 Instructions: You will complete the Budget Worksheet to show expenses for your grant proposal program. Information from this worksheet will be included in your Grant Proposal Presentation due in Unit 8. We know the grant will provide $20,000, which will allow your agency to purchase Naloxone (Narcan) nasal spray devices for each of its 100 members. The course project requires you to provide a basic budget for the program to detail how the $20,000 will be spent and explain any potential impacts on your agencys budget. Remember, the $20,000is only to be used for purchasing the nasal spray devices. All other expenses will be incurred by the agency. You will need to create at least four expense items for this worksheet. Expenses should be based on reason and research. Although you are encouraged to come up with your own expense items, here are some potential expense issues to consider when composing your budget: How much will the Naloxone nasal spray devices cost? How much will training cost? Is a public information campaign needed to announce the use of the new devices? How will the devices be disposed of once used? Note The devices are considered bio-hazard/medical waste once used. Are there any supplies that need to be purchased for the program? What are the administrative costs? Are there any in-kind (donated) services (i.e., using medical waste bins at the local hospital)? Guidelines: Use the Unit 7 Assignment: Budget Worksheet and Instructions document in Unit 7 to complete this assignment. 

THE EXCEL DOCUMENT SHOULD BE USED TO CREATE THE BUDGET WORKSHEET IT IS ATTACHED!

 Contains clear and concise information, accurately describing the expenses for the program. 

 Shows a high level of effort. Expenses based on research and/or reason. 

 Worksheet includes all of the necessary information to fulfill the requirements of the assignment. 

 Uses proper grammar and spelling. No mechanical errors. 

Chosen proverb: Never judge a book by its cover. 

 find at least 2 references from psychological/sociological peer-reviewed journals that contain social psychological research that is relevant to your proverb.

You’ll need to read the articles and summarize/ describe them in your report. Be sure to only use articles that directly address the issue presented in the proverb.

1. Present the proverb you are interested in, along with your own personal “theory” about whether the proverb is true or not.

2. For each of the two articles (studies) you find, do the following:

-Describe the study that was done – what was the hypothesis? What were the independent and dependent variables?
-Describe the findings. If the article is complex, it’s ok to just focus on the findings that are relevant for your proverb.
-Offer a summary of whether the study supports or refutes the proverb.
(Do this for each of the two studies)

3. Finish with a final conclusion about your proverb or saying: Do the two studies suggest the proverb is true or not? Also offer comments about shortcomings or weaknesses of the social psychological literature that you examined. Are there problems with the studies that make you question their validity?

Remember, your research might support the proverb, or it may not. It’s also possible that you’ll find one study supporting your proverb and one refuting it. Any of these possibilities is fine! If your studies are in conflict with each other, be sure to discuss why you think that’s the case (e.g., how do differences between the studies account for the different findings?)

4. Provide references for your two articles.

Pick a court case that involves social media and research it.  Then answer the following questions:

• What was the case about? Write a brief overview of the court case.
• Which laws were considered broken? Describe which legal issues were brought into question.
• Do you think the case violated any laws? Please explain why or why you did not agree with the court ruling.
