John A. Hartford Foundation Funds Collaborative Project Among BUSSW, University of Wisconsin, and University of Washington

The John A. Hartford Foundation recently funded a two-year collaborative project to develop a National Center for Family Care Initiatives under the leadership of Judith G. Gonyea of Boston University School of Social Work, Rhonda J.V. Montgomery of University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and Nancy R. Hooyman of University of Washington.

The mission of the proposed Center is to expand social work’s capacity to improve the quality of life of older adults and their families. The Center’s long-term goal is to make research resources available nationally to facilitate the development, implementation, and evaluation of innovative social services that will support families in their caring roles.
