GRANT PROPOSAL EXAMPLE 2
Executive Summary
The executive summary is the first section read by the individuals or committee members
screening hundreds or thousands of grant requests. The executive summary is the first screening
you must pass through for further consideration. If the executive summary does not provide
sufficient information in a concise manner and isn’t relevant for the decision maker, your
proposal will likely be tossed out of the competition for funding. Executive summaries are
directed toward the busy chief executive of the funding organization. The length should not be
more than one page
Your executive summary should include the following: (1) topic sentence, (2) clearly and
concisely stated purpose of your proposal, and (3) stated thesis. You should include at least three
supporting sentences which should answer who wants to do what, where, when, how (research
method you will use) and why (importance of your research). Make a convincing
argument/proposal as to why this funder should fund your research over other applicants. You
should write your executive summary last because it should sensibly be connected to other
sections of your proposal. Your executive summary should be similar to your last section
(conclusion/summary section).
GRANT PROPOSAL EXAMPLE 3
Statement of Need
State the need in the community or health care setting that your research will fulfill. Provide
background information to your specific project (Hint: Use your literature review). Include
evidenced based decisions for why your research will (re)solve an existing or potential problem
or gap you identified during your review of the literature on this topic. Use correct APA citations
to mention the most relevant items or facts you found and how they led you to propose your
hypothetical research project.
Background
The statement of need section should be at least one page long in order to provide
sufficient history of other research conducted on this topic, or the lack of research, which led
you to want to conduct research to add to the existing body of knowledge. You will find writing
this section somewhat familiar, it is very similar to a short form of the literature review you just
finished. While you should not cut and paste your entire literature review here, you may certainly
use parts of it. If there is a dearth of literature, your project can propose a novel remedy/solution
to solve a health science problem. Executive really like to make their mark by having their name
attached to a great solution, treatment, or therapy.
This section sets up the specifics of your proposal, especially how you’ll conduct your
research which is discussed in the project description. As you assess and analyze the review of
literature, or previously conducted research, you should evaluate the original source’s:
Topic
Goal
Study purpose
Study objectives
Operational definitions if necessary to define variables or health outcomes under
investigation
Research method utilized
Measured outcomes
Study strengths and limitations
Report main points/arguments
Assessment of source’s reliability and biases
Usefulness to your research compared to others sources included in the reference section
Students should evaluate how the article/source fits within your topic of interest, how the
research has shaped your argument, and how you think about the topic (importance,
challenges, etc.)
GRANT PROPOSAL EXAMPLE 4
Project Description
In this section you will provide specific information regarding your proposal including:
Who is conducting the research
Where is the research being conducted
Study duration or time period
How the study is being conducted (describe which study design is being used)
Why is the proposed research design being used?
The project description should be at least one page but less than three pages in length.
Your proposed research design type (cohort, case-control, etc) should be clearly stated. We’ve
listed some useful guides for you in designing your design type. Please choose one design from
the following examples.
Here are considerations you should be aware of when setting up a Cohort Study Design.
Here are considerations you should be aware of when setting up a Case-control Study
Design.
Here are considerations you should be aware of when setting up a Randomized
Controlled Trial.
Here are considerations you should be aware of when setting up a Practice Guideline. A
good example of practice guidelines are recommendations put forth by the United States
Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), such as Breast Cancer Screening Guidelines
(mammograms) .
Here are considerations you should be aware of when setting up a Systematic Review.
Here are considerations you should be aware of when setting up a Meta-Analysis.
Include epidemiological terms you learned during this course, particularly descriptive
epidemiology describing person, place, and time specifics of your proposed study. You will need
to be persuasive in presenting your proposal, remember, you are arguing in favor of your
research proposal over a plethora of other submissions. Grant funding is extremely competitive!
Use of Descriptive Epidemiology in your proposal
Researchers
You want to describe the use of minimal research personnel in your organization (you),
as well as existing secondary data sources. There are plenty of secondary data sources (data
gathered by federal and state organizations and agencies), which you can download and use,
however, remember there are benefits and limitations. Using clinicians in your study increases
their work burden as well as drains on your financial resources.
Population
GRANT PROPOSAL EXAMPLE 5
Describe the population, including population characteristics, under study in your
research project.
Place
State the geographical location your population resides and where they access their health
care (hospital, outpatient facility, nursing home, etc). State where the intervention program will
be conducted and the duration of the intervention (6 months, 1 year, etc.).
Supplies/Equipment
State the supplies or medical equipment needed for your research, as well as software you
may need to access sources of data. Examples of equipment and supplies include medications,
transport vehicles, needles, computer software, etc.
Financials
Although financial budgets were discussed in the tutorials you do not need to include
financial information or research budgets for your project. Development of budgets is beyond the
scope of this course.
GRANT PROPOSAL EXAMPLE 6
Conclusion
The summary is the final portion of your grant proposal. It is important to describe how
the findings of your study will contribute to the larger and existing body of knowledge that
currently exists in your area of study. The conclusion is a last, closing remark which should
remind the reader and evaluators of grant proposals that your research or project will increase
some benefit both to patients and the funder(s). The conclusion should be less than one page in
length.

References
Place references in alphabetical order per APA format. You need to include at least 6 scholarly
journal articles for this project. A review of APA reference style and formatting can be found
