new health promotion initiative (while you may refer to previous or current reports, you are required to come up with your own initiative). Several lectures and embedded activities prepare you for this assignment throughout the unit.

Details

The final assignment requires you to build upon the topic area and study objectives from Assignment 1 and develop a hypothetical health promotion intervention in the format of a grant proposal. This will involve incorporating your literature review and objectives from Assignment 1 into performing a needs analysis (including background literature, an analysis of the health problem, and consideration of the context in which you are proposing the intervention); setting intervention goals/objectives; planning strategies for achieving these goals; and identifying the means of evaluating objectives.

You may choose any topic area and geographic context you wish, as long as you can justify the public health importance of the health outcome as part of your proposal. You may choose to continue working on the same (or similar) topic area that you addressed in Assignment

1, but this is not imperative. In order to keep the scope and scale of the proposal realistic, you need to ensure that your budget does not exceed $200K per year and can be completed within 3 years.
Structure your report using the following headings (sub-headings can be defined as needed):
1. Aims and objectives
2. Background and rationale
3. Proposed action plan
4. Strategies to evaluate impact
5. Anticipated outcomes and significance
6. Proposed timeline
7. Proposed budget, and justification of budget
