SSWR’s
launch of the National Research Capacity Building
Initiative


Starting in 2010 SSWR, in collaboration with
Dr. Llewellyn Cornelius (University of Maryland,
Baltimore), will create mechanisms that will increase
social work research’s visibility and promote
it among federal funders. Through this effort
SSWR will highlight and advance the outstanding
work of social work faculty engaged in research
and continue to expand infrastructure and research
capacity building strategies on the national level.

Work Research Network (SWRnet)
Boston University School of Social Work
The Social Work
Research Network (SWRnet) provides
timely information about research resources for
all areas of social work practice and research.
Subscribers to SWRnet receive weekly email updates
about funding opportunities, calls for papers,
conference deadlines, and newly published research.

are available here on the website. Please

Social
Work NIH Grant Directory
The Social Work NIH Grant Directory provides
an overview of NIH grants awarded to social work
researchers between 1993 and the present time.
The listing includes researchers at social work
programs or those at other institutions that were
identified as having a social work degree. We
recognize that the information in this directory
may not be as comprehensive as we would like and
therefore ask that you provide us with updates
on past and current grants.
The Directory was launched in 2004 by the Institute
for the Advancement of Social Work Research (IASWR).
When IASWR dissolved in October 2009, the Boston
College Graduate School of Social Work committed
to continuing to keep the Directory up to date.
We hope that you will find the information as
inspiring and informative as we do. The Directory
illustrates the depth of social work research
and it shows the exciting and challenging road
ahead. Moreover, it provides unique opportunities
for junior faculty to reach out to accomplished
researchers and form collaborations across universities
and programs.
