This guide is for NURS 225 Week 7 EBP Project Part 3, start to submission. The group's funding proposal for implementing the practice change and disseminating results, with 5 more annotated sources.
NURS 225 is Pre-licensure Research in Nursing, 3 credit hours, in Liberty University's RN to BSN. Canvas and the course guide file print the code as NURS225; it is the same course.

What NURS 225 Week 7 EBP Project Part 3 asks for
Working in the same group, you create a funding proposal that presents how the practice change could be implemented or adopted by hypothetical stakeholders, and discuss to whom you would disseminate the results. The submission is 750 to 1,000 words (3 to 5 pages) with at least five additional peer-reviewed resources from the last five years (15 in total across Parts 1 to 3), each annotated in at least 150 words. Due Module/Week 7, 125 points.
Where it fits in NURS 225
In the published schedule, EBP Project Part 3 is one of 9 graded written assignments in NURS 225. It follows Week 6 Discussion Board Forum 3 and comes before Week 7 Research Critique Part 1. The same week also has Research Critique Part 1, so plan the week's writing together.
How NURS 225 Week 7 EBP Project Part 3 is graded
Liberty grades EBP Project Part 3 with the rubric attached to the assignment in Canvas, worth 125 points in the published guide. That is about 12% of the course's 1,010 points. Open the rubric before you draft and read across each row: the top column describes what full credit looks like, and the gap between columns tells you what costs points.
Course grades in NURS 225 use Liberty's point scale: an A is 900 to 1010 points of the course total. Missing the length or source minimum usually costs points on several rows at once, which is why the checklist below starts with them.
Timing in the published guide: Each course module/week (except Module/Week 1) begins on Tuesday morning at 12:00 a.m. (ET) and ends on Monday night at 11:59 p.m. (ET). The final module/week ends at 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Friday. Check the due dates in your Canvas section, which govern.
The NURS 225 Week 7 method, step by step
Read this part against the whole
Before drafting EBP Project Part 3, read ahead to the later parts. Each part builds on the last, and a decision that looks fine now can box you in two weeks later.
Lock the topic and the question early
Pick a problem you can carry for the rest of the course and phrase the question so it can actually be answered. A vague question makes every later section harder to write.
Write to the headings the part names
Use the headings in the part's instructions as your section headings, in the same order. Graders check for each element, and a missing heading is the easiest way to lose points.
Support every claim with current evidence
Cite as you write (At least 5 additional peer-reviewed resources from the last 5 years, 15 in total, each with an annotation of at least 150 words). Prefer peer-reviewed sources from the last five years and say what each one contributes; a citation that only decorates a sentence adds little.
Keep the draft consistent with earlier parts
Reuse the same terms, population and question you used before, and fix anything your instructor flagged in feedback on the previous part. Graders notice when a proposal changes its question halfway through.
Check length and APA before submitting
Confirm the length (750 to 1,000 words, 3 to 5 pages, group submission), the APA format and the reference list. Then read the rubric for this part once more and match each row to a heading.
A structure for NURS 225 Week 7 EBP Project Part 3
Word targets are planning numbers for about 875 words of body text, set by the length in the guide; the rubric decides where to spend more.
| Section | What it must do | Target |
|---|---|---|
| The change | The practice change and the evidence for it. | ~160 words |
| Implementation plan | Steps, people and timeline for the pilot. | ~210 words |
| Budget and funding | What it costs and who would fund it. | ~160 words |
| Stakeholders | Who must agree and how you would win them. | ~120 words |
| Dissemination | Who would hear the results and how. | ~100 words |
| Annotated sources | Five new annotated peer-reviewed sources. | ~120 words |
A topic angle that works
Write it as a short grant request to a hospital foundation: the problem in numbers, the change, the cost (staff time, training, supplies), the expected savings from fewer falls, and the plan to share results through a unit council, a poster and a nursing journal.
Model paragraph with notes
An original paragraph written by our desk to show the register that earns full rubric credit. It is study material: learn the moves, then write your own.
The pilot requires $8,400 for training time and a rounding log, requested from the hospital's nursing foundation.1 If falls with injury drop by the third reported in comparable studies, the unit would avoid about four injurious falls a year, each costing the hospital an estimated $14,000 in added care.2 Results will be shared with the nursing practice council and presented as a poster at the state nurses' association conference.3
- States the request and its use.
- Shows the expected return with evidence.
- Names specific dissemination routes.
