This will involve several different steps for the students, including: - Researching potential grant opportunities. - Developing a comprehensive proposal that outlines the company's mission, objectives, and goals. - Writing a compelling narrative that outlines the company's impact on underserved communities in Canada. - Developing a budget that outlines the costs associated with the project. - Developing a timeline for the project. - Developing a strategy for the proposal's submission.

Literature Research

Creating an innovative beverage requires extensive research. I have already paved the way with a great deal of research, but I am looking for some help. I would like to collaborate with students to support literature review by identifying relevant papers and documenting their basic information. Tasks include: Familiarizing themselves with the inclusion / exclusion criteria to determine which studies are relevant. Searching for relevant studies in databases using keywords and documenting the process. Screening the titles and abstracts of papers to determine their relevance to our project. Documenting relevant papers that can be included in our literature review, including information such as authors and date of publication. Reading the full texts of relevant papers and summarizing their results.

Website Evaluation & Reorganization

Our website has been effective for our non-profit organization for a number of years. We have another site (bcbuylocal.com) for our digital campaigns. As we have shifted into more of a reearch-based organization, our current site is poorly designed in terms of content and organization and requires updating. The connection between our two sites also needs to be enhanced, without duplication. We would like to collaborate with students to evaluate our website, make recommendations for improvement and implement the changes. This will involve several different steps for the students, including: Familiarizing themselves with the current structure of our website and our company’s products, target market, mission and vision statements. Conducting background research on factors that affect the quality of websites. Developing a set of criteria to evaluate our web pages and justifying the importance of each criterion, including Search Engine Optimization. Evaluating our web pages based on the established criteria. Bonus steps in the process would also include: Recommending areas for improvement on our website. Implementing changes to web pages. Implementing changes to site's images.
