Research Review:
Publications and Grants
January 2019–December 2020
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
The Work Of The Academy
I am proud to share with you the inaugural issue of a new publication at UNC
School of Social Work: our Research Review, providing a compilation of our faculty’s
recent scholarly achievements.
Through these research activities, more than 40 social work faculty leaders and
innovators are contributing to the body of knowledge in our profession, identifying
new interventions with lasting impact, and addressing some of the most serious
problems facing individuals, families, and communities throughout the world.
Their research has never been more important than it is today. As we have learned
from the COVID-19 pandemic, our social safety nets are vital but fragile. We must
continue to seek new solutions that will advance equity, transform systems, and
improve lives.
At UNC School of Social Work, this is what we have been doing for more than 100
years. Our vision is to be the leading school of social work for impact: Accelerating
discovery and the translation of knowledge into action. The scholarly work
reflected in this review is a strong indication that we are moving in this direction
with intentionality and focus.
We launch this new publication in our centennial year both as a record of what we
have accomplished and as a clarion call to move forward. I invite you to peruse its
pages and see how our faculty are making an impact on the science of social work
practice.
With warm regards,
Gary L. Bowen
Dean
Kenan Distinguished Professor
The Impact Of Our Research
Bridging academic and real-world settings is a hallmark of social work research.
This review of our faculty’s grants and publications reflects something greater than
cutting-edge developments in our scholarship: It reflects real change in the lives
of those here in North Carolina, as well as lives across our nation and around the
globe.
As a School, we have doggedly pursued these changes at a time when new public
health challenges swept local, state, and global communities. Our faculty adapted
to new digital platforms for instruction, conferencing, and data collection while
also renewing their commitment to investigate and address the disparities in
care and resources that COVID-19 underscored. As the pandemic highlighted the
growing interconnectedness of our world, our faculty pursued with new urgency
the University’s broader focus on global outreach. At the same time, faculty have
also reaffirmed the importance of their efforts within North Carolina to address
inequities with intractable causes — such as structural racism — that long predated
the pandemic.
The Office of Strategic Research Priorities is proud to showcase the most recent
chapter of our School’s scholarly leadership. I hope that this review will spark new
collaborative efforts that draw from and add to our faculty’s range of expertise as
we build, together, a just and equitable future.
With warm regards,
Rebecca J. Macy
