Description
The National Bleeding Disorders Foundation (NBDF) supports clinicians committed to the bleeding disorders community through its Social Work Research & Practice Grant, also presented as the Social Work Excellence Fellowship. The program funds research and clinical projects that generate outcome-related data, integrate psychosocial and biomedical care, improve services for patients and families, contribute to psychosocial literature, and demonstrate social work outcomes.
Research interests include coping with chronic illness or disability, case management, clinical practice improvements, research skills for psychosocial providers, and mental health among people affected by bleeding disorders or bleeding disorders/HIV. Projects may also develop or evaluate media and learning tools for professionals or patients. Cultural diversity is welcomed, and alignment with NBDF’s community-defined research priorities is considered highly competitive.
