Group Project Instructions

You will be placed into a group by the instructor. The Group Discussion Board will be used for collaboration and discussion. The group will evaluate a current public health issue within its assigned cultural context and work together to design methodologies to address the issue. Each team will create a workable solution which would be acceptable to the target population. The group will research the condition and the contributing cultural determinants. The group will then develop a program proposal to address the problem. The proposal must include goals, objectives and a preliminary budget to implement the program. The budget should be presented in a tabular format identifying expected start-up expenses and potential funding sources. The good news is that the Liberty Health Mission Board recognizes your dedication to excellence and has offered $10,000 to each group to help the initiatives. It isn’t much, but it is a start. Remember the parable of the talents. Invest wisely and leverage your investment to advance your agenda. A good program evaluation strategy is always a part of funding requests and will provide the core to the project report generated to maintain accountability to the donor organizations.

The final solution will be presented as a 12–15-slide PowerPoint presentation with presentation notes. Each notes section at the bottom of each slide must be 250–350 words in length. Assume that the group will be presenting the PowerPoint to its potential partners. The final product must be polished and suitable for presentation in a standard size boardroom (roughly 20’ x 30’). This assignment will be a true test of the group’s ability to demonstrate competence on all course outcomes. The grade will be determined by a combination of instructor and peer evaluations.
