Social Work Awarded $120,120 Grant

John Rife

The UNCG Department of Social Work has been awarded $120,120 for the Congregational Social Work Education Initiative. Funding has been provided by the Moses Cone-Wesley Long Community Health Foundation and is effective for the period of October 1, 2007 to September 30, 2008. The grant may be renewed for two additional years based on performance.

This project will train and deploy Master and Bachelor of Social Work students to work in an interdisciplinary manner with nurses from the Foundation-funded Congregational Nursing Program. The students will be from the NC A&T State University and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro Joint Master of Social Work Program and the Joint Bachelor of Social Work Field Instruction program. The social work students will work with nurses to provide health and social services to members of Greensboro-area congregations. The investigators for this project are Dr. John Rife, Dr. Wayne Moore (NCA&TSU), Prof. Kelly J. Poole and Prof. Carolyn Moore.

The Moses Cone-Wesley Long Community Health Foundation was initially funded as one outcome of the merger of Wesley Long Community hospital and the Moses Cone Health System. The Foundation focuses on developing programs and providing resources to enhance the overall health status of the Greensboro-area community.
