Biology - Ecology [u06a1] Week 6 Assignment: Developing a Logic Model 8030

The ethical practice in grant writing is to establish a firm understanding of the problem

and potential solutions, and to communicate that in a clear and concise manner. Creating a

logic model for your project will help you accomplish this clean, concise communication

tool. Our logic model will begin with identifying the problem in a clear statement.

Once you have identified the problem and completed the problem statement, use the

LogicModel Template [DOCX] linked in the Resources to do the following:

1. Identify two root causes leading to the identified problem.

2. Support each root cause with 2 data sources. The data should legitimize the

root cause and its connection to the problem.

3. Describe 2 local conditions that align to each of the data sources identified (4

sources total).

4. Support each local condition with a data source (existing or potential). The data

should legitimize the local condition and its connection to the root cause.

5. Identify 2 strategies to address each of the local conditions identified in step 3.

6. Finally, for each strategy identified above, create ameasurable outcome. This

outcome should increase or decrease by some percentage for each year of the

grant.
