The GADE Student Award for Social Work Research is given to a doctoral student or a collaborative group of students, who is published (or in press) scholarship advances scientific inquiry in social work or social welfare. GADE strongly believes that excellent social work research contributes to anti-racist, anti-oppressive practices, programs, and policies within social and educational institutions. Consonant with that belief, the Student Award for Social Work Research seeks to encourage and recognize rigorous scholarly work that clearly contributes to justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion and demonstrates potential to impact social work practice, policy or research.
