EOP (PTG) PROPOSAL

EOP (PTG) PROPOSAL

Language skills (Identifying needs)

If your proposal lacks a convincing need, it is probable that you do not have a compelling project, or so a funder may assume. Take the time to undertake thorough research and analysis to offer unequivocal statistics and compelling tales from real people in order to establish the emphasis and justification for your proposal.​

​

Make sure your needs statement sets the tone for the remainder of your proposal and allows you to demonstrate that there is a vital need in your community and that your suggested solution would make a difference.​

Language skills (Identifying needs)

[NOW YOU TRY!]

Use the following three questions to start writing your statement of need:

Open Ended

(1) What specific problem your project will address?

Open Ended

(2) Who is affected by the problem and how?

Open Ended

(3) What facts and statistics can be used to substantiate the problem and the impact on the affected population? (data gathered by your association or publicly available information)

Language skills (Proposing a solution)

Identifying potential solutions is a key method in proposal writing since it is part of logical problem-solving. Remember that the one solution you're offering may not appear clear or viable to the decision-makers to whom the proposal is intended, so it's a good tactic on your part to demonstrate that you've evaluated several options before settling on one.

Language skills (Proposing a solution)

You may find the following procedure useful in identifying potential solutions for your proposal:

 

• Create a list of all viable solutions to the problem. Allow your imagination to go wild.

• Reduce your findings to a few viable options.

• Make a list of the advantages and disadvantages of the viable options.

• Develop a list of criteria common to the plausible choices – and your suggested solution – based on the advantages and negatives, so that you may compare ideas using those common criteria.

• Write about potential solutions, examining them using your shared criteria.

For instance, with an upsurge in the homeless population in a small community and a desire to serve the needs of the homeless, city residents and visitors, and local businesses with respect, viable solutions and pros and disadvantages may include (and you may think of more):

 

[Sample 1] Offer a daytime refuge for the homeless people - presently, shelters are only available in the nights

Pros: might help reduce the number of homeless people on downtown streets.

Cons: expense, length of time to deploy; may not solve the amount of homeless people on downtown streets because attendance at a day centre is voluntary.​

[Sample 2] Establish and enforce anti-panhandling and anti-loitering legislation

Pros: no expense, pretty simple and quick implementation

Cons: does not respect the homeless people, does not provide a service, raises the expense of the public safety department​

Language skills (Proposing a solution)

[NOW YOU TRY!]

You are a volunteer health care assistance with a dilemma: your co-workers on other shifts aren't leaving the clear, precise notes you need to keep patient care going. Your recommended approach is to give training as well as detailed examples of what must be recorded in order to ensure consistent service delivery.

Open Ended

(1) What are some additional feasible options, together with their advantages and disadvantages?

Open Ended

(2) What criteria arise from your research into other solutions?

Open Ended

(3) Which of these ideas, based to those criteria, appear to be the most feasible?

Language structure (Using conditional tense)

Conditional sentences are statements that describe a "if-then" or "unless-then" condition (although the word "then" is not used) or a possibility. These phrases describe circumstances and their potential outcomes. Conditional sentences are frequently in used by academics to convey research study findings or as part of a research hypothesis statement.

 

(Types of Conditional Sentences)

There are five types of conditional sentences. It is important to understand each because each conveys a different meaning. Some conditional sentences refer to the general truths and others to hypothetical situations.​
