Programs providing payments to individuals have become a large part of federal aid to state and local governments, squeezing out more traditional grants for programs like bridges, highways, community development, and job training. The grant system has also pulled state and local governments into regulatory policy. Each grant program brings with it a package of regulations and mandates that further spreads federal influence over state and local governmental activities.

Competitive grants require a specific type of application. Although state and federal agencies and especially foundations have different requirements, the basic parts of a grant application remain the same. What are the key components of a grant proposal? Explain why each step is important when writing a successful grant request.

Prompt
In this module, we discuss the challenges and rewards of parenting. One of the biggest issues for parents is a significant decrease in marital satisfaction after having children. Specifically, 82% of parents report that they feel less satisfied with their marriage since becoming parents.

Identify 2 areas that parents can focus on to maintain a strong relationship [5 points for Content rubric criteria]
Discuss why you think those two areas are essential to marital/relationship satisfaction [5 points for Content rubric criteria]
Provide 2 concrete solutions with support from your course reference and credible outside source [5 points for each specific suggestion/10 points for Content rubric criteria]. Avoid saying “date nights” as it is often a bandaid solution. Instead, dig deep into why date nights are needed and address the daily issues that increase the tension and dissatisfaction.
If you’re not sure where to start, here are just a few of the many factors to consider. Please do not feel limited by this list! Research, maybe interview parents in relationships, etc.

Financial stress
Socialized gender roles  (i.e., emotional labor, unpaid labor, imbalance in childcare)
The loss of the “village” and missing social support in the individualized society
