NASW Foundation National Programs
Ruth Fizdale Program

The Ruth Fizdale Program underwrites research projects that link practice and policy issues with relevant social issues. The objective is to facilitate effective service delivery. The program provides opportunities for NASW chapters to conduct pilot research projects targeted to a specific emerging issue. These pilot projects then may serve as cornerstones for developing more comprehensive research projects.

The application deadline for the 2010-2011 awards is March 26, 2010.
New in 2010, the NASW Foundation will be using an online process for scholarship, fellowship, NASW Chapter awards and recognition award nominations. Instructions and forms for submitting online materials are coming soon. To get started, you may refer to the award Guidelines for eligibility criteria and application requirements.

The Ruth Fizdale Program was created in 1987 by Dr. Helen K. Rehr and other friends of Ruth Fizdale, to honor her contributions to social work. The founders' intent was that, as an endowment, the income would be used to help underwrite studies related to people with social needs. Funding would be made available to seed pilot projects that could lead to projects that are larger and more comprehensive in scope.

The Fizdale grant is awarded based on the projected annual earnings to the fund and contributions. To make a donation, click below. A panel reviews applicants and selects the award recipient.

The Ruth Fizdale program will support one research grant, up to $2,500, for the 2010-2011 program year.
