3. Enhance the capacity and quality of CUNY programs that prepare personnel to work in the area of mental health, aligning with Thrive NYC and other initiatives on behavioral health.

4. Increase the use of distance learning, clinical simulations, NYSIM and other technologies that enhance instruction or student support in nurse education and other health professions programs.

5. Increase opportunities for students to participate in field based learning experiences including transition-to-practice and residency programs, and paid internships.

7. Enhance student supports and outcomes in high-stake areas such as testing, licensure and employment.

8. Expand clinical affiliations with community-based providers.

10. Strengthen programs that support CUNY students with disabilities.

12. Conduct workforce research in the health and human services professions.

The narrative proposal should not exceed 1,500 words and should address the following:

• Opportunity or Need. What opportunity or need does the proposed project address? What evidence base supports this claim?

• Goal. Briefly state the overall goal of the project.

• Activities. What specific activities will be undertaken, and who will be responsible for carrying out each planned activity? Please explain how these activities will be beneficial to your college, providing data and evidence, if possible. Especially if participating faculty is a Department Chair, please address how this project falls within the scope of a faculty member’s role.

• Timetable. Indicate the months during which the listed activities will take place, with any important milestones. The timeline for the project should align with the funding period (FY17). All activities must be completed by June 30, 2017.

• Outcomes. What will the project’s impact be, in terms of specific results? What is the direct benefit for students or faculty?

• Partners. Identify any employers, professional associations, government agencies, community-based organizations, unions, or others involved in the project. Describe roles and responsibilities.

• Evaluation. How will progress toward the short- and long-term goals be assessed? What metrics will be adopted to measure impacts and outcomes? How will project results be shared?

• Future Plans. Is this a discrete or ongoing project? What might future plans entail?

• Previous Funding. Have you been funded during a previous RFP cycle? If yes, please list the year and title(s) of the funded project(s).

Questions about the application process can be directed to Emilie.Baser@cuny.edu

Please email completed applications by Friday, 11/11/16 in PDF format to Emilie.Baser@cuny.edu with “Funding Proposal” in the subject line.

Colleges may submit multiple applications. Once an application is received, it will be reviewed by an advisory committee. The committee evaluates how well the applicant addressed the required components of the narrative as well as the cost-effectiveness of the budget request. Additionally, project need, activities, outcome and evaluation should be well aligned. Applicants may be asked to participate in a phone interview so that the committee can ask clarifying questions.

Final Reports will be due to OAA from funded projects no later than July 15, 2017.
