Module Overview
This module focuses on selection of the environmental/occupational health, global health security, health education, or public health problem you intend to examine for your integrative project, as well as identification of the particular form your project will take on (possible project types/forms are presented below). Students are encouraged to choose a problem that is of either professional or personal interest or relevance.
Forms/Types of Integrative Projects
The following is a list of possible forms the integrative project could take. Keep in mind that all culminating projects, whether the type listed below or another, require instructor approval.
Literature Review
This type of integrative project would consist of analysis of an important environmental or occupational health/global health/health risk behavior-related/public health problem through review and synthesis of the peer-reviewed literature on the topic. The project would include sections that clearly describe the problem, assess the problem and its magnitude, evaluate its causes and determinants, and discuss prevention and intervention strategies. (Literature reviews were introduced in RES 500.)
Program Plan
An integrative project of this nature would entail development of a plan to implement an environmental/occupational health, global health security, health education, or public health program. It would address critical issues such as management, fiscal, ethical, and logistical issues. (Program planning was introduced in MHD 504.)
Program Evaluation
The form of integrative project would involve developing a plan for the evaluation/monitoring of an existing environmental/occupational health, global health security, health education, or public health program, including process evaluation, monitoring of outputs and outcomes, impact assessment, and/or cost analysis. (Program evaluation was introduced in MHD 504 and MIH 521.)
Policy Analysis
An integrative project of this form would involve analysis of the environmental/occupational health, global health security, health education, or public health implications of a current or proposed policy. The project could include perspectives on economics and financing, need and demand, politics/ethics/law, or quality/effectiveness. (Policy analysis was introduced in MPH 522.)
Research Proposal
An integrative project of this type would simulate a grant proposal or research plan focused on a selected environmental/occupational health, global health security, health education, or public health problem. The project would include a clear statement of the research question, the specific aims of the proposal, review of literature, study design, methods of statistical analysis, implications, and significance of the work. The research question would be applied rather than theoretical in nature. (Research proposals were introduced in RES 500; grant proposals in MHD561; and statistical analysis in MHS 506.)

Module 1 – Case
DEVELOPING YOUR PROJECT PROPOSAL
Case Assignment
Use the scholarly literature to identify an environmental/occupational health, global health security, health education, or public health problem that will serve as the focus of your integrative project. Select the type or form of project you wish to conduct—a literature review, program plan, program evaluation, policy analysis, or research proposal—and in a 2- to 3-page paper, address the following:
1. What is your rationale for addressing the problem you have chosen? What contribution will examining this problem make to you professionally as you enter the field? Make sure to utilize quantitative and qualitative data from scholarly sources to support your rationale.
2. What resources will you require to complete your project? Consider, in particular, time required to conduct background research and acquire necessary source documents.
3. To what extent was selection of this project topic and form based upon evidence from the scholarly literature? Please explain.
4. Develop and present a project timeline in which you identify all project tasks as associated timeframes for completion. Microsoft Offline Online is a good resource for obtaining free timeline templates (see https://templates.office.com/en-us/Timelines ). This timeline should reflect at least two tasks to be completed for each week of the session.
Upload this project proposal to the Case 1 Dropbox by the end of this module.
Length: 3-4 pages, double-spaced (excluding cover-page and reference list).
Format: APA format is required for this assignment.
NOTE: You will need to await approval of your project proposal before submitting your Module 2 assignments.
Assignment Expectations
Assessment and Grading: Your paper will be assessed based on the performance assessment rubric that is linked within the course. Review it before you begin working on the assignment. Your work should adhere to these MSHS Assignment Expectations .
Discussion: Creating a Project Timeline
The Discussion forum will be the venue through which you showcase your integrative project as you build each component. In this Discussion forum, please discuss the process of creating a project timeline, any challenges you encountered in doing so, and how these were overcome.
