Congratulations! You have a new position at a local non-profit organization. For your first task, you are to apply for one of two [made-up-but-realistic] opportunities below on behalf of your agency:
1) The Institute of Mental Health Justice is offering up to $100,000 to evaluate a program that serves individuals with mental health needs involved in the criminal justice system. Identify a state or local program to evaluate and write a program evaluation proposal.
2) The Bureau of Mental Health Assistance will pay up to $1 million to implement a community program to effectively serve individuals with mental health needs involved in the criminal justice system. Identify a program to fill a gap in your community and write a program implementation proposal. This should be a new local initiative, not an expansion of an existing local program.
Your final paper will be either an evaluation proposal OR a program implementation proposal.
The grant proposal outline should demonstrate an initial understanding of the topic specified and serve as a guide to complete the proposal. Provide a high-level outline of your proposal between 1-2 pages (see Examples Download Examples).
