The Project on Death in America (PDIA) Social Work Leadership Award is given annually to social workers who demonstrate outstanding leadership and have advanced the field in end-of-life, hospice and palliative care. The goal of this new award is to acknowledge and increase the visibility of social workers’ contributions to the field, and encourage future generations to continue providing quality care to the seriously ill, dying and bereaved.
The recipient will attend the annual conference of a selected social work or palliative care professional organization where they will receive this award and have an opportunity to present a summary of their work. The recipient will also be encouraged to publish their work in a professional journal.
