Wk 1 Assessment Prep: Approval of Initiative and Funding Source Wk 1 Assessment Prep: Approval of Initiative

In this course, you will work to develop a grant proposal focused on a selected issue and initiative. You will add components to your grant proposal for this initiative each week in preparation for the final summative assessment in Week 5.

In this assignment, you communicate your selected topic (criminal justice issue and initiative to address the issue), as well as a funding source to pursue with your grant proposal. As you select a topic, think small; do not try to solve large global or societal problems. Focus your topic on an issue that is currently relevant in a local community. You may write a grant proposal for an agency where you work or volunteer, or for a different organization in need of a grant. 

Obtain faculty approval for your choice of topics for your grant proposal by responding to the questions below in complete sentences. Address faculty feedback until your final topic is approved.

Which specific criminal justice issue did you identify as a problematic situation? Which community is affected by this issue? How will the initiative that you selected address this issue? Cite your sources.

Which funding source have you selected to pursue to meet the needs of this initiative with your grant proposal? Provide a link to the funding source.
