SSWR
National Research Capacity Building Initiative
In 2010, SSWR
launched the National Research Capacity Building
Initiative (NRCBI). NRCBI activities advocate
for social work research and social work research
funding at the national level, train researchers
at all career levels, and develop strategies to
expand infrastructure and research capacity building
at schools and departments of social work.
It is critical
that the social work research community maintain
its presence in Washington, D.C. and we’re
pleased that in 2011 Dr. Sarah Gehlert, E. Desmond
Lee Professor of Racial and Ethnic Diversity,
George Warren Brown School of Social Work, Washington
University in St. Louis assumed responsibility
as SSWR Senior Fellow to provide leadership in
this area. Through the NRCBI, SSWR has developed
a long-term strategic solution that will ensure
the profession’s ongoing research presence
at the federal level. SSWR’s representatives
meet frequently with federal funders from NIH,
NIMH, NIA, NIAAA, NCI, NIDA, NINR, NICHD, and
OBSSR, and have met with the Congressional Social
Work Caucus, to promote social work research and
social work research funding, and to enhance the
visibility of social work research as a science-based
discipline.
In collaboration
with other social work organizations to support
research capacity building in all levels of research
programs, SSWR has been working with BPD, GADE,
NADD, CSWE, and NASW to offer workshops, participate
in invited panels, write letters of advocacy or
support, and attend symposiums and conferences
to advance social work research. In addition to
the NRCBI, SSWR continues to hold a highly successful
annual research conference and publish cutting
edge articles in the recently established online,
open access journal, the Journal of the Society
for Social Work and Research.

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

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.
