...DO NOT PLAGARIZE TUTORIAL ONLY. Program Planning and Evaluation Paper HSM/270 February 5, 2012 Program Planning and Evaluation Paper There are so many different human service organizations around the country today, that it may be difficult to see the commonalities and or differences within each, I myself have this issue yet I believe that the commonalities are what includes many agencies to be human service agencies and the differences are what makes up the plethora of agencies still considered human service branches. The Human service agency I chose to work with this block is the Peace Domestic Violence Agency, I am pulled towards this agency because I can see not only does this help abused spouses in a relationship but also children who are most often times the unseen victim. an agency such as this opens up the spectrum for so many that may need to be reached, and on many different levels from basic needs to counseling, from children's delicate needs to protection of a whole family when necessary. let's take these proven statistics as an example[ Every 9 seconds in the US a woman is assaulted or beaten, and Studies suggest that up to 10 million children witness some form of domestic violence annually.] ("domestic violence statistics," 2012) these statistics are very powerful, and eye opening. let's begin by establishing the mission of the peace domestic violence agency, which is [to reduce victim trauma, empower survivors, and promote recovery through direct...

...Program Planning and Grant Proposal HSM 270 Program Planning and Grant Proposal Working in human service fields certain individuals within the agency will be investing their time on program planning and grant proposals. Program planning is the first step in planning of a particular program in which needs funds. Program planning is a process with objectives, setting up goals and evaluation of all statistical data is measured. In this process of program planning; the team illustrates where a program or service might be needed in the community or city. It is a plan that someone or a group puts together so that the program function thoroughly. After careful ideas are secure in laid out on paper a grant proposal is the next step. The grant proposal must address the grantor’s goals, objectives and their main priorities. Through specific and clearly defined detailed information within the proposal would it be considered by the funders to be addressed. An application for a grant should include the following detailed information: 1. Table of contents 2. Abstract 3. Specific goals 4. Targeted area 5. Evaluation plan 6. Budget and budget justification 7. Community support Grants use the same basic information as with the planning of a program so that it can be approved. This process is one of the similarities between grant proposals and program planning. One difference is that a grant is a plan for money and a program plan is ideas that someone...

...Program Planning and Evaluation Paper Holly Regan HSM/270 May 25, 2014 Fedder Williams Program Planning and Evaluation Paper In comparison, each of the two components; program planning and program evaluation are related in the way that each is a theory based and goal-oriented activity. A program is a permanent and inseparable element of the planning process intended to achieve specific future goals. The methodical, yet necessary process of planning is important in designing programs to become an effective and efficient tool for human service organizations in conjunction with a systematic approach to descriptive research for meeting each presented goal. Descriptive research is designed to service clients, describe program characteristics, and other elements. It describes the use of facilities, community resources and other resources as well. It is also designed to study the relationship of association among various factors or variables and take into account the solicited views of a social issue or problem in program or policy design/planning process. Descriptive research provides a description of an observable fact or event or the relationships between two or more observable facts or events. Assessments vary categorically, but they can assess nearly everything and to the nth degree. Social programs are no different as assessments are utilized to produce data that is crucial for programs turning negative outcomes into positive outcomes. An assessment of needs plays...

...Program Planning and Evaluation Paper HSM/270 Program Planning and Evaluation Paper A program is, “an activity or outcome-driven target population service, which is most often change-oriented and time limited,” (University of Phoenix, 2007). A program as it pertains to the human service field is referred to as a ‘service’. In order for a program, or service, to be successful it takes an abundant amount of planning; coming up with strategies and goals, and evaluations of those in the future. While these are two separate things, if built properly, should coincide with each other and become more alike than different. This is especially true when dealing with a program such as the Madison Children’s Hospital, a service that will help many children and their families if organized and evaluated properly. Program planning and program evaluation are two separate entities that rely on each other to make a service program grow and be successful. Program planning is a developmental process in which goals are made in order to fix problems or better adhere to the needs of the service community. The plan takes into consideration what will happen in the future as well as what has happened thus far. It is put together in a design format and then will be assessed in the program evaluation at a later time. It needs to do a few specific things: it needs to identify the problem and provide a clear understanding, state who it is effecting and how severely, offer...

...Program Planning and Evaluation Paper Crystal Ingerson 5/1/16 HSM/270 Joan Butcher-Farkas Program Planning and Evaluation Paper Program planning and program evaluation are two parts to one goal. It is through program planning and evaluation that the attainment of program goals and quality of services are assessed. Program planning is defined as an organized process through which a set of coordinated activities or interventions is developed to address and facilitate change in some or all of the identified problems; thus, it is a means for development or change (Brooks/Cole, 2003). Only after the program interventions are implemented, then the performance and the attainment of intended objectives are then evaluated. Program evaluation provides useful information used for improving the programs and the service delivery systems (Brooks/Cole, 2003). Program planning and evaluation is very important when it comes to grant proposals. A grant proposal is a formal proposal submitted to a government or civilian entity that outlines a proposed project and shows budgetary requirements and requests monetary assistance in the form of a grant (Entrepreneur staff, 2016). Before writing a grant proposal, organizations must first have a proper program plan and evaluation process. Funding sources are no longer willing to allocate resources for human service agencies and expect merely a report on whether or not the program and service providers did what they said they would do (Brooks/Cole...

...Program Planning and Evaluation Carolyn Morris HSM/270 November 24, 2013 Mrs.Dakira Starks-Walker Program Planning and Evaluation Paper Program planning is an organized process through which a set of planned activities or interventions is developed to address and enable change in some or all of the acknowledged problems. It is an ongoing process of development with intention of designing a set of activities the will tackle the identified need and problem. Such as the described program in PEACE Domestic Violence Agency. According to the text appendix B, “PEACE mission is to reduce victim trauma, empower survivors, and promote recovery through direct services. PEACE is committed to reducing the incidence of sexual assault and domestic violence through education and strives to challenge societal norms and beliefs that disregard and prolong violence in the community”. (Yuen & Terao, 2003,) The program planning must meet the need of the population it mentions in the mission statement. Program planning is the beginning of the program development stage. Program planning is the process every organization goes through, it is the creating of a solution to an issue or problem. Here is where your goals, objectives, and activities are formed. The team is brainstorming what the goal of the agency will be this is the mission statement. The mission statement is the standards for which the organization will function also what the clients can expect the organization to be about...

...Scenario Evaluation Plan Karen Crawford HSM/270 Dakira Starks-Walker 12/29/2012 As you read this paper you will find that it is going to be about a fictional program scenario that I have chosen to work with. The scenario that I have chosen is scenario three PEACE Domestic Violence Agency. Also it will be comparing program planning with program evaluation in human services organizations and how the components are related. It will be identifying specific examples of how program planning and evaluation interrelate in the scenario that was chosen. Last it will be identifying technical and political aspects of program planning and evaluation that may be encountered in the scenario and how the aspects could affect the planning and evaluation process. After reviewing the material provided about program planning and program evaluation in human service organizations it seems as though they do compare to each other. According to the reading it states that “When planned carefully, these two set of activities can be integrated into an organized set of ongoing operations that promote and support each other” (Mika, 1996, p. 6). “Program planning and evaluation are both the process and the product of the political and economic environments” (Yuen & Terao, 2003). So from what can be understood they both are a process, but they do differ in how they process things in an organization. They way that both of the components are related is once one has his or her plan in order then...

...Program Planning and Evaluation Paper Kendra Hammond HSM/270 June 16, 2013 William Latta When creating a human services organization, program planning and program evaluation is vital. For a successful organization one can not exist without the other. Program planning entails researching, making goals, setting objectives, and answers who, what, and why questions. The development of program planning helps establish what resources will be needed to achieve the goals and objectives of the human services organization. The finances and budget are also included in program planning. In the program plan it should include what is the problem that is being addressed, why this problem exists, who is the target population, and where the target population is demographically sited. When creating a program plan, it requires logical thinking and a high level of information processing. The plan should be able to provide information on the services that the program wishes to provide to their clients. Throughout the thought process of the plan, the program should consider and include in the plan what obstacles they may encounter and ways to overcome them. The program planning stage in creating a human services organization is essential, because it determines the budget, the timeline, and sets expectations for the entire organization. The heart of this stage is how the organizations product and services will be developed and delivered. Program planning should be done thoroughly and carefully...

...Stakeholder Influences on Program Paper Tammy Powell HSM/270 April 28, 2015 Courtney Hunt The stakeholders American Diabetes Association (ADA) and Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) has guidelines the program must follow to receive assistance. The Madison Children’s Hospital is seeking funding from the JDRF and ADA. The program will make changes by narrowing the target population to children with the chronic illness diabetes will help the program with opportunities for education advancements, and funding in the future to keep the programs services the community is in need; it will also help the program reach goals to help children with chronic illness. The program will not help all children with chronic illness, but help the children with the chronic illness of diabetes. Helping one kind of illness will give the program resources to achieve the needs of the community. Both stakeholders have evaluations they use on programs to evaluate the success of the program. The stakeholder’s evaluation will reduce the cost of evaluation planning. The program will review the evaluations to know what to expect from the program. Changes to the mission made to keep funding after the grants are no longer available to the program. The foundations helped similar program in the past, and the program has a chance for funding by making changes for the stakeholder. ADA and JDRF are looking to find more education advancement opportunity with research to find a cure, and help children and...

...Steps to Writing a Grant Proposal Charity Tessitore HSM/270 May 28, 2016 Ruth Hendrick Introduction Funding can be a cause of concern for any organization or program, whether for-profit or not-for-profit. Non-profit organizations and programs rely heavily on the financing from grants. According to "Grants 101” (n.d), “a grant is a way the government funds your ideas and projects to provide public services and stimulate the economy. Grants support critical recovery initiatives, innovative research, and many other programs listed in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA).” This paper is going to go through the process of writing a grant proposal, using a new program called “Encouraging Families” as an example. Encouraging Families is a new program that is part of the PEACE Domestic Violence Agency. New Program Idea PEACE Domestic Violence Agency’s mission “is to reduce victim trauma, empower survivors, and promote recovery through direct services.” PEACE encourages domestic violence victims to get help and move on. They also help young adults get the education needed to stop the cycle of abuse. PEACE even provides a rehabilitation program for young adults. What it does not do is help those families get the job skills they need. Sometimes families want to be reunited, but have a member in jail and do not know how to go about reuniting. Encouraging Families is a new program that will work with the families, including the member that is incarcerated. The primary...

...the past few years. This continues for FY 2014, but with modifications as proposed by congressional staff. From FY 1969 to FY 2005 OSD published the “Annual Defense Report” (ADR) to meet 10 USC Section 113 requirements. Starting with the President’s FY 2006 Budget, this report was no longer produced. Subsequently, the Overview began to fill this role. This year to ensure compliance with Section 113, new chapters are added to include reports from each Military Department on their respective funding, military mission accomplishments, core functions, and force structure. Key initiatives incorporated in the FY 2014 Defense budget. Our budget is formulated based on aligning program priorities and resources based on the President’s strategic guidance. This year’s budget involves key themes to: achieve a deeper program alignment of our future force structure with resource availability; maintain a mission ready force; continue to emphasize efficiencies by being even better stewards of taxpayer dollars; and continue to take care of our people and their families. Implementing Defense Strategic Guidance. The FY 2014 budget request continues the force structure reductions made in the FY 2013 budget request. Following the President’s National Security Strategy and the January 2012 revisions to that strategy, the Budget continues to make informed choices to achieve a modern, ready, and balanced force to meet the full range of potential military requirements. The restructured force will be balanced...
