Memorial University's Strategic Research Intensity Plan 2014-2020 builds on the university's Research Strategy Framework to support the university's vision to " ... be one of the most distinguished public universities in Canada and beyond ..." .

The School of Social Work is an active and vibrant research environment. Faculty are engaged in a diverse range of scholarly activities, much of it funded through tri-council agencies, contracts with federal agencies, provincial and local foundations and agencies, and through internal competitions at Memorial University. For recent examples of internally and externally funded projects, please see Funded Research.

The faculty is also very involved in public engagement. Some of these projects can be found at the Public Engagementmenu item.  

These lists taken together provide a glimpse into the activity and the diversity of the School’s faculty. A list of recent publications can be found at Scholarly Publications and further listings are included in each faculty member’s biography at Our People.
