Cross-Institutional Student Collaboration Grant
Established in 2021, the GADE Initiative for Cross-Institutional Student Collaboration Grant is a mechanism designed to engage students across universities around social work doctoral education topics, with an emphasis on centering student roles, leadership, and perspectives. Selected initiatives will result in sharing of information among institutions and serve as catalysts for discussion and potential new directions and opportunities within diverse social work programs.
The grantees will be provided a certificate and a $2,500 award at the GADE Reception at the Annual Conference of the Society of Social Work and Research.
*Applications for the next grant round are paused.
