ASWB is accepting proposals for research

Published on Apr 12, 2023

ASWB is currently accepting proposals for research related to occupational and professional regulation, with an emphasis on social work regulatory best practices. The RFP, which is available by request, was developed by the association’s Regulatory Research Committee. The committee will also be reviewing and evaluating proposals.

The RFP identifies multiple areas of focus for research, such as

• Variables associated with the results reported in the 2022 ASWB Examination Pass Rate Analysis
• The impact of licensure on the social work profession
• Supervision’s role in social work licensure
• Professional practice standards
• Electronic practice
• Regulatory enforcement

“Questions can be as powerful as answers,” says ASWB CEO Stacey Hardy-Chandler, Ph.D., J.D., LCSW. “As part of our extensive portfolio of initiatives aimed at evolving the future of social work regulation, we are excited about the potential contributions these projects can add to important conversations we are having across the profession.”

Deadline for proposals is May 31, 2023. ASWB anticipates announcing funding selections in late summer 2023.
