Sample Content .. .. A GUIDE FOR PROPOSAL WRITING .. INTRODUCTION .. The staff of the Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) at the National Science Foundation (NSF) often provide informal guidance to proposers. Staff members give workshops on proposal writing, answer questions by phone and e-mail, and talk to potential awardees at professional meetings and at NSF. The following is the essence of the advice often given to inquirers. These suggestions for improving proposals were collected from a variety of sources, including NSF Program Directors, panel reviewers, and successful grantees. Ultimately, most proposals are peer reviewed in panels consisting of colleagues in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines or related fields, and the success in obtaining funding depends in great measure on reviewers' judgments and their written reviews. .. While this Guide may provide valuable information for proposal writing in general, it was specifically prepared for programs in DUE. Because programs, priorities, technologies, funding levels, and many other details change, advice in this Guide will also change with time. Following the advice given here certainly does not guarantee funding although we hope it will help applicants write better and more competitive proposals. Another factor that must be considered is that NSF receives many more proposals that are worthy of funding than there are funds to support. National priorities and the desire for a balanced portfolio of projects influence what is ultimately funded. .. We hope that you find this Guide informative. NSF, together with creative partners, makes an important difference in undergraduate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education. .. "What makes a good proposal?" A good proposal stems from a good concept. The best proposals are those to which the reviewers respond, "Of course, I wish I had thought of that!" .. The most important thing is a project that will benefit undergraduate education and directly improve student opportunities to learn. That said, however, the proposal must be written in sufficient detail to allow reviewers to understand: o what the project hopes to accomplish; o if the project personnel have the necessary expertise to accomplish the goals and objectives; o the potential of the project to improve undergraduate education; o the national impact and cost effectiveness of the project; and o evaluation and dissemination plans. .. Carefully read the Program Solicitation or Announcement (both defined below). The Program Solicitation or Announcement gives the most current information available. For the relevant program it provides, (a) a rationale, (b) an overview, (c) detailed program information, (d) instructions for preparing and submitting proposals, and (e) special review criteria, if any. .. This is the best possible guide for preparing a proposal for a DUE program and should be read carefully and followed precisely. There are no hidden agendas. Proposals are funded in a competitive system based on merit. .. Program Announcements .. The term "program announcement" includes formal NSF publications that announce NSF Programs. Program announcements utilize the generic eligibility and proposal preparation guidelines specified in the Grant Proposal Guide and incorporate the National Science Board (NSB) approved merit review criteria (intellectual merit and broader impacts). These funding opportunities do not specify additional award conditions or reporting requirements, and do not require specific cost sharing beyond the required statutory (1%) amount. .. Proposals submitted in response to program announcements are considered "unsolicited." This means that the resulting awards are subject to the statutory cost sharing requirement. .. Program Solicitations .. Program solicitations are used to encourage the submission of proposals in specific program areas of interest to NSF. They generally are more focused than program announcements, normally apply for a limited period of time, and include specific proposal due dates. Competition among proposals is more precisely defined than with program announcements. .. When a program solicitation is used, the proposals received compete directly with each other. Accordingly, programs using solicitations will be responsible for systematic evaluation, including comparative analysis of scientific, educational, and/or technical aspects, cost, and other significant factors within all proposals in accordance with the criteria specified in the program solicitation. .. Proposals submitted in response to program solicitations are considered "solicited". This means that the resulting awards are not subject to the statutory cost sharing requirement. Cost sharing is not required unless explicitly included in the solicitation. .. .. The complete publication may be read at the URL above. .. ..

.. WRITING AND WRITERS: GRANT WRITING : WRITING AND WRITERS: GUIDES AND HANDBOOKS : GRANTS : UNITED STATES: GOVERNMENT: CATALOG OF FEDERAL DOMESTIC ASSISTANCE. GRANT WRITING: Grant Writing FROM The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) .. .. Grant Writing FROM The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) https://www.cfda.gov/?s=generalinfo&mode= list&tab=list&tabmode=list&static=overview .. A shorter URL for the above link: .. http://tinyurl.com/oqj72d6 .. .. CFDA Overview Writing Grants Types of Assistance Electronic Download Management Responsibility Frequently Asked Questions .. .. Writing Grants PART ONE: DEVELOPING A GRANT PROPOSAL PART TWO: WRITING THE GRANT PROPOSAL PART ONE: DEVELOPING A GRANT PROPOSAL Preparation A successful grant proposal is one that is well-prepared, thoughtfully planned, and concisely packaged. The potential applicant should become familiar with all of the pertinent program criteria related to the Catalog program from which assistance is sought. Refer to the information contact person listed in the Catalog program description before developing a proposal to obtain information such as whether funding is available, when applicable deadlines occur, and the process used by the grantor agency for accepting applications. Applicants should remember that the basic requirements, application forms, information and procedures vary with the Federal agency making the grant award. .. Individuals without prior grant proposal writing experience may find it useful to attend a grantsmanship workshop. A workshop can amplify the basic information presented here. Applicants interested in additional readings on grantsmanship and proposal development should consult the references listed at the end of this section and explore other library resources. .. INITIAL PROPOSAL DEVELOPMENT .. Developing Ideas for the Proposal .. When developing an idea for a proposal it is important to determine if the idea has been considered in the applicant's locality or State. A careful check should be made with legislators and area government agencies and related public and private agencies which may currently have grant awards or contracts to do similar work. If a similar program already exists, the applicant may need to reconsider submitting the proposed project, particularly if duplication of effort is perceived. If significant differences or improvements in the proposed project's goals can be clearly established, it may be worthwhile to pursue Federal assistance. .. Community Support .. Community support for most proposals is essential. Once proposal summary is developed, look for individuals or groups representing academic, political, professional, and lay organizations which may be willing to support the proposal in writing. The type and caliber of community support is critical in the initial and subsequent review phases. Numerous letters of support can be persuasive to a grantor agency. Do not overlook support from local government agencies and public officials. Letters of endorsement detailing exact areas of project sanction and commitment are often requested as part of a proposal to a Federal agency. Several months may be required to develop letters of endorsement since something of value (e.g., buildings, staff, services) is sometimes negotiated between the parties involved. .. Many agencies require, in writing, affiliation agreements (a mutual agreement to share services between agencies) and building space commitments prior to either grant approval or award. A useful method of generating community support may be to hold meetings with the top decision makers in the community who would be concerned with the subject matter of the proposal. The forum for discussion may include a query into the merits of the proposal, development of a contract of support for the proposal, to generate data in support of the proposal, or development of a strategy to create proposal support from a large number of community groups. .. Identification of a Funding Resource .. A review of the Objectives and Uses and Use Restrictions sections of the Catalog program description can point out which programs might provide funding for an idea. Do not overlook the related programs as potential resources. Both the applicant and the grantor agency should have the same interests, intentions, and needs if a proposal is to be considered an acceptable candidate for funding. .. Once a potential grantor agency is identified, call the contact telephone number identified in Information Contacts and ask for a grant application kit. Later, get to know some of the grantor agency personnel. Ask for suggestions, criticisms, and advice about the proposed project. In many cases, the more agency personnel know about the proposal, the better the chance of support and of an eventual favorable decision. Sometimes it is useful to send the proposal summary to a specific agency official in a separate cover letter, and ask for review and comment at the earliest possible convenience. Always check with the Federal agency to determine its preference if this approach is under consideration. If the review is unfavorable and differences cannot be resolved, ask the examining agency (official) to suggest another department or agency which may be interested in the proposal. A personal visit to the agency's regional office or headquarters is also important. A visit not only establishes face-to-face contact, but also may bring out some essential details about the proposal or help secure literature and references from the agency's library. .. Federal agencies are required to report funding information as funds are approved, increased or decreased among projects within a given State depending on the type of required reporting. Also, consider reviewing the Federal Budget for the current and budget fiscal years to determine proposed dollar amounts for particular budget functions. .. The applicant should carefully study the eligibility requirements for each Federal program under consideration (see the Applicant Eligibility section of the Catalog program description). The applicant may learn that he or she is required to provide services otherwise unintended such as a service to particular client groups, or involvement of specific institutions. It may necessitate the modification of the original concept in order for the project to be eligible for funding. Questions about eligibility should be discussed with the appropriate program officer. .. Deadlines for submitting applications are often not negotiable. They are usually associated with strict timetables for agency review. Some programs have more than one application deadline during the fiscal year. Applicants should plan proposal development around the established deadlines. .. Getting Organized to Write the Proposal .. Throughout the proposal writing stage keep a notebook handy to write down ideas. Periodically, try to connect ideas by reviewing the notebook. Never throw away written ideas during the grant writing stage. Maintain a file labeled "Ideas" or by some other convenient title and review the ideas from time to time. The file should be easily accessible. The gathering of documents such as articles of incorporation, tax exemption certificates, and bylaws should be completed, if possible, before the writing begins. .. REVIEW .. Criticism .. At some point, perhaps after the first or second draft is completed, seek out a neutral third party to review the proposal working draft for continuity, clarity and reasoning. Ask for constructive criticism at this point, rather than wait for the Federal grantor agency to volunteer this information during the review cycle. For example, has the writer made unsupported assumptions or used jargon or excessive language in the proposal? .. Signature .. Most proposals are made to institutions rather than individuals. Often signatures of chief administrative officials are required. Check to make sure they are included in the proposal where appropriate. .. Neatness .. Proposals should be typed, collated, copied, and packaged correctly and neatly (according to agency instructions, if any). Each package should be inspected to ensure uniformity from cover to cover. Binding may require either clamps or hard covers. Check with the Federal agency to determine its preference. A neat, organized, and attractive proposal package can leave a positive impression with the reader about the proposal contents. .. Mailing .. A cover letter should always accompany a proposal. Standard U.S. Postal Service requirements apply unless otherwise indicated by the Federal agency. Make sure there is enough time for the proposals to reach their destinations. Otherwise, special arrangements may be necessary. Always coordinate such arrangements with the Federal grantor agency project office (the agency which will ultimately have the responsibility for the project), the grant office (the agency which will coordinate the grant review), and the contract office (the agency responsible for disbursement and grant award notices), if necessary. .. PART TWO: WRITING THE GRANT PROPOSAL .. The Basic Components of a Proposal .. There are eight basic components to creating a solid proposal package: (1) the proposal summary; (2) introduction of organization; (3) the problem statement (or needs assessment); (4) project objectives; (5) project methods or design; (6) project evaluation; (7) future funding; and (8) the project budget. The following will provide an overview of these components. .. The Proposal Summary: Outline of Project Goals .. The proposal summary outlines the proposed project and should appear at the beginning of the proposal. It could be in the form of a cover letter or a separate page, but should definitely be brief -- no longer than two or three paragraphs. The summary would be most useful if it were prepared after the proposal has been developed in order to encompass all the key summary points necessary to communicate the objectives of the project. It is this document that becomes the cornerstone of your proposal, and the initial impression it gives will be critical to the success of your venture. In many cases, the summary will be the first part of the proposal package seen by agency officials and very possibly could be the only part of the package that is carefully reviewed before the decision is made to consider the project any further. .. The applicant must select a fundable project which can be supported in view of the local need. Alternatives, in the absence of Federal support, should be pointed out. The influence of the project both during and after the project period should be explained. The consequences of the project as a result of funding should be highlighted. .. Introduction: Presenting a Credible Applicant or Organization .. The applicant should gather data about its organization from all available sources. Most proposals require a description of an applicant's organization to describe its past and present operations. Some features to consider are: A brief biography of board members and key staff members. The organization's goals, philosophy, track record with other grantors, and any success stories. The data should be relevant to the goals of the Federal grantor agency and should establish the applicant's credibility. .. The Problem Statement: Stating the Purpose at Hand .. The problem statement (or needs assessment) is a key element of a proposal that makes a clear, concise, and well-supported statement of the problem to be addressed. The best way to collect information about the problem is to conduct and document both a formal and informal needs assessment for a program in the FF-4 11-08 target or service area. The information provided should be both factual and directly related to the problem addressed by the proposal. Areas to document are: The purpose for developing the proposal. The beneficiaries -- who are they and how will they benefit. The social and economic costs to be affected. The nature of the problem (provide as much hard evidence as possible). How the applicant organization came to realize the problem exists, and what is currently being done about the problem. The remaining alternatives available when funding has been exhausted. Explain what will happen to the project and the impending implications. Most importantly, the specific manner through which problems might be solved. Review the resources needed, considering how they will be used and to what end. .. There is a considerable body of literature on the exact assessment techniques to be used. Any local, regional, or State government planning office, or local university offering course work in planning and evaluation techniques should be able to provide excellent background references. Types of data that may be collected include: historical, geographic, quantitative, factual, statistical, and philosophical information, as well as studies completed by colleges, and literature searches from public or university libraries. Local colleges or universities which have a department or section related to the proposal topic may help determine if there is interest in developing a student or faculty project to conduct a needs assessment. It may be helpful to include examples of the findings for highlighting in the proposal. .. Project Objectives: Goals and Desired Outcome .. Program objectives refer to specific activities in a proposal. It is necessary to identify all objectives related to the goals to be reached, and the methods to be employed to achieve the stated objectives. Consider quantities or things measurable and refer to a problem statement and the outcome of proposed activities when developing a well-stated objective. The figures used should be verifiable. Remember, if the proposal is funded, the stated objectives will probably be used to evaluate program progress, so be realistic. There is literature available to help identify and write program objectives. .. Program Methods and Program Design: A Plan of Action .. The program design refers to how the project is expected to work and solve the stated problem. Sketch out the following: .. The activities to occur along with the related resources and staff needed to operate the project(inputs). .. A flow chart of the organizational features of the project. Describe how the parts interrelate, where personnel will be needed, and what they are expected to do. Identify the kinds of facilities, transportation, and support services required (throughputs). .. Explain what will be achieved through 1 and 2 above (outputs); i.e., plan for measurable results. Project staff may be required to produce evidence of program performance through an examination of stated objectives during either a site visit by the Federal grantor agency and or grant reviews which may involve peer review committees. .. It may be useful to devise a diagram of the program design. For example, draw a three column block. Each column is headed by one of the parts (inputs, throughputs and outputs), and on the left 11-08 FF-5 (next to the first column) specific program features should be identified (i.e., implementation, staffing, procurement, and systems development). In the grid, specify something about the program design, for example, assume the first column is labeled inputs and the first row is labeled staff. On the grid one might specify under inputs five nurses to operate a child care unit. The throughput might be to maintain charts, counsel the children, and set up a daily routine; outputs might be to discharge 25 healthy children per week. This type of procedure will help to conceptualize both the scope and detail of the project. .. Wherever possible, justify in the narrative the course of action taken. The most economical method should be used that does not compromise or sacrifice project quality. The financial expenses associated with performance of the project will later become points of negotiation with the Federal program staff. If everything is not carefully justified in writing in the proposal, after negotiation with the Federal grantor agencies, the approved project may resemble less of the original concept. Carefully consider the pressures of the proposed implementation, that is, the time and money needed to acquire each part of the plan. A Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) chart could be useful and supportive in justifying some proposals. .. The remaining alternatives available when funding has been exhausted. Explain what will happen to the project and the impending implications. .. Highlight the innovative features of the proposal which could be considered distinct from other proposals under consideration. .. Whenever possible, use appendices to provide details, supplementary data, references, and information requiring in-depth analysis. These types of data, although supportive of the proposal, if included in the body of the design, could detract from its readability. .. Appendices provide the proposal reader with immediate access to details if and when clarification of an idea, sequence or conclusion is required. Time tables, work plans, schedules, activities, methodologies, legal papers, personal vitae, letters of support, and endorsements are examples of appendices. .. Evaluation: Product and Process Analysis .. The evaluation component is two-fold: (1) product evaluation; and (2) process evaluation. Product evaluation addresses results that can be attributed to the project, as well as the extent to which the project has satisfied its desired objectives. Process evaluation addresses how the project was conducted, in terms of consistency with the stated plan of action and the effectiveness of the various activities within the plan. .. Most Federal agencies now require some form of program evaluation among grantees. The requirements of the proposed project should be explored carefully. Evaluations may be conducted by an internal staff member, an evaluation firm or both. The applicant should state the amount of time needed to evaluate, how the feedback will be distributed among the proposed staff, and a schedule for review and comment for this type of communication. Evaluation designs may start at the beginning, middle or end of a project, but the applicant should specify a start-up time. It is practical to submit an evaluation design at the start of a project for two reasons: .. Convincing evaluations require the collection of appropriate data before and during program operations; and, .. If the evaluation design cannot be prepared at the outset then a critical review of the program design may be advisable. .. Even if the evaluation design has to be revised as the project progresses, it is much easier and cheaper to modify a good design. If the problem is not well defined and carefully analyzed for cause and effect relationships then a good evaluation design may be difficult to achieve. Sometimes a pilot study is needed to begin the identification of facts and relationships. Often a thorough literature search may be sufficient. .. Evaluation requires both coordination and agreement among program decision makers (if known). Above all, the Federal grantor agency's requirements should be highlighted in the evaluation design. Also, Federal grantor agencies may require specific evaluation techniques such as designated data formats (an existing FF-6 11-08 information collection system) or they may offer financial inducements for voluntary participation in a national evaluation study. The applicant should ask specifically about these points. Also, consult the Criteria For Selecting Proposals section of the Catalog program description to determine the exact evaluation methods to be required for the program if funded. .. Future Funding: Long-Term Project Planning .. Describe a plan for continuation beyond the grant period, and/or the availability of other resources necessary to implement the grant. Discuss maintenance and future program funding if program is for construction activity. Account for other needed expenditures if program includes purchase of equipment. .. The Proposal Budget: Planning the Budget .. Funding levels in Federal assistance programs change yearly. It is useful to review the appropriations over the past several years to try to project future funding levels (see Financial Information section of the Catalog program description). .. However, it is safer to never anticipate that the income from the grant will be the sole support for the project. This consideration should be given to the overall budget requirements, and in particular, to budget line items most subject to inflationary pressures. Restraint is important in determining inflationary cost projections (avoid padding budget line items), but attempt to anticipate possible future increases. .. Some vulnerable budget areas are: utilities, rental of buildings and equipment, salary increases, food, telephones, insurance, and transportation. Budget adjustments are sometimes made after the grant award, but this can be a lengthy process. Be certain that implementation, continuation and phase-down costs can be met. Consider costs associated with leases, evaluation systems, hard/soft match requirements, audits, development, implementation and maintenance of information and accounting systems, and other long-term financial commitments. .. A well-prepared budget justifies all expenses and is consistent with the proposal narrative. Some areas in need of an evaluation for consistency are: (1) the salaries in the proposal in relation to those of the applicant organization should be similar; (2) if new staff persons are being hired, additional space and equipment should be considered, as necessary; (3) if the budget calls for an equipment purchase, it should be the type allowed by the grantor agency; (4) if additional space is rented, the increase in insurance should be supported; (5) if an indirect cost rate applies to the proposal, the division between direct and indirect costs should not be in conflict, and the aggregate budget totals should refer directly to the approved formula; and (6) if matching costs are required, the contributions to the matching fund should be taken out of the budget unless otherwise specified in the application instructions. .. It is very important to become familiar with Government-wide circular requirements. The Catalog identifies in the program description section (as information is provided from the agencies) the particular circulars applicable to a Federal program, and summarizes coordination of Executive Order 12372, "Intergovernmental Review of Programs" requirements in Appendix I. The applicant should thoroughly review the appropriate circulars since they are essential in determining items such as cost principles and conforming with Government guidelines for Federal domestic assistance. .. ..

Maybe we simply dont have the technical knowledge to grasp what the writer wishes to convey. Or perhaps the writer doesnt understand what he or she is talking about. In some cases, moreover, I suspect that a less-thanscrupulous issuer doesnt want us to understand a subject it feels legally obligated to touch upon. Perhaps the most common problem, however, is that a well-intentioned and informed writer simply fails to get the message across to an intelligent, interested reader. In that case, stilted jargon and complex constructions are usually the villains. This handbook tells you how to free yourself of those impediments to effective communication. Write as this handbook instructs you and you will be amazed at how much smarter your readers will think you have become." "One unoriginal but useful tip: Write with a specific person in mind. When writing Berkshire Hathaways annual report, I pretend that Im talking to my sisters. I have no trouble picturing them: Though highly intelligent, they are not experts in accounting or finance. They will understand plain English, but jargon may puzzle them. My goal is simply to give them the information I would wish them to supply me if our positions were reversed. To succeed, I dont need to be Shakespeare; I must, though, have a sincere desire to inform. No siblings to write to? Borrow mine: Just begin with Dear Doris and Bertie." by Warren E. Buffett Introduction Investors need to read and understand disclosure documents to benefit fully from the protections offered by our federal securities laws. Because many investors are neither lawyers, accountants, nor investment bankers, we need to start writing disclosure documents in a language investors can understand: plain English. The shift to plain English requires a new style of thinking and writing, whether you work at a company, a law firm, or the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. We must question whether the documents we are used to writing highlight the important information investors need to make informed decisions. The legalese and jargon of the past must give way to everyday words that communicate complex information clearly. The good news is that more and more companies and lawyers are using plain English and filing documents with the SEC that others can study, use, and improve upon. With the SECs plain English rules in place, every prospectus will have its cover page, summary, and risk factors in plain English. The benefits of plain English abound. Investors will be more likely to understand what they are buying and to make informed judgments about whether they should hold or sell their investments. Brokers and investment advisers can make better recommendations to their clients if they can read and understand these documents quickly and easily. Companies that communicate successfully with their investors form stronger relationships with them. These companies save the costs of explaining legalese and dealing with confused and sometimes angry investors. Lawyers reviewing plain English documents catch and correct mistakes more easily. Many companies have switched to plain English because its a good business decision. They see the value of communicating with their investors rather than sending them impenetrable documents. And as we depend more and more on the Internet and electronic delivery of documents, plain English versions will be easier to read electronically than legalese. The SECs staff has created this handbook to help speed and smooth the transition to plain English. It includes proven tips from those in the private sector who have already created plain English disclosure documents. This handbook reflects their substantial contributions and those of highly regarded experts in the field who were our consultants on this project, Dr. William Lutz at Rutgers University and the firm of Siegel and Gale in New York City. But I hasten to add that the SEC has not cornered the market on plain English advice. Our rules and communications need as strong a dose of plain English as any disclosure document. This handbook gives you some ideas on what has worked for others, but use whatever works for you. No matter what route you take to plain English, we want you to produce documents that fulfill the promise of our securities laws. I urge you in long and short documents, in prospectuses and shareholder reports to speak to investors in words they can understand. Tell them plainly what they need to know to make intelligent investment decisions." What Is a Plain English Document? "Well start by dispelling a common misconception about plain English writing. It does not mean deleting complex information to make the document easier to understand. For investors to make informed decisions, disclosure documents must impart complex information. Using plain English assures the orderly and clear presentation of complex information so that investors have the best possible chance of understanding it. Plain English means analyzing and deciding what information investors need to make informed decisions, before words, sentences, or paragraphs are considered. A plain English document uses words economically and at a level the audience can understand. Its sentence structure is tight. Its tone is welcoming and direct. Its design is visually appealing. A plain English document is easy to read and looks like its meant to be read." This handbooks purpose "This handbook gives you practical tips on how to create plain English documents. All of these were born of experience. They come from experts and those who have already written or rewritten their documents in plain English. As with all the advice in this handbook, feel free to tailor these tips to your schedule, your document, and your budget. Not all of the tips will apply to everyone or to every document. Pick and choose the ones that make sense for you. Some of our tips cover very basic mechanical issues, like how to photocopy your working draft. Weve included them because they were learned the hard way and have saved people time, money, and aggravation. Youll see them listed in Chapter 8, titled Time-Saving Tips. This handbook is by no means the last word on plain English. We expect to change it and add more tips as we learn more about writing securities documents in plain English. So please keep notes on your experiences and copies of your original and rewritten language. We want to hear from you and include your tips and rewrites in the next edition. Finally, we encourage you to give this handbook out freely. It is not copyrighted, so you can photocopy it without fear of penalty." https://www.sec.gov/pdf/handbook.pdf .. 47576 WRITING AND WRITERS: SKILLS AND TECHNIQUES : WEBSITE DESIGN AND PROMOTION: TRAINING AND INSTRUCTION : HEALTH : MEDICAL : EDUCATION : UNITED STATES: GOVERNMENT: Health Literacy Online: A Guide to Writing and Designing Easy-to-Use Health Web Sites http://tinyurl.com/nd9xht6 WRITING AND WRITERS: SKILLS AND TECHNIQUES : WEBSITE DESIGN AND PROMOTION: TRAINING AND INSTRUCTION : HEALTH : MEDICAL : EDUCATION : UNITED STATES: GOVERNMENT: Health Literacy Online Health Literacy Online: A Guide to Writing and Designing Easy-to-Use Health Web Sites U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion.

Although the problem remains largely invisible, millions of Americans have a hard time reading. As many as half of U.S. adults have limited literacy skills.2 Even more Americans as many as 9 out of 10 have limited health literacy skills. This means they have trouble understanding complex health information. 2 As more health information and services move online, Web developers and professionals must find new and better ways to communicate health information to the public. The number of older adults using the Internet continues to grow. A significant number of older Web users are searching for health information. However, age-related changes in vision, hearing, and cognition affect older adults use of the Internet. Taken individually, each of these factors presents a challenge for Web developers and health professionals. Taken together, they represent an urgent need for innovative design and redesign of health content on the Web. Several factors affect how well users can find, understand, and use information on the Web, including: Access to computers and experience online Ability to read and understand printed text Complexity of information on the Web Usability of the Web in general and Websites specifically. Clearly written content, uncluttered Websites, and simple navigation dramatically improve the performance and experience of Web users, including those with limited literacy skills. Studies show that simplifying your Web site improves the experience of all users, not just those with limited literacy skills.

Meeting that need means being: specific informative clear and to the point Finding information on the web An individuals process of finding and absorbing information on the web should follow these steps.

Website and homepage and email: one word, no hyphens. Spell out United States as a noun: U.S. oil is produced in the United States. Do not capitalize state, federal, or nation unless it's a proper name (Federal Register). U.S. Energy Information Administration and EIA; not U.S. EIA and not the EIA. Write Washington, DC, not Washington, D.C. Don't use postal codes except in addresses and footnotes: Cushing, Oklahoma, not Cushing, OK (except for Washington, DC where the postal code is part of the city name). Writing time: Correct-3:00 p.m.; Incorrect-3:00 pm; 3:00pm; 3:00 PM. Writing dates: Correct-January 2012; Jan 5. Incorrect-Jan 2012; January, 2012; January '12; January 5th. Write 1990s, not 1990's. Don't CAPITALIZE or underline for emphasis. Use bold or italics. American vs. British English: gray (A) vs. grey (B); traveled (A) vs. travelled (B); forward (A) vs. forwards (B). EIA style uses American spelling and usage. Punctuating bullets: No ending punctuation (no commas or semicolons) unless they are all complete sentences (then end each sentence with a period). Don't link click here or here. Link to the subject: See the full report; Writing Be consistent with % (informal and education content) and percent (formal content) within a document. Title case capitalization: Natural Gas Consumption Increasing. Sentence case: Natural gas consumption increasing. Be consistent for headers and titles within a document. Spell out (or define or link to a full spelling) acronyms the first time used and repeatedly in separate sections of a long document. Avoid overuse of due to-try because, as a result of, or following. Use since with time (Since 2005, natural gas use has grown.) and because when you want to show cause (Because it was raining, we got wet.). Be policy neutral. Avoid words like plummeted, skyrocketed, slashed, spiked, huge. Use simple words: additionally ? also; utilize ? use; in order to ? to; numerous ? many. Don't use impact as a verb: The weather affected (not impacted) electricity demand. Don't begin a sentence with a numeral or a year. Incorrect: 2012 stocks are increasing. Correct: Stocks in 2012 are increasing. Also correct: The year 2012 shows increasing stocks. Grammar Which or that? Which nearly always has a comma before it. If you can use that, use that. These two words are not interchangeable. Which is not a more formal word for that. Make bullets consistent: start with verb, verb, verb; noun, noun, noun; adjective, adjective, adjective. A person is a who, and a thing is a that. Correct: He is the person who said yes. Incorrect: He is the person that said yes. Use an en-dash to mean through or to: the temperature was 70-80 degrees. Use the word minus in an arithmetic phrase. Correct: Net imports = imports minus exports. Incorrect: Net imports = imports-exports. An em-dash is the length of two hyphens. It's used to show a break in thought and is almost always used in pairs. Correct: My sister Amy-who is two years younger than I am- graduated from college before I did. Hyphens with adjectives: short-term forecast, end-use technology. No hyphens with nouns: in the short term, three end uses. i.e. and e.g. must be followed by a comma. It is better to spell out i.e. ? in other words and e.g. ? for example. "Punctuation goes inside the quote marks." The complete document may be read at the URL above.

WRITING AND WRITERS: STYLE AND WRITING MANUALS : UNITED STATES: GOVERNMENT: NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS ADMINISTRATION: NARA Style Guide http://www.archives.gov/open/plain-writing/style-guide.pdf National Archives and Records Administration NARA Style Guide Preface Clear writing conveys clear thought. NARA writers in all offices must strive for clear communication to explain their increasingly complex work. They write letters, memorandums, finding aids, web pages, blogs, leaflets, reports, articles, exhibit scripts, brochures, budget requests, speeches, forms, and email messages. This style guide establishes agency standards of punctuation, word usage, and grammar that will answer writers most common questions and will, we hope, promote clear and effective writing throughout NARA. Style changes over time and even from place to place, depending on the intended audience. These differences do not necessarily make one choice ?wrong.? What is ?right? is consistency within your own work and using the appropriate language and usage for your audience. The NARA Style Guide fills two needs. First, the section ?Writing for Plain Language ? will help us comply with the Plain Writing Act of 2010. Second, it addresses many of the questions and issues unanswered by the Government Printing Office Style Manual (GPO manual). This guide is based on the GPO manual but includes modifications that reflect current usage. The most notable difference from the GPO manual concerns the treatment of numbers. This style guide simplifies the rules. In most cases, writers will spell out numbers under 10 and use numerals for numbers 10 and over. (See section 4.10.) The GPO manual is still NARAs primary reference for style. For issues not covered in the NARA guide, continue to consult the GPO manual. The appendix, ?Quick Reference,? may be particularly helpful to NARA writers. This list of words and phrases provides quick answers to common questions about capitalization, spelling, compound words, and plurals. The NARA Style Guide took shape from the agencys specific language needs and will continue to change to reflect the needs and concerns of NARA writers. Use the NARA Style Guide for all NARA communications.

Writing in Plain Language Writing in plain language means writing clearly. It means writing so that readers can find what they need, understand what they find, and use what they find to meet their needs. The more clearly you communicate, the more likely your readers will grasp what you want them to grasp and do what you want them to do, from filling out a form correctly to complying with a regulation. And the less likely it is that your readers will call or write you to ask questions or express frustration. Ultimately, your job will be easier and more pleasant if you take the time to communicate clearly. http://www.archives.gov/open/plain-writing/style-guide.pdf Preface .. Clear writing conveys clear thought. NARA writers in all offices must strive for clear communication to explain their increasingly complex work. They write letters, memorandums, finding aids, web pages, blogs, leaflets, reports, articles, exhibit scripts, brochures, budget requests, speeches, forms, and email messages. This style guide establishes agency standards of punctuation, word usage, and grammar that will answer writers most c ommon questions and will, we hope, promote clear and effective writing throughout NARA. .. Style changes over time and even from place to place, depending on the intended audience. These differences do not necessarily make one choice ?wrong.? What is ?right? is consistency within your own work and using the appropriate language and usage for your audience. .. The NARA Style Guide fills two needs. First, the section ?Writing for Plain Language? will help us comply with the Plain Writing Act of 2010. Second, it addresses many of the questions and issues unanswered by the Government Printing Office Style Manual (GPO manual). This guide is based on the GPO manual but includes modifications that reflect current usage. .. The most notable difference from the GPO manual concerns the treatment of numbers. This style guide simplifies the rules. In most cases, writers will spell out numbers under 10 and use numerals for numbers 10 and over. (See section 4.10.) .. The GPO manual is still NARAs primary reference for style. For issues not covered in the NARA guide, continue to consult the GPO manual. .. The appendix, ?Quick Reference,? may be particularly helpful to NARA writers. This list of words and phrases provides quick answers to common questions a bout capitalization, spelling, compound words, and plurals. .. The NARA Style Guide took shape from the agencys specific language needs and will continue to change to reflect the needs and concerns of NARA writers. Use the NARA Style Guide for all NARA communications. .. If you have questions about spelling, grammar, or usage that are not addressed by this guide, contact the Strategy and Communications staff ..

Maybe we simply dont have the technical knowledge to grasp what the writer wishes to convey. Or perhaps the writer doesnt understand what he or she is talking about. In some cases, moreover, I suspect that a less-thanscrupulous issuer doesnt want us to understand a subject it feels legally obligated to touch upon. Perhaps the most common problem, however, is that a well-intentioned and informed writer simply fails to get the message across to an intelligent, interested reader. In that case, stilted jargon and complex constructions are usually the villains. This handbook tells you how to free yourself of those impediments to effective communication. Write as this handbook instructs you and you will be amazed at how much smarter your readers will think you have become." "One unoriginal but useful tip: Write with a specific person in mind. When writing Berkshire Hathaways annual report, I pretend that Im talking to my sisters. I have no trouble picturing them: Though highly intelligent, they are not experts in accounting or finance. They will understand plain English, but jargon may puzzle them. My goal is simply to give them the information I would wish them to supply me if our positions were reversed. To succeed, I dont need to be Shakespeare; I must, though, have a sincere desire to inform. No siblings to write to? Borrow mine: Just begin with Dear Doris and Bertie." by Warren E. Buffett Introduction Investors need to read and understand disclosure documents to benefit fully from the protections offered by our federal securities laws. Because many investors are neither lawyers, accountants, nor investment bankers, we need to start writing disclosure documents in a language investors can understand: plain English. The shift to plain English requires a new style of thinking and writing, whether you work at a company, a law firm, or the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. We must question whether the documents we are used to writing highlight the important information investors need to make informed decisions. The legalese and jargon of the past must give way to everyday words that communicate complex information clearly. The good news is that more and more companies and lawyers are using plain English and filing documents with the SEC that others can study, use, and improve upon. With the SECs plain English rules in place, every prospectus will have its cover page, summary, and risk factors in plain English. The benefits of plain English abound. Investors will be more likely to understand what they are buying and to make informed judgments about whether they should hold or sell their investments. Brokers and investment advisers can make better recommendations to their clients if they can read and understand these documents quickly and easily. Companies that communicate successfully with their investors form stronger relationships with them. These companies save the costs of explaining legalese and dealing with confused and sometimes angry investors. Lawyers reviewing plain English documents catch and correct mistakes more easily. Many companies have switched to plain English because its a good business decision. They see the value of communicating with their investors rather than sending them impenetrable documents. And as we depend more and more on the Internet and electronic delivery of documents, plain English versions will be easier to read electronically than legalese. The SECs staff has created this handbook to help speed and smooth the transition to plain English. It includes proven tips from those in the private sector who have already created plain English disclosure documents. This handbook reflects their substantial contributions and those of highly regarded experts in the field who were our consultants on this project, Dr. William Lutz at Rutgers University and the firm of Siegel and Gale in New York City. But I hasten to add that the SEC has not cornered the market on plain English advice. Our rules and communications need as strong a dose of plain English as any disclosure document. This handbook gives you some ideas on what has worked for others, but use whatever works for you. No matter what route you take to plain English, we want you to produce documents that fulfill the promise of our securities laws. I urge you in long and short documents, in prospectuses and shareholder reportsto speak to investors in words they can understand. Tell them plainly what they need to know to make intelligent investment decisions." What Is a Plain English Document? "Well start by dispelling a common misconception about plain English writing. It does not mean deleting complex information to make the document easier to understand. For investors to make informed decisions, disclosure documents must impart complex information. Using plain English assures the orderly and clear presentation of complex information so that investors have the best possible chance of understanding it. Plain English means analyzing and deciding what information investors need to make informed decisions, before words, sentences, or paragraphs are considered. A plain English document uses words economically and at a level the audience can understand. Its sentence structure is tight. Its tone is welcoming and direct. Its design is visually appealing. A plain English document is easy to read and looks like its meant to be read." This handbooks purpose "This handbook gives you practical tips on how to create plain English documents. All of these were born of experience. They come from experts and those who have already written or rewritten their documents in plain English. As with all the advice in this handbook, feel free to tailor these tips to your schedule, your document, and your budget. Not all of the tips will apply to everyone or to every document. Pick and choose the ones that make sense for you. Some of our tips cover very basic mechanical issues, like how to photocopy your working draft. Weve included them because they were learned the hard way and have saved people time, money, and aggravation. Youll see them listed in Chapter 8, titled Time-Saving Tips. This handbook is by no means the last word on plain English. We expect to change it and add more tips as we learn more about writing securities documents in plain English. So please keep notes on your experiences and copies of your original and rewritten language. We want to hear from you and include your tips and rewrites in the next edition. Finally, we encourage you to give this handbook out freely. It is not copyrighted, so you can photocopy it without fear of penalty." https://www.sec.gov/pdf/handbook.pdf ..

"...While the applicability of WCAG 2.0 would need a high degree of interpretation to apply to a light bulb, web accessibility standards certainly apply to the browsers and apps that we use to centrally control it all.

Using Color Theory to Improve Website Accessibility By Julia Blake. "There are tons of articles and guides about color theory and its importance for every web designer.

MEDICAL: DISEASES: LEGIONNAIRES DISEASE : HOSPITALS : UNITED STATES: CITIES: NEW YORK, NEW YORK: Bronx Mans Death From Legionnaires Disease Gives Family Cause to Worry
David P. Dillard
..
.. MEDICAL: DISEASES: LEGIONNAIRES DISEASE : HOSPITALS : UNITED STATES: CITIES: NEW YORK, NEW YORK: Bronx Mans Death From Legionnaires Disease Gives Family Cause to Worry .. .. Bronx Mans Death From Legionnaires Disease Gives Family Cause to Worry By WINNIE HU and NOAH REMNICK August 5, 2015 New York Times http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/06/nyregion/bronx-mans-death- from-legionnaires-disease-gives-family-cause-to-worry.html .. A shorter URL for the above link: .. http://tinyurl.com/qgylaqd .. .. As Mayor Bill de Blasio and city leaders announced a plan this week to combat the disease by tightening regulation of cooling towers, the pace and breadth of the outbreak was still sinking in for many New Yorkers, especially in the Bronx. The disease is believed to be contracted by inhaling contaminated mists from water sources harboring the bacteria, such as air-conditioning systems, indoor plumbing, fountains and whirlpools. .. City health officials have said they are confident they have identified and addressed the source of the outbreak, but they have not determined which of the cooling towers might be responsible. .. On Wednesday, the owner and operator of the Brook, an apartment building near the Opera House Hotel, said that three of the buildings residents had contracted the disease. The building, on East 148th Street, houses low-income and formerly homeless people. .. City health officials have declined to release the names of the eight people who have died, and would not confirm that Mr. Quiles was among them. .. snip .. Ms. Ramirez said that Mr. Quiles complained of feeling faint on Monday, July 20, and was taken by ambulance first to Lincoln Medical and Mental Health Center, which was crowded, and then to St. Barnabas Hospital. She said he stayed there overnight, and returned home Tuesday. On Wednesday, he got to her mothers house by bus, but had to be driven home because he was not feeling well. .. On Thursday, he did not come at all. That was how we found out something was wrong, Ms. Ramirez said. .. Ms. Ramirez, her mother and her brother went to Mr. Quiless apartment building. They had to ask someone to let them in because Mr. Quiles was too weak to walk to the door to open it. He was taken to Montefiore Medical Center. .. After he had been at Montefiore for more than a week, Ms. Ramirez said that her family was told he had Legionnaires disease and that he would not recover. .. He died the next day, Aug. 2. .. ..

.. Here are some time machine links for those who love vintage computer lore.

SPORTS MEDICINE : MEDICAL: CONDITIONS: OBESITY : PHYSICAL EXERCISE AND FITNESS : MOBILE APPS: Free Fitness Iphone Apps Fail to Meet American College of Sports Medicine Exercise Guidelines
David P. Dillard
..
.. SPORTS MEDICINE : MEDICAL: CONDITIONS: OBESITY : PHYSICAL EXERCISE AND FITNESS : MOBILE APPS: Free Fitness Iphone Apps Fail to Meet American College of Sports Medicine Exercise Guidelines .. .. Free Fitness Iphone Apps Fail to Meet American College of Sports Medicine Exercise Guidelines Published: July 29 2015 University of Florida News http://news.ufl.edu/archive/2015/07/free-fitness-iphone-apps-fail- to-meet-american-college-of-sports-medicine-exercise-guidelines.html .. A shorter URL for the above link: .. http://tinyurl.com/p3atnj4 .. .. UF Health researchers recently found that only one of 30 popular free fitness apps for iPhones meets the majority of guidelines for physical activity from the American College of Sports Medicine, the worlds largest sports medicine and exercise science organization. The findings were published this month in the Journal of Medical Internet Research. .. When compared to the guidelines for aerobic exercise, strength or resistance, and flexibility, the top-scoring app was the Sworkit Lite Personal Workout Trainer App with 9.01 out of a possible 14 points. Each app was scored across those three categories, examining to what extent they adhered to the specific American College of Sports Medicine guidelines, including parameters for safety, warm-ups, cool-downs, stretching, intensity, frequency and progression. .. While more than half the apps included some of the recommendations for aerobic exercise and 90 percent met at least one criterion for strength and resistance, two-thirds of the apps did not meet any of the flexibility criteria. .. While apps have great potential to give more people access to workouts that could help them achieve a healthy weight and fitness level, we found that the vast majority of apps are not as safe as they could be and do not give users the type of well-rounded workouts known to be most effective, said Franis Modave, Ph.D., associate professor in the UF department of health outcomes and policy and lead author of the study. .. Ultimately, only Sworkit Lite Personal Workout Trainer met more than half of the criteria. Three apps met more than half the criteria in the aerobic category: Sworkit Lite Personal Workout Trainer, C25K 5K Trainer Free and Running for Weight Loss. Four apps earned half the possible points in the strength or resistance category: Sworkit Lite Personal Workout Trainer, Ultimate Fitness Free, JEFIT Workout and StrongLifts 5X5. Ultimate Fitness Free was no longer available on the App Store at the time of this release. No app scored above 50 percent in the flexibility category. .. Several of the apps contained high-quality content in one of the three categories, but almost none of them had high-quality content in all of them, especially flexibility said Heather Vincent, Ph.D., FACSM, assistant professor in the department of orthopaedics and rehabilitation in the UF College of Medicine. This is a problem because flexibility is important for good exercise form, relaxation and cool-down. .. .. The complete article may be read at the URL above. .. ..

A shorter URL for the above link: .. http://tinyurl.com/p8fgtwk .. .. The insight gleaned from the study is that, while diet and exercise play major roles in health, physical activity makes an even bigger impact on childrens weight than we previously thought, said Peter Katzmarzyk, an author of the study in the international journal Obesity. This study shows that obesity cannot be explained away by culture, class or status, and these research results reinforce the need for kids to engage in play time and other forms of physical activity each day. .. The challenge of television and the gaming screen for American kids is one thing, but the giant study international in scope and involving children in poorer and wealthier countries showed that lack of exercise is a concern that crosses many lines of class, race or family situation. This research assessed associations between lifestyle behaviors and childhood obesity in a multinational setting, surveying both high- and low-income children. .. Researchers collected data from more than 6,000 children between ages 9 and 11 from 12 countries, varying from Brazil to Kenya to the United Kingdom and United States. Previously, most of the data on obesity came from the wealthier countries. .. What the text shows is, far beyond the obvious connection between lack of activity and weight, is that the temptations toward physical laziness in youth are universal enough to give pause to those in public health who want to pin the problem on one behavior peculiar to, or one particular condition in, a rich or a poor society. Or, for that matter one particular solution like turning off the television. .. The results reinforce the importance of promoting healthy lifestyles among children as an obesity prevention strategy across different cultures and environments. .. ..

"...If you're sitting at your desk designing things based on a styleguide and a pattern library while looking at some wireframes and flow diagrams that someone handed you, you're doing UI.

.. MEDICAL: DISEASES: DIABETES : BUSINESS: CORPORATIONS: NAMED CORPORATIONS: GOOGLE : MEDICAL: MONITORING: Google To Collaborate on 'Next-Generation' Glucose Monitoring Devices .. .. Google To Collaborate on 'Next-Generation' Glucose Monitoring Devices Published: Thursday 13 August 2015 at 9am PST Written by James McIntosh Medical News Today http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/298106.php .. .. It has been announced that the life sciences team at Google will be joining forces with DexCom, a company specializing in glucose monitoring devices, to develop a new low-cost bandage-sized sensor for people with diabetes. .. In addition to being small and low-cost, the new wearable sensor will be disposable and usable by people with all types of diabetes. The device will be connected to The Cloud and provide real-time information. .. DexCom state that the aim of the partnership is to develop next-generation continuous glucose monitoring products that will be "substantially smaller and much less expensive than existing technologies." .. "This collaboration is another step toward expanding monitoring options and making it easier for people with diabetes to proactively manage their health," states Andrew Conrad, head of the life sciences team at Google. .. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 29 million Americans have diabetes, with 1 in 4 unaware that they are affected by the disorder. .. Although a serious disease, diabetes can be managed with appropriate levels of physical activity, diet and medication. As a result, keeping track of personal glucose levels is crucial. .. DexCom and Google want to make a device that will eventually become the standard of care for patients with diabetes, eventually replacing the fingerstick glucometer. .. ..

A shorter URL for the above link: .. http://tinyurl.com/o6lpkju .. .. Already dark clouds are gathering over the new urban garden, still in its first bloom. They arent clouds, in fact, but the shadows cast by predatory developers whose focus is the bottom line, not the bumper crop of swiss chard, who associate chlorophyll with currency, not foliage, and whose ever-higher residential towers siphon sunlight from the citys gardens. .. The jumped-up rents of our nations cities may tarnish urban gardenings golden age. Urban gardening is now in a space race with luxury condos, a green David up against Goliath market forces. The money, if history is our guide, is, unfortunately, on the developers. .. It is time to reconsider the urban garden. Fact is, the city is a less than ideal setting for gardens. Besides land costs, complications include logistics (where to produce compost, for instance), deficits of sunlight and water, city lots with tainted soil, and the ongoing flight of the budding upwardly mobile from city neighborhoods to suburbs. .. However, for gardening education the most strategically valuable of all garden trends the city is sublime. Huge, eager audiences, exquisite exemplary plots at both community and city botanical gardens, and a cornucopia of well-educated horticulturalists and gardeners to teach the beginners. Indeed, nearly every urban public garden is expanding not its gardens, but its education and outreach programs. .. .. The complete article may be read at the URL above. .. ..
