Composing The Final Proposal
- 2. Read the Daily Message and record notes of important points and deliverables. (5 min) Open and re-pin Daily Message Notes • Add today’s date and subject of the message (Your Final Proposal) at the top of the note. • Add (Copy/Paste) summary of deliverables and/or important information under heading. NSEI 1.7.1 WARM-UP
- 3. NSEI – 1.9 WRITING THE INTRODUCTION Interns return to the Project Summary and reflect on and revise its details in order to generate the Proposal Introduction. (15 min) • The introduction of the Final Proposal should explain the project to someone who doesn’t know anything about your work at Futura. • What information might be important to include in your introductions. • What the project is about; • What the criteria are; • The details of the proposed design solution. The introduction of the Final Proposal. You already wrote most of this information when you submitted your Project Summaries at the end of the Research phase. For the Introduction section, use what you wrote for the Project Summary, along with a final sentence that describes the design.
- 4. NSEI – 1.9 WRITING THE INTRODUCTION Rubric: Introduction and Design Claim Read the “Excels” portion of the projected rubric. • You have had experience with these details during the entire internship. You specifically answered most of these details in the Project Summary form when you described the goal and criteria of the project. Review the project criteria.
- 5. NSEI – 1.9 WRITING THE INTRODUCTION To complete the introduction of the Proposal, you need to tell the audience the details of the design you are proposing. The last sentence in the Introduction describes the features of your optimal malaria treatment including the final results. You can see that there are blanks for the design details and results. Design Claim: This malaria treatment used (list drug type, doses, and number of days). The results showed the largest percentage of malaria parasites with high resistance to Drug ____ at ____ %.The side effects were _____, and the cost was ______ for 1000 treatments. Adding these specifics to your introduction serves as a claim statement for your argument that this is your proposed optimal solution. The rest of your proposal supports this claim. That’s what you already completed with your Design Decisions.
- 6. NSEI – 1.9 WRITING THE INTRODUCTION • Open and pin the Project Summary form. • Open the Final Proposal form. • Copy sections from the Project Summary and paste it into the Introduction section of the Final Proposal. • Select SAVE on the Final Proposal. • Unpin the Project Summary or select the Inbox icon, if desired. • Revise your introductions, using what you submitted from the Project Summary and by adding the design claim. • Select SAVE often, but make sure you do not submit your work yet. • You will complete your conclusion in a few minutes. • Early finishers can compare your introductions to the Sample Proposal Introduction in the Dossier, or swap devices and peer review a colleague’s introduction. To Copy and Paste the Project Summary form to your Final Proposal form follow below... Revise and complete your introductions.
- 7. NSEI – 1.9 TRADE OFFS AND CONCLUSION Reflect on your responses in theTrade-Offs Reflection in order to compose the Proposal Conclusion. (15 min) This conclusion is one last opportunity to convince the reader that you have fully considered all aspects in claiming that this design is optimal. The conclusion wraps up the entire proposal by demonstrating you understand the trade-offs between the criteria. The importance of the Final Proposal Conclusion It should show you considered many possibilities, and it should include specific examples to help convince the audience that your design is optimal. Futura isn’t looking for the smallest percentage of resistance, or even the lowest treatment costs; instead, they are looking for a proposal with a well-supported argument that shows you know your design is a strong solution to the problem of drug-resistant malaria.
- 8. NSEI – 1.9 TRADE OFFS AND CONCLUSION You have already done much of the thinking behind this paragraph and can use your responses to the Trade-Offs Reflection form (from Day 6). Copy and paste your responses from yourTrade- Offs Reflection form into the Final Proposal, weaving the responses together to form a coherent paragraph. You will then write one final summary statement that explains the trade-offs you made in your own personal optimal design. The importance of the Final Proposal Conclusion

Copy and paste your responses from yourTrade- Offs Reflection form into the Final Proposal, weaving the responses together to form a coherent paragraph. You will then write one final summary statement that explains the trade-offs you made in your own personal optimal design. The importance of the Final Proposal Conclusion
- 10. NSEI – 1.9 TRADE OFFS AND CONCLUSION Rubric: Conclusion: Considering Trade-Offs. Explaining the trade-offs made is one final opportunity to demonstrate that the design is an optimal solution. What might make the summary of trade-offs clear and detailed? Adding more than one example of trade-offs; using specific details about results.
- 11. NSEI – 1.9 TRADE OFFS AND CONCLUSION Reflect on and discuss the trade-offs made in your designs Open your responses to the Trade-Offs Reflection and think back to when you were working on your iterative tests. • Reread and reflect on whether you identified all the appropriate trade-offs. • Share and discuss with a colleague for a minute, critiquing if the criterion selected as priority is clear and if the summary of trade-offs in the optimal design is detailed and thorough. • Share some of the trade-offs you had to make, and what you prioritized as you designed and why. • Discuss as a group if different designs had similar trade-offs or how prioritizing patient side effects results in different trade-offs compared to a design that prioritized cost.
- 12. NSEI – 1.9 TRADE OFFS AND CONCLUSION Project and discuss the Convincing Conclusions. When you write the conclusion, you'll want to clearly summarize how you know this is your best design. In other words you will want to make your reasoning about your choices clear to people who are reading it. Different proposals will have slightly different trade-offs because of the criterion each prioritized.
- 13. NSEI – 1.9 TRADE OFFS AND CONCLUSION Project and discuss the Convincing Conclusions. You should explain the reasons for prioritizing one criterion over the others (Second question of the Trade-Offs Reflection). Detailed descriptions of the trade-offs describe what happened to the other criteria when prioritizing another (The third question of the Trade-Offs Reflection).
- 14. NSEI – 1.9 TRADE OFFS AND CONCLUSION Project and discuss the Convincing Conclusions. Strong conclusions might also describe the strategies used during the Design phase when working to achieve a design goal. In addition, you can utilize the pros and cons of the drugs used in the treatment based on your research with MalariaMed DesignTool, especially data collected during Days 3 and 4. The final closing statement should convince the reader, the project director, and GHO, that many possibilities have been considered and you have made a well-informed decision in selecting this design for the proposal.
- 15. NSEI – 1.9 TRADE OFFS AND CONCLUSION Begin to Write Your Conclusion • Open and pin the Trade-Offs Reflection form from your Futura Workspace inboxes. • Open the Final Proposal form. • Copy your responses from the Trade- Offs Reflection form into the conclusion of the Final Proposal. • Be sure interns select SAVE often. • Carefully review and revise the conclusion. • Early finishers can compare your conclusions to the Sample Proposal Conclusion in the Dossier, or swap devices and peer review a colleague’s conclusion.
