Grand Challenges Initiatives have been adopted by various national academies, foundations, universities, public-private partnerships to inspire, align, and focus scientific direction and energy on solving society’s greatest problems. In this session, The American Academy of Social Work and Social Welfare plans to announce a preliminary list of Grand Challenges for Social Work, provide an update on Concept paper topics and the Grand Challenge selection process, offer information about the proposed implementation of Grand Challenges, and seek input about other national initiatives or university efforts in tackling grand challenges for social work.
