Research plays a critical role in addressing problems and fostering wellness (Bright, 2020). The creation, testing, and refinement of interventions that alleviate human suffering is predicated upon the application of the scientific method to disparate social concerns (Popper, 2013). In an increasingly interconnected world, scientific knowledge is essential to societal health and development (Ryan & Daly, 2019), and social work research plays an important role in this process (Kreisberg & Marsh, 2016). Examples in this regard include the efforts of social workers to build financial capability, advance individual and family wellness, and create a more just society (Grand Challenges for Social Work, 2019).
