Policy Advocacy Project
Policy Advocacy Project
Overview: Nurses are important advocates for patients and healthcare policy. Policy
makers rely on our knowledge and expertise to help make decisions that
influence healthcare delivery. For this Policy Advocacy Project, you will need
to identify a topic of legislation that is important to you. You will need to
choose an elected official from your district, state, etc. to meet with to
advocate for your selected topic.
The project contains two parts that you will submit for grading, the proposal
and the report.
·
Part A, the proposal, you will explain the
legislation you have selected to advocate for and identify the appropriate
elected official (or staff member) with whom you will speak.
·
Part B, the report, you will summarize the meeting
that you held with the elected official.
Part A: Proposal Directions PSLOs 1, 4, 5, 7; CSLOs: 1, 5
·
Identify an appropriate topic of legislation
that you would like to advocate.
·
Describe the proposed topic of legislation.
·
Explain why you think the topic of legislation
is important or relevant.
·
Identify an elected official or staff member
whom you plan on contacting to advocate for this legislation and justify why
this person is a suitable target audience.
·
Present information in a scholarly manner
including skillful and proficient writing using
appropriate spelling, grammar, punctuation and mechanics, and APA style and
formatting of the title page, appropriate in-text reference citations, and
reference page.
·
The proposal should be approximately 100-200
words in length.
Please keep in mind:
·
You are advocating for pending topics of
legislation. You cannot
choose something that has already passed because if that is the case, no
advocacy is necessary.
·
You must specify the exact topic of
legislation in your proposal. You must refer to this by the appropriate title.
For example: Title VIII funding, H. R. 952, etc.
·
The elected official you contact must have
the authority to vote for the proposed topic of legislation. The mayor of a
city would have no legislative authority and therefore would not be
appropriate. You are most likely going to contact a state or federal member of
congress (House or Senate).
