100.0 % Problem Description -- Describe the background of the problem. Identify the stakeholders/change agents and list the interested parties. Provide the PICOT question. State the purpose and project objectives in specific, realistic, and measurable terms. Develop an initial reference list.

No discernible problem description and/or objectives are provided The problem selection rationale is not addressed or minimally addressed. Expected changes before and after the evidence-based practice are not addressed or are minimally addressed. Work reveals inaccurate comprehension of material and lacks the ability to apply information. Subject matter is absent, inappropriate, and/or irrelevant. Initial reference list is missing. Surface errors are pervasive enough that they impede communication of meaning. Inappropriate word choice and/or sentence construction are used.

Work addresses the problem description and objectives but not all components. Alignment is difficult to discern. The problem is not in the correct format. Objectives are lacking measurement or may be ambiguous; The problem selection rationale is not addressed or minimally introduced with no supporting details. Expected changes before and after the evidence-based practice are listed. Work displays a lack of comprehension but attempts to apply information, and develops only a partial initial reference list. There is weak, marginal coverage of subject matter with large gaps in presentation. Frequent and repetitive mechanical errors distract the reader. Inconsistencies in language choice (register), sentence structure, and/or word choice are present.

Problem description and objectives are stated but may not be fully developed or aligned. The problem is in the PICOT format but not appropriately developed. Objectives are measurable but may be ambiguous. The problem selection rationale is present but the significance is unclear. Expected changes are briefly introduced. Work exhibits comprehension of the material and clearly attempts to integrate and apply information, and develops an initial reference list. All subject matter is covered in minimal quantity and quality. Some mechanical errors or typos are present, but are not overly distracting to the reader. Correct sentence structure and audience-appropriate language are used.

Problem description and objectives are presented and tie together, and identify the stakeholders/change agents, who or what organizations are concerned, may benefit from, or are affected by this proposal. The problem is in the PICOT format and developed appropriately. Objectives are measurable. The problem selection is justified using literature. Expected changes are outlined. An initial reference list is developed. Work demonstrates integrative and accurate comprehension and applies information as appropriate. There is comprehensive coverage of subject matter. Prose is largely free of mechanical errors, although a few may be present. A variety of sentence structures and effective figures of speech are used.

Problem description and objectives are presented in detail and align, and describe the stakeholders/change agents, who or what organizations are concerned, may benefit from, or are affected by this proposal. The problem is in the PICOT format and developed appropriately. Objectives are measurable. The problem selection is justified using literature and supportive examples, not just based on the most current evidence. Expected changes before and after the evidence-based practice are integrated. Work develops an initial reference list, demonstrates clarity and specificity of comprehension, and synthesizes all relevant information. Coverage extends beyond what is needed to support subject matter. Writer is clearly in command of standard, written, academic English.
