NTR30004: Public Health Nutrition Assessment

Project Details

1. Project Title

Provide a name for your project that clearly describes its purpose and stays within 20 words. The title should reflect the main aim of your intervention and be engaging enough to communicate what the project intends to achieve.

2. Intervention Summary Statement 

Provide a concise overview of the project, describing the purpose of the intervention, the target population, the activities you will conduct, and the expected outcomes. Include both qualitative and quantitative elements where relevant.
Your summary should clearly explain the public health nutrition problem you aim to address, why the project is needed, and how it aligns with health promotion principles.
Briefly mention the health promotion frameworks guiding your project, demonstrating how it supports primary prevention rather than treatment.
This section should clearly tell the reader what the project is, why it matters, who it serves, and how it will be implemented.
It is recommended that you complete this section last.

Project Rationale / Need for the Project

3. Target Groups

Identify which population groups will benefit from your project. Although multiple groups could be selected, focus on those you can realistically reach. Options include people with low incomes, disabilities, transport challenges, culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, rural or remote residents, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, asylum seekers or refugees, individuals experiencing homelessness, elderly people, people living with mental illness, children, or others relevant to your intervention.

4. Public Health Nutrition Issue and Project Need 

Clearly state the public health nutrition issue your project aims to address. Explain why the issue is relevant to your chosen population and why the target community has been selected.
Provide a narrative-style needs analysis using real data, statistics, research, and evidence from credible sources.
Describe how the need for the project was identified and explain how addressing this issue will benefit your chosen population.
Your response should give readers a strong understanding of the scale, causes, consequences, and urgency of the public health nutrition problem and illustrate how the intervention will make meaningful impact.

5. Determinants Related to the Public Health Nutrition Issue 

Identify the key determinants influencing your public health nutrition issue these may include social, economic, environmental, behavioural, and cultural determinants.
Provide a written description explaining the relationship between these determinants and the nutrition issue affecting your target community.
Your analysis should be supported with evidence and reflect thorough research.
Although a visual map is normally required, here you will describe the determinant analysis clearly in narrative format.

6. Evidence Supporting Project Success (200 words)

Summarise the evidence base that supports the potential effectiveness of your proposed intervention.
Include references to prior research, guidelines, previous successful programs, or community initiatives conducted by partner organisations.
Demonstrate that similar interventions have succeeded and that your approach is grounded in validated strategies.
The aim is to show that your project is realistic, achievable, and likely to yield positive outcomes.

Project Planning

7. Project Goal and Objectives

State the overall goal of your project and list the specific objectives clearly.
Goals represent the broad, long-term desired outcomes, while objectives are precise, measurable statements that outline the actions needed to achieve the goal.
Both must align with the public health nutrition issue, the identified determinants, and health promotion principles.

8. Strategies, Actions, Indicators, Responsibilities, Timelines, and Evaluation Methods

For each project objective, describe the strategies and actions you will implement to meet the objective.
Explain the indicators or measures that will demonstrate completion, such as participant numbers, percentage improvements, or number of sessions delivered.
Identify who is responsible for each action, outline the timeline (including months or weeks needed), and describe the evaluation methods you will use to assess progress such as surveys, attendance records, interviews, program observations, or documented outputs.
This section should clearly explain what will be done, how you will demonstrate success, who will be accountable, and how data will be collected to measure outcomes.

9. Project Timeline and Key Milestones

Describe your Gantt chart in paragraph format.
Outline all major project activities, list who is responsible for each task, and specify the duration of each activity across the project timeline.
Explain how activities progress sequentially throughout the year, where tasks may overlap, and how each milestone contributes to the overall project workflow.
This narrative description should provide a clear picture of the project schedule from start to completion.

10. Project Partners and Contributions

Identify project partners and describe in detail how each partner will support your intervention.
Explain their roles, such as community engagement, expertise, resource contributions, facility access, or financial support.
Describe each partner’s value to the project and how collaboration enhances project success.

11. Project Budget (Financial and In-Kind Contributions)

Provide a detailed narrative of all expenses required for your project.
Explain each cost, including human resources, materials, equipment, venue hire, program supplies, or participant incentives.
Describe how costs were calculated and articulate which expenses will be covered by grant funding.
Identify any in-kind contributions provided by partners, explaining the value of these contributions and how they support the project without drawing on grant funds.
Finally, summarise the total financial cost, total value of in-kind support, and the overall project value.

Evaluation and Project Sustainability

12. Evaluation Plan

Provide a summary of how you will conduct process, impact, and outcome evaluation for the project.
Explain what each form of evaluation focuses on and how it will be measured. For example:

• Process evaluation assesses implementation activities such as number of sessions delivered, attendance rates, participant engagement, and whether planned actions were completed.

• Impact evaluation measures short-term changes such as increased knowledge, shifts in attitudes, improved behavioural intentions, or skill acquisition.

• Outcome evaluation assesses long-term changes such as improved dietary behaviours, increased food security, or improved community capacity.
  Describe the methods you will use for evaluation such as surveys, interviews, attendance records, pre/post assessments, or observational tools and the indicators used to measure success.
  Ensure the evaluation aligns directly with the project’s objectives and strategies.

Brief summary of assessment requirements 

This assessment requires a complete grant-style project plan and justification for a public health nutrition intervention. Your submission must demonstrate capability in needs assessment, evidence-based planning, project design, budgeting, partner engagement, and evaluation. Key elements to include:

• Project title: concise (≤20 words) and descriptive of intent.
• Intervention summary (≤400 words): succinct description of the project aim, target population, core activities, and expected outcomes; link to health-promotion principles and frameworks (primary prevention focus).
• Target groups: identify realistically reachable populations (e.g., low-income households, CALD communities, remote residents, Indigenous peoples, children).
• Needs analysis (≤400 words): clear statement of the public-health nutrition issue, rationale for site/population selection, and supporting evidence (statistics, published data, community consultations).

How the Academic Mentor guided the student 

The mentor used a scaffolded approach to ensure the student produced a coherent, evidence-based grant application while developing practical planning skills.

Step 1 : Clarify scope and choose a feasible issue

Mentor reviewed assessment brief and learning outcomes with the student, helped them select a realistic public-health nutrition issue and target population (considering reach and feasibility), and advised on the most appropriate health-promotion frameworks to reference (e.g., Ottawa Charter, Social Determinants of Health, ecological models).

Step 2 : Conduct and document the needs analysis

Mentor directed the student to credible data sources (ABS, state health reports, peer-reviewed studies) and community information. The student was coached to synthesise quantitative (prevalence, service gaps) and qualitative (community consultation notes) evidence into a concise needs narrative.

Step 3 : Map determinants and link to objectives

Mentor introduced a determinants approach and modelled how to turn determinants (e.g., food access, income, transport, cultural factors) into targeted objectives. The student learned to explain causal links between determinants and the nutrition issue.

Step 4 : Build the intervention logic (goal → objectives → activities)

Mentor helped the student craft one clear project goal and 3–5 SMART objectives. For each objective the student drafted specific strategies and actions that directly address identified determinants.

Step 5 : Define indicators and evaluation methods

Mentor emphasised measurable indicators (e.g., % change in knowledge, attendance, number of meals provided), and advised simple, feasible methods (pre/post surveys, attendance logs, qualitative interviews). The student aligned each indicator to an objective and chose appropriate data collection tools.

Step 6 : Design timeline and operational plan

Mentor reviewed a draft activity sequence, urged realistic durations, and helped the student write a narrative Gantt description showing dependencies, overlap and milestones.

Step 7 : Identify partners & value in-kind support

Mentor suggested potential local partners (community centres, schools, food banks) and coached the student to convert partner contributions into documented in-kind values (staff hours, venue hire).

Step 8 : Prepare a defensible budget

Mentor taught costing principles: unit costs, volunteer valuation, and sensible contingency. The student itemised staff time, materials, venue, and participant incentives and annotated how each figure was calculated.

Step 9 : Construct evaluation and sustainability plans

Mentor guided the student to articulate process, impact and outcome evaluation activities, and to design a sustainability pathway (capacity building, partner handover, low-cost scaling).

Step 10 : Review, refine and reference

Mentor performed iterative reviews for clarity, alignment, word limits and referencing. The student revised the intervention summary last to reflect the finalised plan.
