The hospital foundation did not have a grant writer available for a small grant; however a DNP student working at the medical center needed to write a grant project for class. The grant application was due $30$ days from the time the DNP student became aware of its existence. What steps does the DNP student need to leverage this grant opportunity in a short submission time frame? What grant components should be included in the grant framework? What resources may exist from the grantor; medical center; community state, and$/$or nation to maximize the economics for the unbudgeted "smoke$-$free initiative? How can the numerous department and service lines on the campus be leveraged to increase the grant award? Who does the DNP student need on the grant planning, writing, and executing team? How will outcomes be measured for the various populations $($patients$,$ visitors, employees, medical staff, and community$)$ impacted by the grant tactics?
