Research



Our faculty are continually performing research in their areas of interest. Topics of research include (but are not limited to) aging, children, substance abuse, juvenile justice, foster care, ethnicity, and health.

In addition, the Children's Mental Health Services Research Center, a unit of the College, was created with the assistance of a grant funded by the National Institute of Mental Health. The Center conducts research across the state in the area of at-risk children.

The Social Work Office of Research and Public Service (SWORPS) is also a unit of the College. Since its inception, the office has secured more than 40 million dollars in funding from state, local, and federal grants and contracts to support training, technical assistance, and research projects.
