Details:

In earlier assignments in this course, learners completed and submitted individual components of the DPI Project Proposal and received and incorporated feedback from their DPI Project Committee. At this point in the course, learners should have a working draft of the DPI Project Proposal (Chapters 1-3 and Appendix A).

For this assignment, learners will submit the working draft soft submission in preparation for the submission of Benchmark – DPI Project Proposal: Draft Proposal (Chapters 1-3 and Appendix A) in Topic 8. For the soft submission, students will combine the chapters and reference lists, add the 10 Strategic Points as Appendix A, and remove all criterion tables. The document will be submitted as one unit.

After the chapters are combined and the document is formatted in accordance with the "DPI Proposal Template," the learner will complete a self-review of work-to-date.

Portfolio Practice Hours:

Practice immersion assignments are based on your current course objectives, and are intended to be application-based learning using your real-world practice setting. These assignments earn practice immersion hours, and are indicated in the assignment by a Portfolio Practice Hours statement that reminds you, the learner, to enter in a corresponding case log in Typhon. Actual clock hours are entered, but the average hours associated with each practice immersion assignment is 10.

You are required to complete your assignment using real-world application. Real-world application requires the use of evidence-based data, contemporary theories, and concepts presented in the course. The culmination of your assignment must present a viable application in a current practice setting. For more information on parameters for practice immersion hours, please refer to DNP resources in the DC Network.
