...Energy Planning Proposal ********* SCI/362 November 10, 20** *************** Energy Planning Proposal To service a large populated area, it takes more than just money when it comes to evaluating not only the energy needs, but the environmental needs and considerations as well. Renewable energy has many important and positive aspects that make it a great choice not just for the city and its inhabitants, but for the environment near and far. This energy renews itself, without the threat of running out, or depleting. Renewable energy is cost effective, does not cause pollution, nor emit greenhouse gases, which is good for the city environment and far from causing global warming. There are many energy sources available, and after evaluating the pros and cons of each one, as the city planner I have come up with the best choice that can suit our needs, which is wind power, hydroelectric, and nuclear power sources. With a budget of 10 billion dollars, we can build the three new power sources and have money left over. Wind is a clean source of renewable energy, it does not produce any air or water pollution, plus wind is free. The cost of its operations is nearly nothing once a turbine is erected. Mass production and technology are making turbines cheaper, and many governments offer tax incentives to encourage wind development. Hydroelectric is a renewable energy is generated by the force of falling water. It is considered as one of the cleanest sources of energy, reliable...

...Executive Summary A request for a proposal was set by Jennifer Childs, Manager of a mid-size pharmaceutical company, to her three General Managers to propose on the reinvestment of an additional profit of $2,000,000 into the company. She has strained that the proposal should lead to a reduction of cost to the company and or increase in sales. The money would be allocated to one or more of the affected areas. Proposed areas to improve on are: * The Product development department needs upgrading in more laboratory equipment and scientists but the costs involved could absorbed the whole profit amount * Production department needs to be restructured by using employee teams. This could be a good idea, the reasons are as follows: * Suggestions made by employees could be implemented * Cost not too much if work spread over a period of time The only problem we foresee is that Tyler should convinced Jennifer as the things that her father built, weigh up very high for her. * Operational department needs upgrading. Computer equipment can`t handle the volume of transactions – this would require buying new software but this could led to a loss of disruption to the legacy system. It would be suggested that this project being breakdown into phases. * A proposal was made by the Marketing manager to increase his budget to employ more sales representatives, rather than allocating funds to projects as he believe that this will increase sales.

...Grant Proposals Desarae Minges HSM/270 September 27th, 2015 Tammy Wehrman Grant Proposals There are numerous attributes to a grant proposal. Some of those attributes are that the proposal should be formal, polite, well planned, and organized. There should always be a summary of the organization included, as well as a detailed description of the program or service that the previously mentioned organization is proposing to offer. In order to achieve a successful grant proposal, the agency needs to include the locale, target population within the stated geographic area, and state the issue that the program is designed to address, being sure to include any finding that corroborate the stated problem. The grant proposal is designed to convince the funder that the proposed program is exactly what is needed and that funding the organization's program is the best and only option there is available. The purpose or reason behind a grant proposal is to request and secure grant funding to establish said service. The function or duty of the grant proposal is to provide the required and needed information to help obtain the much needed funds to get the program going and establish the growing or overwhelming need of this service in the designated area.

This paper will address a few of the various types and formats of exchanges that might occur between the Government and potential suppliers prior to the Government’s receipt of proposals, and the manner in which some of these exchanges are to occur; some of the legal, regulatory, and logistical considerations that a Program Manager, Contracting Officer, or other Government participant in the acquisition process might need to be mindful of when conducting discussions; and the diligence and care that must be utilized by the Government team members when conducting exchanges with potential suppliers before the receipt of proposals in order to avoid issues that may arise later in the procurement process.

...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...
