Introduction This report describes the research methodology used for the Modular Grants Application Process Outcome Study. More specifically, this paper is divided into three sections that describe the sampling, data collection, and response rates for the five stakeholder groups involved in the outcome study. The five stakeholder groups are: 1) principal investigators, 2) peer reviewers, 3) NIH scientific review administrators, 4) NIH program and grants management staff, and institutional officials. The first section includes information on the size and origin of the sampling frames (population files), the sample sizes, sampling methods, and margins of error (confidence intervals) around the population estimates. The second section describes the data collection procedures and the last section provides the study response rates and calculations. 2. Sampling 1. Population The size and origin of each of the sampling frames, or population files, is described in detail below. 1. Principal Investigators In March 2004, NIH provided Westat with a population file that consisted of all people who had applied for a modular grant since its inception in June 1999.

...The Effects of a Supported Employment Program on Psychosocial Indicators for Persons with Severe Mental Illness William M.K. Trochim Cornell University Running Head: SUPPORTED EMPLOYMENT [pic] Abstract This paper describes the psychosocial effects of a program of supported employment (SE) for persons with severe mental illness. The SE program involves extended individualized supported employment for clients through a Mobile Job Support Worker (MJSW) who maintains contact with the client after job placement and supports the client in a variety of ways. A 50% simple random sample was taken of all persons who entered the Thresholds Agency between 3/1/93 and 2/28/95 and who met study criteria. The resulting 484 cases were randomly assigned to either the SE condition (treatment group) or the usual protocol (control group) which consisted of life skills training and employment in an in-house sheltered workshop setting. All participants were measured at intake and at 3 months after beginning employment, on two measures of psychological functioning (the BPRS and GAS) and two measures of self esteem (RSE and ESE). Significant treatment effects were found on all four measures, but they were in the opposite direction from what was hypothesized. Instead of functioning better and having more self esteem, persons in SE had lower functioning levels and lower self esteem. The most likely explanation is that people who work in low-paying service jobs in real world settings generally do...

...Case Study 2 Embry Riddle Aeronautical University MBAA 607 An HRD evaluation is a collection of data that allows a judgement to be made on a training program. This evaluation provides the necessary information for selection, adoption, value and modification of instructional activities “Werner, 2012, p.226). In this case a large manufacturing plant is determining whether it is worth implementing a training program to train employees and cross-training to team members so that employees could conduct multiple tasks in their teams. In this case study we focus on the cost-effectiveness analysis and the return on investment (ROI) to determine if the financial results are worth it. In this study, the focus group is 30 trained members and 30 untrained members. At $2,000 per employee, the cost to train 30 team members would be $60,000. The estimated change in utility of this training will be $150,000. When presenting this information to management I would provide it in the form of charts and numbers to demonstrate the benefits to the organization as presented below. In the first example we see the formula for the change of utility for the training. Example 1Change of Utility = (N)(T)(dt)(SDy) - C = (30 members) (1 year) (0.7) ($10,000) - $60,000 = $210,000 - $60,000 = $150,000 | In Example 2 we look at the Return on Investment (ROI) for this training. The change in utility is being used as the results of implementing the training. Using the ROI formula we...

...increased to 33% whereas the overweight population constitutes about 20% of the total. The current state of our food habits and fitness levels doesn’t help the numbers at all. On the contrary we are aggravating the situation. Currently, an imminent issue is narrowing in on companies like ours. Employees sit in front of their laptops throughout the day, eat burgers and fries at a fast food restaurant for lunch and dinner, go back home and sleep. An exercise-bereft lifestyle like this surely hurts their health, but does it hurt our company? The answer is yes. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention the total tab for U.S. spending on obesity-related medical care is estimated at $117 billion, a figure that has doubled over a decade. The cost of medical care for an obese person is approximately $620 more than that of the average person. A study conducted by Duke University showed that overweight workers were more susceptible than normal workers to having claims involving injuries. Companies that employ overweight workers are jeopardized with the possibility of incurring increased insurance costs. Health care cost, which was around 12% of the budget in 2004, has increased to more than 18% of the budget today (Jitendra, Courtney, Kathryn, Mithilesh, & Bharat, 2011). An overweight workforce will hinder our company’s operations; investing a small amount on a weight loss program that covers dietary habits as well as a daily fitness routine will yield returns...

...the course concepts to explain how the enterprise architecture (EA) and/or the EA program benefits an organization. This assignment specifically addresses the following course outcomes: * describe enterprise architecture (EA), the appropriate application of EA frameworks, and an overall ongoing EA program * analyze and examine how enterprise architecture and enterprise systems influence, support, and enable an organization's ability to contribute to strategic decision making and to respond and adapt to the business environment * apply EA concepts to support business requirements and identify opportunities for enterprise solutions Assignment Using the DMV case study provided, determine how an EA could be used to help the DMV accomplish the objectives stated explicitly and implicitly in the case study. The organization discussed in the case study has many issues with its current environment and many changes that it wants to make. It has not established an EA program yet. The purpose of your paper is to briefly explain what an EA program is, and then justify a recommendation to establish an EA program for the organization. You should provide at least four specific examples from the case study to show how an EA program could be of benefit, and you should provide at least two examples of how EA specifically benefitted another organization in solving problems similar to ones in the case study.

Some examples include a notetaker, instructional materials in other formats (e.g., Braille or large print), special seating arrangements, books on tape, highlighted work, study guide outlines of key concepts, paraprofessional support, a behavior management plan. Prior to the special education reform, placement in a special class was usually an all-or-nothing proposition. Under the reform, schools are encouraged to program students on an individual subject basis according to their strengths, needs, preferences and interests and maximize time spent with their non-disabled peers. Schools, in turn, have been encouraged to improve fluidity between general and special education programs by creating parallel schedules where general education and special education teachers provide instruction in the same content area during the same periods. Special class and other special education supports are not restricted to ”core” subjects. (For funding purposes, the Department considers ELA, math, social studies and science as “core” subjects.) Rather, the...

...likely to experience hospitalization, which may lead to further functional decline. These factors contribute to longer lengths of stay, increased risk of complications and adverse events. The key practices that support integration include: single point of entry, “at risk” screening, comprehensive assessment, service coordination and case management, care planning including advance care planning, clear communication processes including shared health records, patient empowerment and self-management, quality use of medications and ongoing monitoring. The healthcare system is complex and people have difficulty navigating the system due to inadequate linkage between organisations and services People with complex needs require a comprehensive range of services, delivered across organisational boundaries, with clear assessment processes, access routes and pathways through services. Both overseas and Australian experience indicate that case management is ideally targeted to individuals who are likely to receive the most benefit i.e. those with complex needs requiring intense management from a range of different organisations, as this is where case management is deemed most cost effective. Therefore, the focus of many integrated care projects is on service coordination as a way of integrating care management and creating care pathways through the system. The move towards models of integrated care is an effort to manage the labyrinth of the healthcare system that has become increasingly...

...Epidemiology Question 1 1. Case control studies are designed in such a way so as to explore whether exposure can be associated with a particular outcome, such as a disease or certain condition. In these studies, the definition groups are based on the outcome and exposure assessment for potential risk factors. The first step in case control studies is the identification of the case (for example a group of people known to have the certain condition), as well as the control group ( a group that does not have the outcome). The second step is to explore whether some of the subjects in each group were exposed, and how the frequency of the exposure is measured between the case and the control group. Case control studies are basically observational, because there is no intervention taking place, and is a retrospective determination of the exposure to a certain risk factor. Advantages of case control studies • Case control studies are relatively less time consuming, since the disease has occurred in the past, therefore there is no need to assess the disease or condition. • They are an efficient way to study rare cases and diseases or outbreaks of diseases, since they are fast; during an outbreak, the fast examination of certain conditions is required, and a sufficient number of people suffering can be quickly accessed. • They allow a simultaneous examination of multiple conditions and risk factors • Allow the establishment of associations between suspected risk...
