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.

Social 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. Other resources related to social work research are available here on the website.  Please click here to subscribe to SWRnet (http://www.bu.edu/swrnet/)

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.
