The Grand Challenges have spawned involvement and action in many ways—most notably through a network for each of the 12 Grand Challenges. The networks are flexibly organized, are co-led or multiply-led, and include leading scholars, junior scholars, doctoral students, MSW students, BSW students, and practitioners. Multiple national organizations, including the National Association of Social Workers, the Council on Social Work Education, and the Society for Social Work and Research are using their national and regional conferences and newsletters to spread information about the grand challenges and to help the profession organize around them. Special issues of journals and volumes of books about the grand challenges are lifting up the scholarship and universities are adopting some or all of the grand challenges to focus on solving major social problems. |
