University of California Expand the County Ombudsman Program Grant Proposal

The Final Paper will be in the form of a Grant Application. This can be done on your own or with a student partner. You may select the grant topic that was related to your Letter of Inquiry. Here are a few examples of previous final exam papers: a grant for a new Adult Day Health program, funding for a feasibility study to develop a PACE program, support for a grandparent mentoring program, and a grant to expand the County Ombudsman program.

The Paper/Grant Application should include:

1) A brief introduction of the topic with 3 or more relevant references from peer reviewed journals (not websites or lay magazine articles) and should be approximately 350 to 500 words long. Do not cut and paste material from websites.

2) An explanation of how the proposed project will add something beneficial to the community. This should be approximately 500 words long. 

3) A discussion of how your program is different from existing programs in the community. This should be approximately 300 words long. 

4) An outline of your proposed project with the timetable for completion of the project. This should be approximately 1000 to 1500 words long. 

5) A description of how you plan to evaluate the success of your program. This should be approximately 250 words long.

6) A detailed budget for your proposal with an explanation of each item. 7) Extra credit for innovative projects.
