Cobey, Jr., Secretary Director <br />Injury Control <br />(919) 733 -3732 <br />Mrs. Belinda Jones <br />Post Office Box 8181 <br />Hillsborough, North Carolina 27278 <br />Dear Mrs. Jones: <br />We are pleased to inform you that your proposal Project Poison <br />Patrol has been funded by the Injury Prevention Branch for fiscal <br />year 1992. Your award is for $3861. The 41 proposals submitted <br />this year covered a variety of topics and demonstrated a great <br />deal of creativity and planning. <br />Each proposal underwent a rigorous review process. The review <br />committee was kept blind with respect to authorship and <br />affiliation. The set of criteria used to score each proposal <br />included: documentation of community need, appropriateness of <br />goal and objectives, appropriateness of process and outcome <br />evaluation methods, effective use of resources, and likelihood of <br />project success. Decisions were made based on average scores and <br />level of agreement between the reviewers. <br />We would like to share with you some of the review committee's <br />comments regarding the strong components of your proposal as well <br />as suggestions for improvement. <br />1. Community need was well documented with the use of health <br />department client survey data and day care survey data. <br />2. Training and updating public health nurses and day care staff <br />on poison prevention was a good idea. <br />3. The linkages between the health department, day care centers, <br />and the Kiwanis Club was beneficial. <br />4. Evaluation component needed to include an assessment of the <br />updates provided to the public health nurses. <br />The Injury Prevention Branch requires at least one site visit to <br />your health department during the first quarter of the project. <br />The Program Consultant assigned to you will contact you to set a <br />date and time for this meeting. This meeting will be an <br />opportunity for the Project Director and the Program Consultant <br />to get acquainted and review the project development and <br />implementation plan. <br />An Equal Opportunity ArFir*native Action Employer <br />
