Resource development is a major responsibility for human services administrators. Identifying sources of funding for a particular program is an essential part of resource development. Grants are one of a variety of sources from which human services organizations draw funding for programs. If you search the Internet, you are likely to find plenty of information about a variety of available grants. Federal, state, and local government agencies, as well as private entities, such as foundations and corporations, offer grants. Search the Internet for available grants and identify one grant to use for this Journal Assignment. Think about human services programs for which this grant might be beneficial.

By Day 7

Post in your Journal a description of a human services program with which you are familiar. Next, post a link for the grant you identified. Explain why you believe this grant would be beneficial to the program, and how. Finally, share an insight you had or a conclusion you drew about identifying available grants.

Suggested length: approximately 250500 words (12 pages).

    2. Write the full proposal to conduct a project based on the project idea.
            Submit the proposal for grading.
            Conduct/execute the project.
    3. Write the post-implementation report, which describes project outcomes.
            Submit the capstone paper for grading.

In this stage, I need assistance with completing item 1 from the list above. Please help fill out the highlighted items on IT Capstone Topic Form.docx. I have included a sample -IT_Capstone_Topic_Approval_Form_Sample.pdf  to help chose appropriate topic.

Concept Map

Develop a concept map for the individual patient, based upon the best available evidence for treating your patient’s health, economic, and cultural needs.

Narrative
Develop a narrative (24 pages) for your concept map.

Analyze the needs of your patient and their family, and determine how those needs will influence a patient-centered concept map.
Consider how your patient’s economic situation and relevant environmental factors may have contributed to your patient’s current condition or affect their future health.
Consider how your patient’s culture or family should influence your concept map.
Justify the value and relevance of the evidence you used as the basis of your concept map.
Explain why your evidence is valuable and relevant to your patient’s case.
Explain why each piece of evidence is appropriate for both the health issue you are trying to correct and for the unique situation of your patient and their family.
Propose relevant and measurable criteria for evaluating the degree to which the desired outcomes of your concept map were achieved.
Explain why your proposed criteria are appropriate and useful measures of success.
Explain how you will communicate specific aspects of the concept map to your patient and their family in an ethical, culturally sensitive, and inclusive way. Ensure that your strategies:
Promote honest communications.
Facilitate sharing only the information you are required and permitted to share.
Are mindful of your patient’s culture.
Enable you to make complex medical terms and concepts understandable to your patient and their family, regardless of language, disabilities, or level of education.

This is the Methodology (Chapter III).  Please see the below for instructions for writing the Methodology.

This chapter should describe how the data will be collected for the research (i.e. original “bench type”, survey or peer reviewed data from published sources of data collected from various government or other databases) that after analysis WILL ALLOW YOU TO MAKE A COMPELLING ARGUMENT TO ACCEPT OR REJECT EACH RESEARCH HYPOTHESIS.  It is important to utilize appropriate methods of data collection in order to be able to support or reject the research hypothesis.  This chapter should begin with a description of the research methods used in the research, including a description of the dependent and independent variables, if any. 

Chapter III (Methodoloy) will most likely include the following subsections:

Setting:  if important to the research, described the time and place of data collection.

Description of the Subjects:  depending on the type of data used in the project, this subsection can include either subjects involved in primary data collection, or those described in published research studies. If the project involves human subjects, it is necessary to first obtain their consent in writing..

Description of the Research Instrument (s):  fully describe all questionnaires and tests, if appropriate.  Include a copy of questionnaires in the Appendix.

Procedures:  describe in full detail how data were collected.  If different methods were used, each method must be described.  This subsection should also include a description and rationale for any statistical procedures used to support or reject the research hypothesis.

Topic: Select one industry of your choice in Europe. Identify and explain how the policies of the European Union have contributed to increase or decrease the profits of the businesses in that industry.

Industry: Transportation.

Format: the minimum length is 7 pages single-spaced and the maximum length is 15 pages single-spaced, font 12. Report all tables and figures at the end of the paper. The length does not consider the appendices with tables and figures. Use as many tables and figures as you need. Use the reference style that you prefer as long as you cite the sources both in the text and at the end of the paper in a reference list.

Evaluation Criteria:

    Evidence reported. Collect as much evidence as possible from articles, news, reports, databases, to provide rich data displaying the change in profitability of businesses and to validly and reliably support your arguments explaining how the policies of the European Union have impacted the profitability of the businesses in the industry. Report all the evidence in the reference pages at the end of the paper.

    Clarity of the arguments. The profitability of businesses could have increased or decreased for a multiplicity of reasons. You have to develop compelling and convincing arguments that establish a clear attribution of causality to the policies of the European Union and not to exogenous factors that could have exercised an influence.

    Originality of the arguments. You are tasked to develop your own critical perspective. If you find an article that already makes the analysis for you and you only report the ideas taken from this article, you will not have provided any critical thinking or personal contribution. Whenever you are relying on an argument developed by an external source, cite every time and clearly the source of the information. Never misattribute an argument, by making it appear as yours while, in fact, the thought was borrowed from an external source. Misattributing an argument is a serious flaw and will result in a significantly lower grade. 

    Primary data. Cite in the paper the primary sources of information clearly identifying who you have talked to and reporting the thoughts.

Ethical Conflicts

A patient under the care of your agency committed suicide, and you are in charge of the adverse incident review of this case. Considering the stakeholders in your agency (clients, providers, management, third-party payers, etc.), what are the potential ethical conflicts that may arise from your role investigating this incident, and what would you do to appropriately discharge your ethical duties?

When you discuss the potential ethical conflicts, provide evidence from the scholarly articles you read for this week and/or reference specific, relevant ethical standards from the from the National Organization for Human Services.

When responding to your peers original postings, review the conflicts they selected and elaborate upon them by commenting on their approach and/or making suggestions.

Please provide an initial substantive answer between 400 words in length.

Heterosexism is defined as “the discrimination or prejudice by heterosexuals against homosexuals” (merriam-webster.com) and is predicated on the belief that being heterosexual is the norm and the only accepted type of relationship.

Everyday heterosexism is exemplified in our media, our policies, and daily practices. By making these assumptions, social workers can be in part culpable for the oppression and marginalization experienced by the LGBTQ community.

As a profession, social work embraces diversity and strives to ensure equal rights for all. The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) is committed to supporting the needs of these groups and, in turn, they created the National Committee on Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Issues. During this week’s discussion you will be asked to consider how one’s own personal views on sexual orientation may clash with the profession’s stance.

Post a scenario of how a social worker’s personal, ethical, and moral values in relation to the LGBTQ community might conflict with those of their clients. Explain the distinction between personal ethics and values and professional ethics and values evident in the social work profession in addressing this community. Be specific and explain how this distinction relates to the scenario you posted. Also explain how prejudice and bias might create barriers to fulfilling your professional responsibility to the LGBTQ community.

Bearing witness to trauma has its own set of consequences. Watching repeated episodes of bullying can evoke strong emotional and behavioral responses from an adolescent. During the impressionable stage of social development in adolescents, these experiences can contribute to a change in perception about the ways people should and do treat each other. Furthermore, ongoing exposure to this behavior can jeopardize an adolescents healthy social development. For this Discussion, consider how the act of bullying experienced by one adolescent may change the experience of another who witnesses it.

Post a scenario that illustrates how bullying experienced by one adolescent may change the experience of another who witnesses it. Then address the availability of any social work intervention, skill, or practice that might change this cycle of events. Please use the Learning Resources to support your answer.

Bullying is not a new phenomenon, but social media and communication technologies have introduced a breadth and depth to which public shaming, targeted taunting, and bullying have manifested. For this Discussion, consider how bullying has changed and how it has remained the same in light of modern technology.

Post an explanation of one moral development theory and its connection to the act of bullying. Be sure to frame your explanation within the context of cyber and other bullying that persists in social media and communication technologies used by adolescents. Also explain how bullying has changed and how it has remained the same in light of modern technology. Please use the Learning Resources to support your answer.
