Planning
Provide a comprehensive program plan that includes the following:
• Objectives that are measurable improvements in behavior, performance, process, or a tangible item that will result from your program. The
objectives should not be just a list of activities needed to achieve the final goals but should be markers for how to measure the success of the
proposal after implementation. Refer to the module resources on crafting SMART goals for support.
• Ethical and legal considerations, including a review of the four ethical principles (autonomy, nonmaleficence, beneficence, and justice), ensuring
appropriate social responsibility of your proposal.
• Financial considerations, including any potential financial impact your proposal will have for the organization and an evaluation of the required
resources to implement and sustain your proposal.
• Anticipated issues-related outcomes and your plan to address them. Be sure to address the anticipated effect on internal policy and operations.
• A timeline for meeting program objectives.
