Financing Public Health Systems

Course Description

In this course, students will discover the importance in inter-organizational collaboration in the identification and resolution of public health concerns within communities. To this end, students will demonstrate the ability to integrate knowledge, approaches, methods, values and potential contributions from multiple professions and systems in addressing public health problems. Going a step further, the students will propose an inter-professional team approach to improving public health. The importance of ensuring strategic alignment with public health programs and services will be covered. Students will become familiar with sources of grant funding, common grant jargon and acronyms, types of grants, and best practices and red flags in grant writing. Students will apply a systematic approach to grant writing, which will culminate in the drafting of a public health Mock Grant Proposal. The proposal will address human, fiscal, and other resource needs to achieve strategic goals while creating new resources and revenue streams for the grantee. Pre-requisites PUBH 8004 or PUBH 8003
