The Social Work Leadership Development Awards, funded by the Project on Death in America of the Open Society Institute, aim to promote innovative research and training projects that reflect a collaboration between schools of social work and practice sites that will advance the ongoing development of social work practice, education, and training in the care of the dying. These awards will promote the visibility and prestige of social workers committed to end of life care and enhance their effectiveness as academic leaders, role models, and mentors for future generations of social workers.
