Write a research proposal for a feasibility report. The audience is whoever will be funding your research. This will be an unsolicited proposal and can be either an internal or an external report. You must convince someone that a problem exists and that he or she should fund your research to discover a solution.

N.B.: You are asking someone for money to look into a problem (the big report). You do not need to come up with a solution to that problem yet. Your task here is convince your audience to FUND YOUR RESEARCH. Add an abstract at the beginning of your proposal.

Use the form in Markel’s Structure section (pp. 428-35 [10th 449-56]). Include the following items:

1. Summary(Abstract)

2. Introduction (give background about your problem here)

3. Proposed Program (this is NOT your solution!–save that for your big rpt. . . .

Instead, here talk about your problem and your plan for researching it. Include:

Methods–how you’ll look into it . . . and . . .

Resources–what items you’ll need to do your rsch.– for instance, office space, library budget,

a staff asst., perhaps a new computer, paper, ink, etc.)

4. Qualifications and Experience (why you are the best person to look into this problem)

5. Budget (be detailed/specific; be realistic about costs–this is where dollar amounts should go)

6. appropriate Appendices (include a Task Schedule here; a References sect. is not necessary)

Set the proposal up as a report, not as a memo. (It will be double spaced.) Your proposal will be similar to the sample on pp.436-42 [10th 457-62], but keep in mind that some sections will differ, since you are writing a grant proposal. Note that the sample does not follow the order listed above.

For grading criteria, refer to the writer’s checklist on p. 443 [10th 463]. You will also be responsible for having narrowed your topic sufficiently and for addressing a real-world problem with cost-benefit analysis.

–Length will vary, depending on amount

of preliminary research and other considerations (Avg.= 6-7 pp.)

Discuss what you feel are the potential benefits of stem cell research for Alzheimer’s patients and their families. Share your perspective on the stem cell debate regarding donation of surplus embryos to couples for “embryo adoption.”

/in /by

Some consider fair access to health care a moral right, while others disagree. We have defined the term moral right as “a privilege to act in some specific, intentional manner or to obtain some specific benefit because one is a moral agent living in a community of moral agents under a shared moral standard.”

  • Is access to health care a moral right?
  • Why or why not?

2. Stem cells are undifferentiated, primitive cells with the ability both to multiply and to differentiate into specific kinds of cells. Stem cells hold the promise of allowing researchers to grow specialized cells or tissue, which could be used to treat injuries or disease (e.g., spinal cord injuries, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, strokes, burns).” (Slevin, 2010)

Choose ONE of the following issues and post to its thread with supporting evidence. Respond to two peers who wrote about issues other than the one you chose.

  1. Discuss what you feel are the potential benefits of stem cell research for Alzheimer’s patients and their families.
  2. Share your perspective on the stem cell debate regarding donation of surplus embryos to couples for “embryo adoption.”
  3. Why is the task of disposing unused frozen human embryos different from disposing of other medical tissue?

Answer both questions above and all its parts. answers are simple answers with APA references.

Performance measurement provides the project manager with visibility to make sure he is operating within the approved time and cost constraints and that the project is performing according to plan

/in /by

Need a 500-word paragraph that speaks about:

Project performance measurement and project closure items:

· Evaluate project performance measurement.

 

When a successful company invests time, money, and other resources in a project, its primary concern is always what it is getting in return for its investment. It is the responsibility of the project manager to ensure these projects stay on schedule and within their approved budget. Performance measurement provides the project manager with visibility to make sure he is operating within the approved time and cost constraints and that the project is performing according to plan. It also alerts management if a project begins to run over budget or behind schedule so actions can quickly be taken to get the project back on track.

 How will project oversight impact the organization? How will it impact the project manager?

/in /by

 Write a 700- to 1,050-word executive summary to your organization’s leadership team answering the following:

· Introduction 

· What is project oversight?

o The purpose of project oversight is to ensure the project is proceeding on time and on budget – and of more importance, that problem is identified early so that corrective action may be taken while the cost to correct the issues are manageable.

· How will project oversight impact the organization? How will it impact the project manager?

o Project oversight impacts an organization because after the project is completed then the project team can review and assess any issues that may have arisen during the execution of the project. Then the project manager is aware of the issues and then makes changes accordingly. This will hopefully not affect the project budget.

o Oversight methods implemented toward the project manager centralize responsibility and accountability, thus impacting performance and control of the projects.

· What is the importance of project oversight to the future of project management?

o By keeping detailed records of projects will help with future projects of the same kind. Also, you can account for risks seen and unforeseen because there is a reference point.

· Conclusion

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.

What is the goal of terrorism?   What threat does terrorism (domestic or international) actually pose to the US homeland today?   Should the US be spending so much money and other resources on this threat?   Do you agree with Lepore that “the mystical war against communism finds its counterpart in the mystical war on terrorism.   Mystification leads us to exaggerate threats and ignore costs”.    Why or why not?   Make sure you back up your comments with facts from our videos/readings.

Essay (15%)
This part of the assignment will require you to analyse and discuss your topic – it is not just a
presentation of facts and evidence! The paper should be approximately 1650 words in length and
must follow MLA formatting and citation guidelines throughout. The final paper must also
contain the following elements:
– An introduction, conclusion, and clearly identifiable thesis statement
– Main discussion section: 4-7 paragraphs of evidence, analysis, examples, expert
testimony etc.
– MLA style bibliography that includes a minimum of 5 sources. At least 3 of these
sources must be academic/scholarly in nature and each source must be cited at least once
in the body of the paper.
PLEASE NOTE: No more than 30% of your paper may be another’s referenced works or ideas

thoughts, then this constitutes a breach of academic honesty/integrity and could result in a grade
of 0 on the assignment.
Interview (5%)
You will answer questions about your research project during a 10-minute Zoom interview with
the instructor. This is your opportunity to demonstrate your understanding of your chosen topic
and your knowledge of the course content in a format other than writing. Interviews will be
scheduled during class time in weeks 13 and 14.

this topic, the chosen chapter from Vowel MUST be cited in your final paper.
2. Research the way(s) that Indigenous Peoples are portrayed in the news today and relate
your findings to the arguments that Chelsea Vowel presents in Indigenous Writes. If you
choose this topic, you must provide an analysis of a MAXIMUM of TWO news stories.
The news stories do not count as scholarly sources. Please note: if you choose this topic,
you must cite Vowel in your final paper.
