HEP 466 Module 3 Module 3 Artifact: Program Budget Presentation Example

Reviewed by Emmett Rockwell, MBA Arizona State University Updated October 2026

This HEP 466 Module 3 sample is the budget artifact presentation in Health Promotion Program Management, the leadership and administration course in ASU's Health Education and Health Promotion degree. Worth 50 points, one of two artifact presentations in ASU HEP 466, the Module 3 task asks students to design a program budget with ChatGPT and a spreadsheet and present it. The composite student budgets one year of A Matter of Balance, a group workshop that reduces fear of falling, at Tempe senior centers. Nine slides with speaker notes show the need, the program design, each cost category, the indirect rate under federal rules, the total and cost per participant, how AI was used and checked and the budget's main risks.

Slide 1: Keeping Seniors on Their Feet

A Matter of Balance at Tempe senior centers. One-year budget: $39,100.

Speaker notes: Today I will walk you through what it would cost to run ten fall-prevention workshops for older adults in Tempe for one year, and why each line is there.

Slide 2: The Need

27.6% of adults 65+ reported a fall in the past year. 38,742 older adults died from falls in 2021.

Speaker notes: For adults 65 and older, no other cause produces as many injuries or injury deaths as falls. In national data, more than a quarter of older adults reported a fall in 2020, and nearly 39,000 died from falls in 2021 (Kakara et al., 2023).

Slide 3: The Program

8 sessions, 2 hours each. 8 to 12 participants per workshop. Two trained lay coaches. 10 workshops, about 120 participants.

Speaker notes: A Matter of Balance was tested in a randomized trial in senior housing, where it increased intended activity and mobility control right after the program (Tennstedt et al., 1998). Effects faded without boosters, so I added a booster session to each workshop at no extra line-item cost.

Slide 4: Personnel

Program coordinator, 0.25 FTE: $14,000. Fringe at 30%: $4,200. Coach stipends, 20 at $200: $4,000.

Speaker notes: Personnel is just over half the budget. The coordinator recruits sites and participants, schedules coaches and runs the evaluation. Coaches are volunteers who receive a stipend for each workshop they co-lead.

Slide 5: Other Direct Costs

Coach training: $2,500. Participant materials, 120 at $20: $2,400. Refreshments: $3,200. Transportation vouchers: $1,500. Printing and outreach: $1,200. Evaluation: $1,000.

Speaker notes: Every line ties to an activity. Refreshments help attendance in two-hour sessions, but some funders do not allow food, so I listed it separately in case it must be cut or covered by a partner.

Slide 6: Indirect Costs

Direct costs: $34,000. Indirect at 15%: $5,100. Total: $39,100.

Speaker notes: Under the federal Uniform Guidance, an organization without a negotiated rate may charge a de minimis indirect rate of up to 15% of modified total direct costs, as section 200.414 of the Uniform Guidance allows (2 C.F.R. § 200.414). Indirect costs cover things like rent, accounting and insurance that support the program but cannot be tied to one activity.

Slide 7: Cost per Participant

$39,100 ÷ 120 participants = about $326 each. Without indirect costs: about $283.

Speaker notes: A funder will want to compare this program with others, so cost per participant is the single number to remember. It falls if workshops fill to 12.

Slide 8: How I Used ChatGPT

Asked it to list typical cost categories for a community workshop. Kept the categories, replaced every figure with local or published estimates and checked the math in Sheets.

Speaker notes: ChatGPT gave me a useful checklist, but its numbers were generic and it suggested a 10% indirect rate, which is out of date. I corrected that against the current regulation.

Slide 9: Risks and Questions

Low enrollment raises cost per participant. Coach turnover adds training costs. Food may be unallowable. Questions?

Speaker notes: My contingency plan is to partner with the city's senior programs for recruitment and to keep a waiting list of coach volunteers. I am happy to take your questions.

What the HEP 466 Module 3 instructions ask for

The Module 3 artifact in HEP 466 asks you to design a program budget using ChatGPT and Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets and to present it; the syllabus grades two artifact presentations at 50 points each. Choose a realistic health promotion program, list every cost it needs for a year and justify each line. Group costs into personnel, fringe, other direct costs and indirect costs, and show the totals. Because the module asks you to use ChatGPT, describe how you used it and how you checked its output, since AI tools often produce plausible but wrong figures. Follow the instructor's format for slides, recording and length.

Inside the HEP 466 Module 3 example

The sample's nine slides move from the need and the program design to two slides of line items, then indirect costs, cost per participant, a slide on AI use and a closing slide on risks. Each slide carries only the key numbers, and the speaker notes explain why each cost exists. The indirect rate is tied to the current federal regulation, and the AI slide shows a specific error the student caught and fixed. The budget follows a standard order, personnel, fringe, other direct costs and indirect costs, so a reviewer used to grant budgets can follow it at a glance. Food is isolated on its own line because funders treat it differently, and the cost per participant is shown with and without indirect costs.

HEP 466 Module 3 rubric: what earns full marks

The artifact is worth 50 points. Readers look for a complete, internally consistent budget, line items linked to program activities, correct arithmetic, a clear justification and a professional presentation. Marks drop when costs appear without explanation, when totals do not add up, when personnel or indirect costs are missing, when AI output is pasted without checking and when slides are crowded with spreadsheet cells too small to read. Strong artifacts also show that the student understands why each rule exists, for example why indirect costs are capped, and they plan for the most likely risk, such as low enrollment. A brief, honest account of AI use, including a mistake caught, often impresses graders more than a perfect-looking deck.

HEP 466 Module 3 help with common mistakes

Build the spreadsheet first and let formulas do the arithmetic. Write a one-line justification for every row. Check the funder's rules for food, incentives and indirect costs. Ask ChatGPT for categories, not numbers, and verify any figure it gives. Show cost per participant. Put the full spreadsheet in an appendix and only the totals on slides. If your budget does not balance, the desk can help find the error. Price local items from real sources, such as a printer quote or a posted mileage rate, and note where each figure came from. Keep slides readable from the back of a room: large numbers, few words. Rehearse explaining one line in detail in case you are asked.
