For this assignment, you’ll locate statistical data to include in your case statement for the project you’re proposing. This assignment is similar to the one you completed for the Donor Proposal Letter, and it relies on many of the same resources and strategies. The best sources of data will depend largely on the nature of your project, but in general you’ll want to use data to demonstrate that there is a need for the specific type of project you’re proposing in the specific area you intend to serve. You might also gather some data to demonstrate that similar projects have been effective in other areas. Keep in mind that it’s best to provide data from a mix of sources and that graphic presentations of data may sometimes be the most effective.
The UM Library offers a research guide on Statistical and Data Resources that includes links to a number of fairly comprehensive data banks at both the national and local level.
Don’t forget that you can use our library to find academic research that might support your case statement. Start with OneSearch, and try out different combinations of keywords until you find articles that seem promising, and then mine those articles for useful information. This strategy will be especially helpful if you’re developing a research project proposal.
Keep track of data as you gather it, making note of any relevant statistics and their sources. Your goal is to submit at least five pieces of statistical data, properly attributed, for this assignment. To attribute a statistic to its source, make use of an “according to” phrase or some other form of simple citation. This data will serve as the basis for your case statement in the Grant Proposal. This assignment is worth a total of fifteen points, which will count as part of your class participation grade.
Your submission should include:
Five (5) discrete statistics that demonstrate the need for your project and its potential impact, ideally from a mix of local and national sources
