proposal to a committee for permission, funding, or in the case of academia, (IRB approval). How will you convince others to allow you to advance your research study.
Tappen (2014), does remind us of the daunting task associated with proposing our research. However, the benefits are tremendous. The feedback for grant reviews may not always be what the proposers want, their expectations may be dismantled. Revisions and resubmissions are a part of the process for submitting a proposal. Unless, one is discouraging, it can be a repetitive process. It will take time to perfect grant writing skills, however, please remain confident as the more you do this, the more you will perfect the process and will become successful.

Chapter 25 – Evidenced Based Practice
I believe that everyone in our class has at one point or another in their professional careers have encounters evidenced-based practice initiatives. By now in this course, you have come to realize that research is the foundation for evidenced-based practice initiatives.
According to Tappen (2014), the ultimate outcome of nursing research is to apply its findings to solidify or improve practice. Our clinicians and patients are the biggest recipients of this initiative. Continued application of evidenced based initiatives will strengthen the ties between research and practice. These practices increase the nurse’s knowledge of associated research. The continued usage of evidenced based practice will improve practice outcomes, saving money, providing added protection, and most importantly mitigated malpractice.

Levels of Evidence in Research (When conducting research for evidenced based practice, it is always best to seek the highest or best levels of evidence. Seek the link below. However, there are fewer articles at the top of the pyramid, but they are the best and will yield the best results to support your evidence.

Discussion # 8
Due Saturday at 2359 (Worth 1 Point)
Remember to post your initial discussion and follow up with two of your colleagues on separate days. Refer to the grading rubric below.
This is a two-part research question:
Part One:
Think about an issue at your current place of practice. What is that issue and how would you submit a research proposal?
Part Two:
Identify a policy/procedure at your workplace that you would like to improve through evidence-based research or discuss one that has been improved because of evidence based research.
