Opportunities for research participation
Opportunities to advertise research with the AASW
The AASW National Research Committee; as part of its commitment to promote and encourage social workers’ involvement in research; reviews and approves various research projects to be advertised to members. Both conducting and participating in research are considered to be key professional development activities and can be counted towards your annual CPD. If you participate in any of the research activities listed below, you can record this as a Category 3 activity (Professional Identity) in your online CPD record.
