Grant writing 11

The waiting process once a grant application has been submitted can be grueling. However, this time can be used wisely, and can ensure that an organization is prepared once they are notified of whether they were funded. One essential task is to hold a meeting to debrief with the grant writing staff to assess the effectiveness of the process. 

Imagine you are preparing for a debrief meeting, specifically discussing what you have learned from developing this grant for the Resource Center to start an after-school program. 

Come up with 2–3 major takeaways from this process to share with your team. This may be something you learned about the process, a resource or experience you found especially valuable, a challenge you faced, or something that really surprised you.

For the discussion, share your takeaways and be sure to be specific and provide an explanation for each. Be sure to respond to at least one of your classmates’ posts.

One of the biggest challenges for any leader is during the need for change

This week’s discussion focuses on the following:

One of the biggest challenges for any leader is during the need for change. Leading change through agility and resilience is critical for success. 

To prepare for the discussion, you need to provide examples of how leaders in the past have or have not managed the change process with the following questions in mind:

  • You need to be able to explain the need for the change to the employees or team members. 
  • You need to involve the employees or team members in the change process.
  • As the leader, you must communicate constantly during the change process.
what benefits might you use to attract Generation X and Y employees

Let’s consider further the role that benefits play in recruiting. Put yourself in the role of your organization’s recruiter, what benefits might you use to attract Generation X and Y employees (under 45 years of age)? How do the benefits differ from those that you might use to attract workers who belong to the baby boom generation (45+ years of age)?

Your response should be four (4) double‐spaced pages; refer to the “Format Requirementsʺ page located at the beginning of this learning guide for specific format requirements.

Respond to the items below.

Part A

1.     Physical changes

2.     Cognitive changes

3.     Nutritional needs/changes

4.     Sensory changes

Find the Nash equilibrium(s).

Problem 2 
There are three major network affiliate television stations in Hicksville: RBC, CBC and MBC. All three 
stations have the option of airing the evening network-news program live at 6:00 pm or in a delayed 
broadcast at 7:00 pm. By regulation, they may not choose other times. Each station’s objective is to 
maximize its viewing audience, in order to maximize the station’s advertising revenue. The table below 
gives the percentage of Hicksville’s total population “captured” by each station as a function of the time 
at which each news program is shown. The numbers do not sum to 100 since not everyone always 
watches TV. 

Times Chosen Audience Capture 
MBC RBC CBC MBC RBC CBC 
6:00 pm 6:00 pm 6:00 pm 32 14 24 
6:00 pm 6:00 pm 7:00 pm 27 8 30 
6:00 pm 7:00 pm 6:00 pm 24 30 16 
6:00 pm 7:00 pm 7:00 pm 50 13 12 
7:00 pm 6:00 pm 6:00 pm 30 16 24 
7:00 pm 6:00 pm 7:00 pm 24 30 16 
7:00 pm 7:00 pm 6:00 pm 14 30 23 
7:00 pm 7:00 pm 7:00 pm 32 14 24 

1) Suppose that the choices of all three stations are made simultaneously. Find the Nash 
equilibrium(s). (Hint: Try to set this up so it looks more like a normal form game. To do this for 
three players, use two 2*2 matrices: let MBC choose the matrix, RBC the row and CBC the 
column). 

2) Suppose now that the game is played sequentially. MBC moves first. RBC moves second and 
CBC moves third. Each station can observe all previous moves before making her choice. Explain 
what will happen
