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
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.

reviews applicants and selects the award
recipient.
The
Ruth Fizdale program will support one $1,500 research grant
for the 2004-2005 program year.
