PURPOSE
This assignment provides the opportunity to continue the development of the evidence-based practice (EBP) project proposal by adding the research critique table, theoretical framework and change model sections.  In addition, the student is required to complete the National Institutes of Health (NIH) certification regarding human subjects.  The NIH information focuses on the history of the legal and ethical issues related to research and informed consent.

Description of the Assignment
For this assignment students are required to continue the development of their EBP project proposal by adding the new sections of:
•    Research Table Critique with reference citation and permalink for each reference
•    Theoretical Framework
•    Change model.
In addition, each student is required to complete the Protecting Human Research Participants (PHRP) course as presented by the National Institutes of Health.
