Developing an idea (need or responding to a problem)
Does it address a real need or problem? What kind of impact will it have?
WHAT is the problem? (ONLY 1) WHAT evidence do you have that this is a real problem?
(literature, statistics, test scores, your own research) WHO is affected by the problem? WHERE does the problem exist? WHEN do you plan to take on the project? HOW do you plan on solving the problem?
![Page 23: Grant Writing Wayne State University](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062814/5681684a550346895dde3da4/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Developing a Proposal Plan
Once you have an idea, develop a plan (Carlson, 1995)---Just map it out…
– Understanding of the problem– Brainstorm solutions– Identify solutions– Indicate expected results and benefits– Tasks to accomplish solution– Resources needed (personnel and nonpersonnel)– Reassess solutions – Reassess results and benefits– Outcome measures
![Page 24: Grant Writing Wayne State University](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062814/5681684a550346895dde3da4/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

To hone your problem statement
Define it. Clarify it What national, state, local statistics can support your
problem. Connect with an agency

Other concerns to address problem

what kind of success.
