NAWRS 2025 Workshop

August 3-6, 2025 Charlotte | Omni Charlotte Hotel

Workshop Details

Workshop Focus

The shifting federal landscape raises important questions about how public programs will support individual and family economic well-being. As we enter into this era of change, research will provide policymakers and practitioners with evidence about the needs of their clients, effectiveness of their programs, and opportunities for innovation and efficiency.

Why Attend?

At the 2025 NAWRS Workshop, human services researchers, program administrators, practitioners, and funders from across the country will come together to examine how the social support system has evolved and its trajectory moving forward. We will hear about promising approaches and areas for future exploration. The workshop will also feature practical learning opportunities for researchers and partners on methodological questions and implementation science. True to NAWRS’ collegial tradition, the Workshop will foster collaboration and learning among human services research partners.
