Template Explanation on the Direct Practice Improvement (DPI) Project
Proposal and the DPI Final Manuscript Template (all-in-one)
This template is used for both the DPI Project Proposal as well as the Final Manuscript.
You are required to refer to yourself as the Primary Investigator throughout the proposal and final manuscript. It is preferred that you write your manuscript in the third person, but when necessary, you must refer to yourself as the Primary Investigator.
In your proposal, you will write in the future tense (present tense, i.e., the purpose of this quantitative quasi-experimental project is to…). In contrast, in the final manuscript , you will write in the past tense (the purpose of this quantitative quasi-experimental project was to… as now you have implemented your project)
In DNP 955, you will be writing chapters 1-3 which also includes your 10-Strategic Points as an appendix. The learner is required to submit to AQR-1 by the due date week 8 (or you will not pass the course) with your manuscript in the present (future tense). In addition, in DNP 955, the appendices are as follows:
· Appendix A is your 10 Strategic Points – REQUIRED
· Appendix C is your permission to use your instrument/tools -REQUIRED (if your project includes the use of an instrument)
· Appendix D is a detailed process you as the learner will use to prepare staff/health care providers to implement the practice improvement intervention. This should include specific information obtained from the literature and from developers of the evidence-based practice guideline, protocol, toolkit, or screening tool, etc. An agenda may be included as well as an outline of materials to be used, delivery method, handouts, ppts., when, & where. Remember when you submit to AQR-1, you will include your completed cover page, abstract, TOC, chapters 1-3, and your appendices in the current APA edition.
DO NOT DELETE CHAPTERS 4 AND 5 FROM THE PAPER OR YOU WILL LOSE THE FORMATTING. THE REVIEWERS ARE AWARE THEY WILL BE INCLUDED BUT ARE NOT GOING TO BE REVIEWED DURING AQR-1.
In DNP 960, you are required to make all recommended changes listed within your AQR-1 review for chapters 1-3. This is not optional; failure to do so may result in a failing grade for DNP-960. Address all comments in the 10-Strategic Points. All edits from your AQR-1 revisions are to remain in the present (future tense) until you have received the written GCU DNP IRB Outcome Letter (typically between weeks 3-7). After you have begun implementation, you may start to write in the past tense for all 5 chapters. While waiting for the outcome letter, it is expected that all learners will write chapters 4 (including tables and figures) and 5 as a draft in preparation for the data they will be collecting in implementation.
In DNP 965, all writing in the manuscript is written in the past tense (as long as you have received the GCU DNP IRB Outcome Letter. Submission to AQR-2 occurs at the end of week 5 in DNP 965 (required to progress to final manuscript review, no AQR- 2= continuation course).
In this AQR-2 submission, you will submit all five chapters with the actual data (not the made update from DNP-960) along with your cover page, copywrite page, title page, abstract (paragraph form), TOC (updateable), the body of the manuscript, and all applicable appendices:
· Appendix A GCU IRB Outcome Letter
· Appendix B is your instrument/tools -REQUIRED (if your project includes the use of an instrument/Tool)
· Appendix C is your permission to use your instrument/tools -REQUIRED (if your project includes the use of an instrument)
· Appendix D is a detailed process you as the learner will use to prepare staff/health care providers to implement the practice improvement intervention. This should include specific information obtained from the literature and from developers of the evidence-based practice guideline, protocol, toolkit, or screening tool, etc. An agenda may be included as well as an outline of materials to be used, delivery method, handouts, ppts., when, & where.
· No other appendices are needed unless you have multiple tools (which is not recommended).
*Please make certain that you have used programs such as Grammarly (check into investing in Grammarly Premium), ThinkingStorm (GCU), an editor, a formatter, statistician, and any additional resources you feel like you need to be successful before you submit to AQR-2 and most importantly, before final manuscript review.
Feel free to contact the AQR Manager for any questions or concerns related specifically to AQR-1 or AQR-2. Meet regularly with your Chair, mentor, and/or content expert to ensure that your manuscript meets all requirements, deadlines, and revisions. Your DNP faculty, Chairs, and Program Lead want you to be successful and are here to support you each step of the way! Please use your University Policy Handbook on your chain of command and any appeal you feel you might need.
Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, O Lord. – Psalm 89:15

A paired t-test showed that there was a statistically significant improvement in patient's motivation to quit smoking (M=-2.86; SD=1.29; p=0.003), a substantial decrease in nicotine dependence (M= -1.86; SD=1.41; p=0.001), and 100% of the healthcare providers (n=6) were compliant in assessing tobacco use p=0.000).
