¶ … grants work increase one's chances of receiving grants?
No definite answer can be given on that. Funding services linked to school is one complicated issue everyone has been avoiding to talk about (Chavkin, 1997). There are no definite methods. Multiple streams of both new and existing funding have been used by different experiments. A number of initiatives are funded by states such as New Jersey, California, Missouri, Florida, and Kentucky, initiatives funded by organizations and foundations such as Annie E. Casey Foundation and the Hogg Foundation and some federal grants like Service Integration Facilitation and the National Center for Service Integration grants. One major problem faced by new grant seekers is how best to separate the solution from the need. For instance, a school (a social working organization) might be in need of a van with which they can transport students to school and from school after school activities. The usefulness of the van to the school social workers will be quite known. However, by using the van as a basis for their proposal, they end up focusing on the solution instead of focusing on the need to be met by the van. Documenting the academic needs of these students...
The excessive focus on the need for additional personnel is perhaps the most prevalent mistake the providers of these schools- linked to social work, make in their proposals. For instance, the response of a school principal to the question on needs assessment is, "I'm in need of extra nurses, aides and workers (Chavkin, 1997). With more workers, there will be an easy solution to the problem.
A more effective assessment of need would pay more attention to the number of sick children and the number without immunizations, the proportion of children who lack proper supervision, the inadequate level of parental involvement in the activities in the schools, or poor reading grades. These grant seekers are required to indicate the link between the needs and the solution at the first part of the proposal. Grant seekers whose proposals begin with the solution won't be able to get the reviewer convinced on why their request for fund should be granted.

Longitudinal Effects of Violent Media Usage on Aggressive Behavior -- The Significance of Empathy by Mossle, T., Kliem, S. & Rehbein, F. This research work by Kliem, Rehbein, and Mossle (2014) was aimed at scrutinizing, in detail, the association of aggressive behavior with exposure to media violence. The study employed a sizeable longitudinal sample of students to ascertain, in particular, empathy's contribution as a potential mediator in this link. (1) Does
Many researchers have conducted studies on many aspects of m-commerce and the use of mobile technology by consumers. deRuyter, Kleijnen, & Wetzels (2006) stated, "M-commerce has been heralded repeatedly as the new service frontier of the millennium. Present market reality, however, seems to be less optimistic, therefore, the current study explores the factors contributing to the adoption of mobile services in a context of wireless finance" (p. 206).

Researchers have an occasion to further organizational science and to make research practical by producing information that can impact changing organizational forms and circumstances. Pragmatically, academic researchers are not likely to get access to a company that is going through change unless the practitioners believe the research will be helpful (Gibson & Mohrman, 2001). There have been a number of calls to augment the significance and effectiveness of organizational science
Internet has grown exponentially since its first introduction to the public. The precursor to the Internet was the ARPANET. The Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) of the Department of Defense (Carlitz and Zinga, 1997) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) were the primary creators of the ARPANET. Subsequently however, efforts from private entities and universities have helped develop the network infrastructure, as it exists today. "The goals of ARPA's
The trainer will then focus on the steps to be taken to develop new skills. For example, if the trainer wants to talk about motivating, leading, negotiating, selling or speaking, it is best to start with what the learners do well before showing some chart on Maslow's theory, Posner's leadership practices, or selling skills from some standard package that has been develop elsewhere. Many foreign trainers make grave errors
The goal of quantitative research is to determine whether there is a truth in the predictive generalizations of a theory which assists in explaining understanding the phenomenon. By contrast, qualitative research base its inquiry in understanding the human problem using multiple perspective, and the research is conducted in the natural setting in order to understand the phenomenon. While quantitative research uses survey, experimental and Quasi-Experiments methods to collect data, qualitative
