Research Grants - Call for Proposals
2011

Purpose:  The purpose for this call for proposals is to fund studies that increase understanding of group leadership, group membership, group processes, or training in group work.  Research may address any of the four group work types (task, psychoeducational, counseling, or therapy).

Amount of Funding: ASGW has allocated $2000 to the Research Committee to support deserving group work research. Distribution will be determined by the Research Committee based on number and quality of proposals submitted.  Typically the committee has identified 2-3 recipients.

Who May Apply: The funds are available to both professional and student members of ASGW.  Student researchers are especially encouraged to apply.

Proposal Format: Proposals must adhere to the following:
*         Proposal must be typed in 12 point font, double spaced, and have one-inch margins.
*         The proposal may be a maximum of 5 pages including a brief budget.
-References may be added in addition to the 5 page limit.

b.       Quality of the Proposed Research:

 *   Proposed topic is within the scope of group work, with the research question centered on the training of group workers or the process/outcome of group work (5 pts. possible).
 *   Proposed topic is relevant to group work as evidenced by a well-organized, succinct literature review, including diversity, multicultural, or social justice implications (5 pts. possible).
