Writing Draft: Theoretical Framework – Proposal Draft
Theoretical Framework: Instructions from the RFP
This section describes the theory and relevant theoretical constructs that guide the selection of
strategies and specific activities to address the health issue with the priority population. Drawing
from the ecological perspective, this important section describes the level at which the framing
theory of the program will be applied (i.e., intrapersonal, interpersonal,
institutional/organizational, or community levels), the core constructs of the selected theory, and
why this theory and level are appropriate for the situation the program proposes to address.
Although the program proposal requires a multi-level approach for this assignment, you are
required to explain your theory at only one level.
Draft Instructions
Step 1: Determine the primary level of change for your program
Step 2: Select the most relevant theory to guide your rationale for change (according to the
desired level of change and what you have learned about the problem).
Step 3: Develop an outline and write a 2-3 page draft for this section of the proposal.
Step 4: Ensure that your similarity score is less than 5% when submitting it.
Recommendations:
1. Use headings to organize your sections.
a. Start with the heading for the section as a whole “Theoretical Framework” and
then use sub-headings for the constructs that are associated with the theory you
are using.
i. Introduce the level of change and the appropriateness/relevance of the
selected theory.
ii.
Describe the basic premise of the theory.
2. Introduce and explain all of the constructs of the theory
a. For each construct, explain (briefly) how the construct will be operationalized
(turned into action) in your program.
i. For example, if you are going to be using the Diffusion of Innovation
theory, explain the communication channels that you will be using and
why (what makes the channels you have selected relevant to your
population?).
3. Use Theory At a Glance as a source (or another resource as needed) to support your
description and overview of the theory and the associated constructs.
