FY05 Senate Labor, HHS, and Education
Committee Report Language
September 21, 2004
The ANSWER Committee was successful in its attempt to have
language related to social work research and the National Institutes
of Health (NIH) included in the Senate's FY05 Labor, HHS, and
Education Committee Report (S.Rept. 108-345). The language
is as follows--
NIH-Social Work
The Committee commends the NIH Office of Behavioral and Social
Science Research for its leadership in working together with
NIH Institutes and centers, especially NCI, NIAAA, NIA NIDA,
NIMH, NICHD, and social work organizations and academics to
implement recommendations from the NIH Plan for Social Work
Research, including expanded technical assistance and outreach
and a summer 2004 training institute, and encourages continued
implementation activities including working with appropriate
social work practice , education, and research groups to host
a trans-NIH conference on social work research.
