Case: The assessment for this course is to construct a grant proposal that targets a current area of developmental, behavioral, or diagnostic need for your community's children or adolescents. The final project represents an authentic demonstration of competency because it requires you to apply concepts from across the child and adolescent curriculum to compose an original grant proposal for a theoretically supported, age-specific, and effective intervention program. Some terms grant proposals commonly use include problem identification, prevalence, assessment of resources, the impact of the problem, and implementation plan. The critical elements listed in the prompt reveal the meaning of these grant terms. The prompt asks you to devise a grant proposal to submit in the field of psychology. Grant proposals may request funding for research, training, institutional upgrades, nonprofit center grants, funding opportunities, grants for children's programs, or grants for specific outreach programs, such as engaging underrepresented cultures. This task aims to assess your understanding of concepts from across the child and adolescent curriculum.
In Module Seven, you will submit a draft of your grant proposal's Intervention Strategy and Implementation Plan section.
Intervention Strategy: Research and justify the selection of a theoretically supported and effective intervention strategy for addressing the target issue (2-3 pages):
Efficacy: Analyze and critique at least two evidence-based intervention strategies for inconsistencies and effectiveness. You can find examples of evidence-based intervention strategies in the course readings.
Critically examine intervention strategies for consistency with current developmental theories.
How effective were these strategies in addressing their respective issues? To what extent would these intervention strategies address the issue identified in your community?
Selection: Select one evidence-based intervention strategy and justify your selection based on its effectiveness and the individual, familial, environmental, cultural, and political factors. Your strategy should be appropriate for your age-specific population.
Ethics: Analyze the selected evidence-based intervention strategy for possible ethical and legal issues from the perspective of the provider and from the perspective of the client. Refer and cite as needed an appropriate, relevant, professional code of ethics such as the Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct.
Implementation Plan: Construct a plan for implementation of the selected intervention strategy in your community (4-5 pages):
Narrative: Compose a narrative to describe the setting, personnel, target population, length of time for service, and capacity of the proposed program.
Training: Formulate and thoroughly describe a strategy for personnel training according to the selected intervention strategy.
Assessment: Recommend and thoroughly describe an assessment plan to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention strategy.
Ethics: Assess the ethical and legal implications of implementing the intervention strategy in your community. Refer and cite as needed to an appropriate, relevant, professional code of ethics such as the Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct.
