- Lilia, tell us about your experience project work and coaching activities.

I first learned what the public sector is in 2004, when the first project was implemented in my hometown. This happened thanks to cooperation with Ukrainian and English public organizations. I took part in the project as a member of the advisory council, being the head of the economics department of the district state administration. Social activities interested me, I started going to various trainings to learn more. In 2007, she completed training for trainer-consultants and began to engage in active social activities. The topics of my trainings are very wide: from writing project proposals, community activation to the basics of media literacy for residents. Regarding our own projects, now, together with Polish partners, we are implementing a project to develop a Strategic Development Plan for the Bashtansky United Territorial Community in the Nikolaev region, where I come from. The document should be prepared by September 2017.

- How to decide on the idea of ​​the project? Is it better to look for a competition for an idea or an idea for a competition?

In practice, it happens both ways. If there is a desire to bring something good to life and there are several people who can work together to realize this good thing, the plan becomes a reality.

- What role does the name of the project play?

Very important. The name of the project should clearly, succinctly and uniquely concentrate what you plan to do and what all this activity is intended to solve. Imagine that 100, 200, 300 projects can be submitted to competitions and they all have almost the same name. The ability to stand out is also important here.

- Which sections are usually included in a project and which of them should be given the most attention?

Each donor organization has its own application form. But the sections are actually important, everything from the project summary, information about the organization, description of the problem, definition of the goal and ending with tasks, activity plan, budget and applications.

Who is easier to receive and implement a grant: organizations or to an individual? Does the success of the project depend on the number of people involved in the project?

Individuals are mainly supported in the form of scholarships to study something, to conduct research, and very rarely to implement larger projects. For example, an initiative group of residents may become an exception. The vast majority of donor organizations work with public non-profit organizations. There are also opportunities for bodies to attract extra-budgetary resources local government.

If we talk about the number of people covered by the project’s activities, that is, about the target group of the project, then the donor organization is interested in ensuring that, within the available budget, the coverage and involvement of the target group is as much as possible. It’s worth talking about the success of a project when our goal towards project activities, has already been achieved.

- How should you proceed if the project fails or the results do not meet expectations?

If you submit a project application, it provides for the implementation of a specific action plan that will solve the problem that you describe in this application. Yes, it happens that not everything can be accomplished, or what we did did not lead to a solution to the problem, etc. It is difficult to advise what to do if such a situation arises. I think each specific case should be considered separately, but such situations do exist. Subsequently, this makes it much more difficult to support your next project, even from another donor organization, because they may be interested in feedback from cooperation with you.

Therefore, I would advise you to clearly prepare projects, and then implement them conscientiously, and everything will be fine.

- Is finance the reason for writing a project?

A project is written to solve some problem that worries many residents of a village or city, and getting money cannot be the goal of the project. We often come across phrases, especially among officials, like: “we received 10 computers worth 100 thousand UAH,” and sometimes also: “we spent 100 thousand UAH.” This is, of course, good, but it is worth focusing on the fact that, for example, 250 school students had the opportunity to practice their computer skills thanks to the installation of a computer class.

The goal of the project is, first of all, to focus on solving the problem; these are changes that we can make in the community by introducing an action plan, which, in fact, is provided for in the project.

There are small and very significant grants. Should people who are just starting out in grant work apply to competitions that involve large sums of money? Or is it better to limit yourself to small budgets?

I can tell you from my own experience: if your organization is very young, then you should start with a small amount. This way you will gain certain skills, which will be very useful. Then, when you decide to work with large sums, the experience gained will be able to confirm that you already have successful experience in implementing project activities.

Also, to gain experience, you can first work as a partner in a large public organization that has successfully implemented many projects. This will also be an advantage, as opposed to your lack of experience at all.

But it is worth remembering that there are competitions where it is clearly stated that only organizations registered, for example, no later than 2014 can participate. If your organization was registered in 2015, then it cannot take part in this competition, either with or without experience.

Donor organizations often specify the clause “own contribution”. Does this mean that the authors of the project must contribute part of the funds themselves, or is there something else in mind?

Own contribution can indicate not only funds, but, most often, the work of activists on a volunteer basis, the presence of their own equipment, the provision of materials by activists for the implementation of the project (for example, paint for arranging a playground, etc.). But the information needs to be clarified in each specific case with the donor organization whose competition interests you.

- What should you do when the planned budget for the implementation of the project is not enough?

Typically, you have the amount of funding that was specified in the grant agreement. It is also important to understand why you did not have enough funds. Did you calculate your budget incorrectly? Have you planned one number of events or participants, but now you want more? The donor organization must be notified of all such cases.

If you want to do large quantity activities than were provided for in the budget, you will get a wonderful opportunity to practice attracting resources from other sources, for example, from residents whose problem this project is aimed at solving, from entrepreneurs who are open to implementing socially important projects. You can contact your city or village council. We are talking not only about funds, but, for example, also about the free provision of equipment, volunteer work of activists, etc.

Have you personally encountered denial of grants? How to come to terms with the refusal of a donor organization and continue working?

Of course, there were refusals, but we must take them calmly. Yes, it’s a pity for the time and effort, but such situations exist. They keep you on your toes and don’t allow you to get too cocky and encourage you to constantly improve. Defeat should be taken as an opportunity to improve your idea or project for the next competitions.

- What could you wish for people who do not dare to start project work?

There is such a good story about the Master and the student. One day a student asked the Master: “Master, how long will it take to wait for changes?” and received the answer: “If you wait, it will take a long time.”

We all have different reasons for not doing anything, ranging from explanations “this is a matter for the city or village council, they were elected - let them do it” and our own everyday problems that require our time, ending with simply uncertainty in own strength. But all these factors hold us back from starting something new, important for many, and not just for ourselves.

The reasons we justify our passivity are actually worth understanding. But it’s worth looking around and asking yourself, do I want the rest of my life to be like this? Or am I okay with everything? I live here, my children live here and I want me to be comfortable in my city or village! If from the fact that I start some kind of important project, someone else will feel better - that’s great, but I will feel better too. Therefore, I wish people who would like to do something, but have not yet dared, to start! You deserve good changes!

The introduction of project work in the Chernihiv region and the activation of the population to participate in various grant competitions is one of the tasks charitable foundation"The future of Chernihiv region." To date, the foundation has already held training forums in several communities in the region, where everyone could learn how to write grant projects.

Participants of the forums (and not only them) were able to apply knowledge in practice and participated in a grant competition from the charitable foundation “Future of Chernihiv Region”. In total, more than 60 projects were submitted to the competition, 21 authors received a grant to implement the proposed idea. And this is just the beginning - residents of the Chernihiv region are ready to continue developing their hometowns and villages.

There is a term - grantwriting, which literally translates as the art of writing projects aimed at financing socially significant initiatives.

As a rule, all grant givers are large government and commercial structures that direct funding to implement exclusively those project initiatives that have social significance and a specific result. This should be remembered when formalizing the project.

Formation of an idea

First of all, it is necessary to determine the area of ​​the project, as well as the social group whose conditions the project is aimed at improving.

The main characteristics of a truly worthwhile idea social project the following can be mentioned:

• 
  Novelty. The idea must be original, not borrowed;


• 
  Accuracy. The attractiveness of an idea is always very visible to experienced grant funds, and inaccurate goals and objectives can reduce the chances of receiving funding to zero;


• 
  Necessity. The idea must correspond to social problems, that is, be aimed at solving them. If the problem does not exist, or the grant provider's scope does not cover it, funding will not be allocated.

The times when projects were written for the eventual acquisition of some material assets are gradually passing. Grantmakers are becoming more selective and professional, so against the backdrop of very successful projects, it is becoming not so easy to come up with a truly worthwhile idea.

Solution

The definition of the idea is followed by a solution to the problem, which consists of the activities provided for by the project. For example, if we take the social adaptation of orphans as a problem, then the activities of the grant project could be:

• conducting career guidance;


• holding meetings with representatives of a wide range of professions;


• information seminars;


• preparation of special career guidance literature.

That is, the entire sequence of actions should be aimed at solving the problem that was initially identified. The list may be wider or narrower depending on the maximum level of funding allocated by a particular fund.

Having identified the problem, solutions, as well as the social group of recipients, the following characteristics of the project should be determined:

• project area;


• duration in time;


• amount of financing.

The first two criteria are basic, and if the idea is clearly formed, then, as a rule, answering the question of territory and time is not difficult.

Significantly more problems arise for potential grant recipients when determining funding for activities. It should be remembered that grant givers are often interested not so much in, but in partner implementation socially significant projects. This means that the authors of the grant must also invest their resources for its implementation: labor, clothing, charity, etc.

When determining the estimate, it is important to remember that all costs will require a detailed report. And it is at this stage when implementing a project that difficulties usually arise. Thus, practice shows that even some costs incurred are difficult to report (such as fuel and lubricants). Therefore, it is easier to take them into account within the limits of co-financing of the author’s group.

Search for a fund

A significant step in grant writing is finding a potential grantee. Each fund has its own application requirements, which are set out in regulatory documents. You should study them all before preparing applications.

Do not forget about the danger of formally rejecting an application due to non-compliance with document requirements: text volume, font, indents and other nuances must be strictly observed.

Presentation

Almost all funds conduct research before allocating funds. The authors must be prepared not only to retell the provisions of the project that have already been studied by experts, but also to answer questions regarding its implementation and goal setting.

Instructions

First of all, decide on the main idea of ​​your grant proposal. You can go two ways: look for a competition for a specific idea or look for an idea for a specific competition. Currently great amount funds (state and non-state, Russian and international, regional and foreign) invites you to take part in competitions to receive. Each of them has strict application requirements that must be strictly met.

Come up with a succinct name that reflects the main idea. Prepare the “Title Page” in accordance with the template proposed by the grantmaker.

Carefully work through the “Resume” section ( summary)". Typically this section takes up exactly half of an A4 page and answers the questions:
- what is new and relevant;
- what are its goals and objectives, the main stages and expected results from the implementation of the project;
- what is the project budget, how much funds need to be raised and how much you yourself are willing to invest in. Return to this section again and again, gradually bringing it to perfection.

Proceed to writing the “Introduction-Familiarization” and “Substantiation of the Problem” sections. Use simple language. Do not overload the text with professional terms. Give vivid and imaginative examples of the current situation, leading to the conclusions you need.

The “Goals and Objectives” section should have one main goal and several task-stages to achieve it. Proper setting of tasks will make it easier to write the “Methodology and Schedule” section, since the completion of each task should be the completion of the next stage in the plan.

Pay special attention to the “Summarizing and Evaluation” section. Clearly state the expected results (tangible and intangible), linking them with the completion of task-stages. Use quantitative and qualitative evaluation indicators so that you can provide specific numbers of positive things that happened as a result of the project.

When preparing the Budget and Budget Explanation section, use the form provided by the grantmaker and only those cost items specified by the grantor. Please indicate the amounts including required taxes. Be sure to consult with an experienced accountant about what costs you may incur if you receive grant funding. It is also better to tie the budget to stages, since the grant giver often transfers funds in parts. Each expense item must be justified in the appropriate section of the application. Please indicate in this section: overall project, the amount of funds requested, the amount of available funds (at least 30% of total amount).

When starting the “Future” section, describe possible options for prolonging (continuing) the project, and also indicate at what cost this can be accomplished. Possible options: fundraising (attracting sponsorship) or self-sufficiency.

In the “Applications” section, place materials that can help create a favorable attitude towards the members of the commission. This could be illustrations, layouts, publications, documentary evidence of previous victories in similar competitions, results of implementation of others, and the like. Enlist the support of reputable people and organizations. Let them write “letters of support for the project”, where they indicate: that the project is of particular importance, and its author is well-deserved in a particular social environment; that, if funding is received, these people (organizations) are ready to take part in the implementation of the project to the best of their ability.

Start preparing a “Covering Letter” to the competition organizers. Don't forget to include your contact information. Make an inventory of the attached documents. Record a copy of the application on electronic media. Attach it to your application. Send a package of documents by registered mail with notification to the competition organizers in advance, so that if there are any shortcomings, they can be promptly corrected.

note

The most best idea, designed carelessly or incorrectly, risks remaining an idea. Be extremely careful when submitting your application to the requirements of the grant provider.

Helpful advice

1. Pay great attention to the name of the project. It must be both succinct (up to seven words) and understandable (express the main idea of ​​the application).
2. The “Resume” section of the application must be clearly checked and not contain anything superfluous.
3. Goals, objectives, calendar plan and budget must be linked to each other.
4. “Expected results” are usually written in the perfect tense as if the project has already been implemented and the results have been achieved.
5. The budget of the application must be justified and verified to the smallest detail. Take into account possible inflation and force majeure costs. Pay attention to which budget lines are allowed for payment. Be prepared to provide information about the resources at your disposal: material ( cash, infrastructure, equipment) and intangible ( human resources, fame).

Grant– this is a certain amount of money provided to you by a Russian or international organization to implement a project that is of public value. Grant provided under the conditions stipulated by the grantor, free of charge. One of the necessary conditions for receiving it is a positive review of your application. Here you need to understand that there is always less money than there are people willing to receive it. Therefore, the winner is the one who compiled the best application for financing. At the same time, it is important to have a good understanding of the mechanism of the applicant selection process, as well as the psychology of the people carrying out this process.

Instructions

When you already have a specific project, you need to fill out application in writing requesting a grant for this project. Just as a business firm draws up a business plan to convince investors to invest in a business, this one is needed to convince a grant giver to invest a certain amount in your project. An application differs from a business plan in that it seeks funds for a non-profit project, i.e. for a non-profit making business.

When drawing up an application, you need to keep in mind the goal: to convince grant providers (represented by the relevant committee, council of experts, commission) that your project has the necessary merits that have weight within the framework of any science: conceptual novelty, significant content and methodological rigor.

Under equal conditions, the winner is the application in which all three of these advantages are most clearly visible. Those. it must maximally comply not only with the necessary requirements for its writing, but also with the hidden expectations of the commission. It will also be very useful (especially when we're talking about about applied and human sciences) to convincingly demonstrate its usefulness and importance for your country. Since most grant-giving foundations do this with the goal of helping the country as a whole. Therefore, the more clearly you demonstrate the significance of your project from this perspective, the better.

Composing application, be guided by the fact that it will look for answers to three main questions:
1. What new things will we learn as a result of the project?
2. Why do you need to know this?
3. How do we make sure that the conclusions drawn are correct?

It must be borne in mind that, as a rule, there are many applications, and the commission has little time to decide. And they are unlikely to look for hidden answers to these questions. Therefore, the presentation of your text should be clear and concise. Your best chance of getting attention is to fit all of these answers into the first paragraph, or at least on the first page. Be sure to take advantage of this chance. If your project is too complex to express the main idea in a few lines and can only be revealed gradually, still make an effort to say something that will be memorable to the reviewer, even after hours of reading other submissions. Perhaps it will be some special, catchy, non-standard statement. This will increase the chance that your project will attract attention.

Many applications are reviewed by multidisciplinary committees. Therefore, express your thoughts as clearly as possible, do not abuse professional slang, and use highly specialized terms only in cases where there are no analogues in common use. Focus on the main idea of ​​your project. Various details and additions, if you are sure that they are necessary in the application, are best placed in the appendices to make it easier to understand.

It will also be useful to give a short overview of the current state of affairs in your field of science and include as complete a bibliography as possible, highlighting the latest work in this area. In this case, you need to mention only what is directly related to your topic. Bibliographies are considered a sign scientific approach and the seriousness of the applicant, therefore special attention is often paid to them. A well-written bibliography shows that you have done serious preparatory work, and also made sure that your project will be a new word, and not a duplication of results already obtained by someone else.

Different sciences have their own methodological canons, and they often differ even within the same discipline. However, we can give two universal recommendations on how to make a positive impression with the “methodological equipment” of your application. First, tell us what kind of research you have done and how you plan to use the results in your project. Also explain how much time you plan to spend on this and how you will distribute it.

Secondly, use arguments in favor of the fact that solving these particular problems will advance you in solving the main problem of the project. Usually, the methods described in the application are very vague and vague. For example, phrases like “the relationship between X and Y will be considered” are common. What this means is completely unclear. Therefore, tell us in as much detail as possible what methods you intend to use to analyze the data, as well as what the criteria for the authenticity of the results will be in the end. The more clearly the reviewer understands exactly what, why and how you are going to do it, the more favorable it will affect the fate of your application.

A properly structured application, like a sonata, usually ends with a return to the original theme. How does the study and its results relate to the main problem? How will you determine whether your hypothesis was true? All this must be reflected in the application. Also indicate what will be the outcome of the project as a result: a dissertation, an article, or something else.

When writing a good application, you need to be aware that it won’t take 5 minutes. Therefore, do not put things off for a long time, start drawing up application for the grant in advance. After writing it, re-read it again with a fresh mind, especially the first paragraph and the final part, trying to see it through the eyes of the reviewers.

Any research requires funds. In Russia, a system has been developed for financing scientific projects grants, which are awarded to institutions on a competitive basis. In order to win a grant, you must submit an application to the fund providing the funds.

You will need

• - a computer with a text editor;
• - project plan;
• - ability to clearly formulate thoughts;

Instructions

Begin your application by writing a brief letter of request briefly describing the nature, content and importance of the application. The letter should be short, about 2-3 paragraphs. It must be signed by the head of the institution and the executive officer to show that the organization is interested in the research.

The next part of the application is the introduction. In it, introduce the founders of the organization in which you work. It is important to show that the organization is stable and reliable financially and in terms of fulfilling its obligations. Indicate the composition of grant executors, the number of persons with academic degrees, and students. Describe what the financial and material benefits are, and whether there is support from other financial funds. Please note what achievements there are in the field of this research, scientific articles, third party organizations about your activities. It is necessary to demonstrate the uniqueness of the research and the need for its implementation on the basis of this particular organization.

After the introduction, move on to the goals and objectives section. Describe the goals of the project. There may be few of them, but they must be important to the project. Next, list the tasks you set for yourself to achieve these goals. Use concise and clear language.

In the methods section, describe how you are going to solve the problems. Justify why you chose these particular techniques. Tell us about alternative methods and your experience of using them in similar projects.

The next section is job evaluation. Include a plan for evaluating results and progress.

The budget section is one of the most time-consuming in an application. In it, describe the plan for purchasing materials and equipment necessary for the implementation of the project, the plan for paying salaries to performers, and the travel plan. List all expense items in as much detail as possible. Please note that amounts must be realistic and not inflated. Asking for money less than the maximum grant amount will increase your chances of success.

If the project requires the involvement of third parties and organizations, mention this with an indication of the appropriate stage of work.

note

There is an opinion that it is better to write an application when some part of the work has already been done, and there is also an opportunity to purchase Consumables and equipment with funds from other sources. This is due to the fact that bureaucratic procedures when receiving grant money may drag on, and you will not have time to complete the project in time for the report.

Helpful advice

Usually state organizations create a list of guidelines for applying for a grant. If you are given such instructions, follow them carefully and pay attention to the recommended fonts and forms for sections of the application.

A social project is a creative measure to influence the present reality in order to achieve its desired state in the future. There are many definitions of projects, as well as many ways to construct them. However, the main and determining factor in this work is precisely the action taken by a group of like-minded people. And if you decide to participate in the life of society, to achieve some changes and results, you need to act according to plan.

Instructions

Study public opinion in this social group where social is supposed to be implemented. Make an objective picture of the situation, systematize the research results, and draw conclusions.

Determine the reasons for the problem, based on them clearly outline the problem, and make specific changes to the situation.
Explore the capabilities of the team that will implement this project.

Define goals and objectives, consider target audience, to which it will be directed, and with which there will be close interaction in its implementation. Clearly formulate the goals of the program and, based on them, set specific tasks for participants.

Conduct explanatory and training seminars among project members, explain their responsibilities, develop a rating system and a list of indicators for the successful implementation of the program.

Bring to the attention of the public and administrative authorities the essence of the proposed project, its goals and benefits, in order to create a favorable environment for its implementation.

Tip 7: How to learn to develop projects and receive grants

Most of the projects that are developed for scientific implementation cannot be fully provided by the state, which is why various types of projects are allocated grants. But in order to get them, you need to learn how to develop promising projects.

Instructions

Make sure your university has good enough scientific base, which will allow you to develop valuable . It is rare that even senior students can independently explore significant areas of science because they do not have the experience to do so. Their work is mainly educational in nature. But there are exceptions to the rules, so you can always count on receiving grants for your work ().

Work out theoretical basis future research. For successful project It is always important to understand the purpose of its creation. What value will it provide? Answer this question. Also determine the methodology, objectives of the work and the plan for its writing (creation). It will be impossible to receive a reward if the grantor does not see the relevance of the research, its significance and application. Also, the work must have “scientific novelty.” This applies to all types of research.

Find a competent and experienced supervisor. Many departments and scientists working in them received at one time grants, region or government. This confirms their high . If you have such specialists, then you; if not, the chances of developing a good project and receiving a subsidy drop sharply.

Invite the most prominent scientist at the university to head science project. Show him how relevant the topic is and what benefits he will receive. Remember that you must have a good understanding of the nature of the study and the activities of the supervisor. That is, his previous works should be similar to your idea.

The presidential grant is allocated to non-profit organizations that participate in the development of civil society institutions and primarily implement socially significant projects.

We invite you to an online course "Internet cards for schoolchildren."
We don't teach how to remember. Our online course develops intelligence and thinking. In this case, memorization occurs naturally by itself. But not everything, but only what is consistent with the basics (basis, core) of your child’s knowledge.

Application for a presidential grant

1. About the project

1. Grant direction, which primarily corresponds to the planned project activities: social services, social support and protection of citizens

1.1. Subject of the grant direction, which primarily corresponds to the planned activities of the project:
activities aimed at acquiring older people, people with disabilities health skills corresponding to the modern level technological development and social change

2. Name of the project for the implementation of which the presidential grant is requested:

3. Brief description of the project (activities within the project):

The project is aimed at replicating the successfully tested project “Computer Cardioschool 50+”, supported by the Committee public relations Moscow in 2015, with the dissemination of positive experience in the regions. The main idea of ​​the project is to combine computer literacy with health care and fill it with new content. The project implemented activities aimed at acquiring skills that correspond to modern technologies for older people.

Each region has a partner non-profit organization, which agreed to participate in the project, serves as the parent organization in the region and has appointed a curator who is part of the project team. With the help of the regional curator, a training group of 16 volunteers who are responsible for health, including students of medical colleges and schools, will be organized. A two-day introductory seminar on the use of self-monitoring devices for health indicators will be held for them, and the devices themselves will be transferred for temporary use. At least 8 people and at least 8 health team leaders will be trained as testing operators.

It is possible to combine operator competencies with the competencies of a team leader.

Then, in each region, an action is carried out to identify deviations in health indicators, covering at least 150 people. Participants who have expressed a desire to participate in the project will be added to those participants who independently registered on the project website. Those who have already completed computer literacy training will have an advantage. Although it is possible to combine computer studies with participation in the project. In total, at least 8 teams of 9 participants will be created.

The head of the health team will be a volunteer consultant, trained at the kick-off seminar. Coverage in each region of 72 people with deviations in health indicators or with already established diagnoses and prescribed treatment. For health teams, 9 classes on healthy lifestyle and 9 webinars on stress resistance and emotional intelligence will be held. Conducting recreational activities will contribute to the formation and development of a tolerant communication environment for older people. At each lesson, self-monitoring of health indicators will be carried out under the supervision of a testing operator. During classes and webinars, recommendations will be given on creating an individual health plan, which will also be facilitated by completing weekly creative tasks.

At the final strategic session in each region, the components of long-term health management and ways for further development of the project will be determined, and a review competition will be held individual plans health.

The main results of the project will be: provision of socially significant services for monitoring the state of the body, mastering the skills of self-monitoring of health indicators, developing individual health plans, harmonizing relationships with others.

4. Geography of the project:

The choice of regions is determined by the presence of partner organizations, received applications for participation in the project and the availability required quantity beneficiaries.

The project is open to the participation of any teams from the specified regions, and any region that submits on time can also participate. application. Individual participants will be recommended to already formed health teams.

Preliminary training is carried out for teams, organizations and individual project participants.

There are two options for participation for organizations:

1st Option. The organization participates in promotions.

2nd Option. The organization forms one or more teams to participate in the project. The application indicates the number of participants in the starting seminar depending on the number of teams. From one team - one test operator and one team leader.

5. Project start date: 09/01/2018

6. Project completion date: 05/31/2019

7. Justification of the social significance of the project for the presidential grant:

In 2013, during computer literacy classes for the elderly, our organization conducted a survey of students and it turned out that they had many more questions about health than about computers. Approximately 80% responded that they wanted to learn, and 20% did not believe that this was possible.

By that time it was already a large number of instruments and devices (gadgets) that are certified for home use and allow you to monitor various health indicators. And now wearable gadgets have appeared. Examples are electronic thermometers, blood pressure monitors, glucometers (blood analyzers), electronic balance(body composition analyzers), which are now available in almost every family. Pulse monitors, cardiometers and stressometers are next in line for widespread use. The peculiarity of these devices is that they are connected to a computer, tablet or smartphone. This allows you to transfer and process accumulated data over the network.

Another important feature is that these devices make it possible to monitor health indicators, which is very important for older people who have a wide range of established diagnoses and are already undergoing treatment. Monitoring shows how much health indicators improve with a given therapeutic effect, and also allows you to track the effectiveness of any health procedures (for example, Nordic walking, fitness, yoga) and the dynamics of health status.

Third distinguishing feature is that the devices are sensitive to the borderline state between normal and pathological, which allows them to be used effectively for prevention. The devices provide very important question about what preventive measures and when should be carried out to improve health and prevent diseases.

The project will focus on increasing stress resistance of participants.

Means of objectively monitoring stress levels, both through scoring and in the form of quantitative indicators, simplify the identification of stress in children and adults. Because There is no need for surveys and tests, which often give subjective results.

The problem is to make all these tools available to older citizens and teach them how to use them.

You can learn to use an electronic thermometer or tonometer without special effort. And the use of glucometers is being successfully studied in “diabetes schools.” As for more complex devices such as a heart rate monitor, cardiometer and stressometer, computer skills are required here and training can be successfully combined with computer literacy classes.

15. Further development of the project:

The 3 devices purchased with grant funds and our own funds will be used to provide socially significant services to beneficiaries in other regions.

It has been established that the team development of new health technologies influences the energy of emotions of a group of students on the body of an individual and his emotional and psychophysiological state. This influence contributes to the restructuring of the adaptation mechanisms of a given individual and increasing the level of protective functions of his body. This is a good basis for creating a sustainable community of people who take responsibility for their health.

A virtual platform has already been created for this community (website http://faktor-2.ru) on the Internet, where each project participant has his own Personal Area. The site provides for the creation of interest groups and interaction between these groups.

Another direction of development of the project could be the development of a standard for health monitoring for suppliers social services and NGOs providing social services. This standard can be developed according to current recommendations and coordinated with the existing one in some regions called: systematic monitoring of recipients of social services to identify deviations in their health.

Where can you get funds to start a business if you only have an idea? Get financial assistance from the state or special funds. To do this, apply for a grant. Let's consider how to increase the chances of its approval, what documents to prepare and nuances that reduce the time for making a decision.

Opportunity receive funds for free attracts novice businessmen to implement the business. However not all types of startups are eligible for grants- for this they must meet certain criteria:

• Novelty. This is not about launching another business, but about the innovative nature of the idea.

However, there are also differences:

1. Not always included in grant applications pay attention to the commercial part. As a rule, the goal of the project is to achieve intangible benefits, and there may be no financial return at all.
2. Grants are “sponsorship” help that is provided free of charge, and when submitting an application you do not have to justify the possibility of returning the borrowed funds.
3. “Intangible” sections are of great importance - purpose of the project, its significance. Compliance of this information with the essence of the grant program is the key to receiving a subsidy.

Experts should have correct (and positive) representation about the project, its feasibility and benefits. Correct design of sections is important.

Sample of filling out the main points

Regardless of the fund that offers sponsorship and documentation forms, any application contains a number of key sections. We provide brief recommendations on how to fill them out.

Usually, when announcing a competition, the grantor himself provides an application form and business plan forms. If this requirement is not present, follow the common rules.

• Title page- reflects general information about the project and its author . Write briefly and to the point.
• annotation, although it is the smallest section of the application, has the most important function. This is a summary of the main provisions of a multi-page document.

Most of the application reviewers read only the summary.

This section provides summary information about the goals, resources of the project, its significance, and the author. It is logical to fill it out at the last stage, when the main part of the application is prepared.

• Description of the organization- information about the applicant. Details, legal name, work experience. Include achievements - everything that will form positive opinion about the grantee.
• Justification of the need- one of the most important sections. A grant will be issued if you have justified the value of your idea not only for yourself, but also for society.
• Project Description- a detailed statement of what, how and by what methods you will do to achieve your goals.

Financial and technical sections of the grant application

• Implementation work plan- specifics. You describe all the steps and operations that will be performed on the way to your goals. Take it seriously, because errors or illogical calculations and conclusions will create a negative impression of you.
• Specific results- fixed indicators (qualitative or quantitative), upon achievement of which you will declare the success of the project.

• Mechanism for evaluating results is also important. Show how the grant giver will monitor the success of the idea in which the funds are invested.
• Further funding and prospects. Many non-profit grant projects are “closed” once their goals have been achieved and the budget has been spent.
• Financial plan- How will you spend the grant funds received? This section should be as reasonable as possible, transparent and take into account all the nuances of corporate taxation, legal and accounting subtleties.

How to submit and what other documents may be required

An organization applying for a grant is required to submit a package of documents to the fund. Depending on the idea, the kit may vary, but the main papers remain the same.

• Constituent documents Individual entrepreneur or LLC - registration certificates, charter, orders of appointments, statistics codes and the like.
• Copies financial statements for the last period (balance sheet, ).
• Audit reports.
• Data of the main officials of the organization with brief information.

A big plus in the biography of the director or founder will be confirmed information about his achievements in the chosen field.

• Recommendations, letters of support. If the project is implemented in the social sphere, obtain the approval of the relevant funds and bodies. Attach their competent conclusions with the contacts of the principals to the application.
• Documents for the right to use property, transport that will be involved - certificates of ownership, lease agreements.

Submitting an application is not difficult: all you need to do is format your idea correctly and collect the necessary documents.

Applicants face difficulties while preparing their application. We have collected practical advice, which will simplify the task:

• Before you begin the labor-intensive work of writing a document, make sure that the goals of the chosen fund match yours.
• At the stage of development and filling consult with the grant provider. Most funds and government services operate centers for working with applicants, where they provide serious information support and training free of charge.

So, even within the same system it is very different, and if you don’t know the nuances, you can change financial plan incorrect data.

• The total cost of implementation cannot be less than the amount of funds requested. For commercial organizations it is optimal if project budget for exceeds the subsidy amount - this way you will show that you are ready to invest your funds. For non-profit projects, implementation can be carried out within the scope of the grant.
• The main thing when receiving a subsidy is inspire confidence among fund specialists in the idea. The application must be logical, concise and perfectly structured, and the justification must be convincing and without ambiguity.
• Experience in the chosen field- the first thing the grant giver looks at. Having superficial knowledge about the object of application of forces, gleaned from the literature, do not count on a subsidy.

Conclusion

The first thing experts see government agencies, funds when considering a project - this is an application. Whatever the gift of persuasion an entrepreneur has, the impression is formed when studying it. If the document does not reflect real goals and does not disclose the implementation process, it may not be possible to achieve “face-to-face” defense.
