Wrote an individual review of the literature (Fibrinolytic &/or/vs PCI) by critically reading and fully expanding your annotated bibliography
Module 14Lesson Topic 3: Proposal essay information/assignment sheetNow that you have learned research designs and methods, and read many published research articles, you get the chance to apply your knowledge. Essay Assignment Tips:Use the rubrics, grant proposal template and example, and grant proposal checklist to ensure you fulfill the project expectations. It is encouraged you print, these documents and have them nearby as you write your proposal. Essay expectations and grading criterion are listed in the rubrics.Write the executive summary last.Know and use APA format, in every manner. Print off and use the APA Cheatsheet. This document will help ensure you are using APA correctly.Review/edit for sentence structure and logic.As in The Art of War by Sung Tzu, “Know thy enemy.” You are to design a hypothetical research project and propose it to a funding source. You will be asking for funding (research grant) so you could (hypothetically) conduct (or continue) your research. So far in this course you have completed the following tasks:Searched for and found full text PubMed articles concerning one or two specific medical treatment techniques for acute myocardial infarction (MI).Created an individual annotated bibliography for one article reporting Fibrinolytic treatment or Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), or a compare/contrast of each.Reported who did what, where (population), when, why, how, as well as the most significant findings in your annotation.Your group submitted a combined Annotated Bibliography. You received lots of feedback, and read the entire graded product, thus becoming familiar with other Fibrinolytic or PCI articles.Wrote an individual review of the literature (Fibrinolytic &/or/vs PCI) by critically reading and fully expanding your annotated bibliography. You reflected on how your article relates to others in this topic (using other group members’ annotated bibliographies). Your literature review discussed the strength of the evidence, described research findings, strengths and limitations, biases, and how the research compares/contrasts with others. You also discovered connections and gaps in knowledge of the topic, likely thinking, “Why doesn’t someone research _______?” Now you fill in the _____. What problem, or oversight would you solve? What question would you answer? Discuss how your originally chosen article and others, lead you to formulate an interest, shaped your argument, and how you think about the topic of Fibrinolytic therapy and PCI.We are all at some level of risk for a MI. There are numerous risk factors for MI including family history, dietary intake, physical activity levels, cholesterol and lipid levels, and pre-existing chronic diseases (i.e. hypertension). Consider the following questions:If you were to have an MI and called 911 for EMS, which treatment would you prefer? Why? If you lived in a rural area would your preference change? Why or why not? Would you want an EMT to thread a balloon in you at your house or wait for the balloon at a Cardiac Surgical Unit? Would fibrinolytic pill or IV be sufficient? Here is the Assignment:Identify a research method (review Module 5: Research Designs) that could be used to conduct new or further research on the topic of “Outcomes of fibrinolytic therapy versus PCI”. Use your literature review on the Outcomes of fibrinolytic therapy versus PCI to discuss the background on the research previously conducted on this topic placed in the Statement of Need Section of your proposal.Optional but encouraged: Go to you group lab discussion area and develop ideas for your grant proposal. These can be original or drawn from the example below. Help each other out and come up with something spectacular.1) Develop and submit to the Grant Proposal Dropbox a well written, carefully crafted grant proposal to obtain funding for the project if the proposal is selected by the donating agency (Hahn R&D enterprises).2) Complete only the following sections of the proposal, using the Proposal Short course as a guide:Executive SummaryStatement of NeedProject DescriptionConclusionNote: You do not need to provide research budgets/financials and organizational information which is covered in the tutorial.The proposal will be a minimum of 5 pages,you may use the following as a guide:Executive Summary (at least 1/2 page)Statement of Need (1 page)Project Description (1-2 pages)Conclusion (at least 1/2 page). The research proposal is unrestricted and the angle of the study is open to your ideas. In an attempt to get you on the right track, consider the following example or you are free to talk about topics with your lab mates (the writing of the grant will be an individual project though).ExampleA grant proposal could be submitted to Hahn R&D Enterprises in order to fund the ongoing research that evaluates the risk/benefit analysis of using fibrinolytic therapy in the out of the hospital setting. The grant proposal would request funding to conduct an ongoing retrospective study of clinical outcomes of patients that received fibrinolytic therapy by Paramedics when patients present with heart attack symptoms in the field prior to arrival at rural hospitals in North West Florida and South Alabama.Topic Background: In cases where a patient suffers from a “heart attack” (myocardial infarction”) a blood clot blocks the vital arteries in the heart from circulating blood, ultimately starving the heart of much needed oxygen. If the infarct is not reversed quickly, the outcome will result in the death of the patient. There are two fundamental methods to remove the lethal blood clot from the vital arteries of the heart and restore blood circulation:1) Fibrinolytic Therapy- A medication to break down the clot2) Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI)- Coronary Angioplasty, mechanical re-perfusion by the placement of stints and other techniquesAs you write your grant proposal, keep in mind the following:Knowing the rules and expectations makes meeting the standards easier. Use the rubric and guidelines to ensure your paper will be good. Use of APA format and college level (upper division) use of written English are expected for this assignment.
