around one page, and no more than two pages. Length does not necessarily equate to
quality.
 The abstract should be in current APA format.
 You are asked to highlight relevant shortcomings of existing research, but please do not
treat this as a literature review. Instead, identify the handful of sources most critical to
your research.
 A well-crafted Problem Statement makes the case that there is a concrete problem in
public policy or administration, and that the proposed study makes a legitimate academic
contribution to solving that problem.

Your grant application is nearly done! There’s just one more piece you’ll need to complete for the application process to be complete.
In addition to laying out all of the goals and objectives, you’ll need to show the funders how you plan to measure whether or not those goals and objectives are being met. This is all part of the grant management that will take place after you receive a grant.
Your job now is to determine how you will evaluate the success of the program. You will need to create a document that considers the following questions:
What questions will the organization’s evaluation activities seek to answer?
What are the evaluation plans and time frames?
What kinds of data will be collected?
At what points?
Using what strategies or instruments?
Using what comparison group or baseline, if any?
If the intention is to study a sample of participants, how will this sample be selected?
What procedures will be used to determine whether the program was implemented as planned?
Who will conduct the evaluation?
Who will receive the results?
How does this program or project define success?
Create a 2-3 page document that answers each of the questions at a high level. This document should be written in such a way that it can be shared across the Resource Center as well as with volunteers and partners in the program so they can understand how the program will be evaluated throughout the grant cycle. While you want the information to be clear and specific, it’s not necessary to go into great detail. It should be easily understood by all.
The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:
Review the grant management cycle.
Please use the attached as a reference ” the assignment should identify specifically where the program will be held and greater specificity in the various categories in the table” was the feed back from my professor on the last paper.

Explain the inter-relationship of public administration accountability, performance, and politics.
Reflect on the historic roots of the above themes.
Discuss how these themes have evolved over time and what we can learn from it.
The discipline of public administration as we know it in the United States dates back to the Woodrow Wilson’s article “The Study of Public Administration” published in 1887. His call for a scientific study of the discipline, separation of politics and administration, applying business-like practices towards public administration operations, and merit-based assessment of civil servants was widely supported by both practitioners and academics.
Therefore, politics-administration dichotomy was the first but not the only debate within the discipline that also led its development.
Appleby (1945) said that government is different because government is politics. There is no scientific way to separate one from the other.
According to Kettl (2020) the American people have the expectation that government will solve problems. In order to do so, government must coordinate with partners through complex systems. Deciding what to do and how to do it invites politics as different values and priorities come into play. Yet throughout the process there is the expectation by the people that government will be effective, efficient, and accountable. Americans are suspicious about the exercise of political power yet they expect efficiency, effectiveness, and equity from their government.
Politics, administration, and the quest for accountability rings true to this day.

Apply concepts related to ethics in a specific, researched public administration case study. Whatever source is used for the actual case study must focus on a real-world public administration situation that is being discussed and analyzed in the chosen article.
The article can be qualitative or quantitative in nature, but it must specifically focus on the public administration context.
Remember to synthesize your research and findings with the required readings and presentations for this week and a Biblical/covenantal model of statesmanship, leadership and organizational behavior.

Write a 4–6 page paper, titled “Agency’s Law and Ethics of Hiring a Diverse Workforce,” in which you:
Analyze at least two laws or two court decisions that have implications for the agency’s personnel management (title this section “Laws Affecting the Agency”).
Evaluate the agency’s approach to diversity issues, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses (title this section “Personnel Recruitment and Hiring Practices”).
Evaluate the agency’s approach to ethics and diversity training programs provided for new and existing employees, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses (title this section “Ethics and Diversity Training”).
Recommend at least two actions the agency could take to improve in the areas of recruiting and training a diversified workforce (title this section “Recommendations for Recruiting and Training a Diversified Workforce”).
Appropriately incorporate at least four quality sources. A quality source can be either popular, such as a news article, or scholarly, such as peer-reviewed works. In the case of public administration, government websites are appropriate quality resources. Note: Wikipedia, SparkNotes, and similar websites do not qualify as academic resources. Use the Strayer University Online Library to conduct research.
