虽然社会工作有着悠久而独特的传统，其与实践相关的研究旨在提高老年人的健康和福祉，但在学术研究人员和美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）的科学努力中，这一职业的代表性不足。在这篇文章中，讨论了社会工作者产生和传播经验健康相关知识的内在能力，并描述了社会工作老年研究基础设施的最新发展。在联邦层面上确定了促进职业对实践相关老年医学研究的贡献的新兴领域，并提出了推进该领域研究议程的下一步措施。
Although social work has a long and distinctive tradition of practice-relevant research aimed at enhancing the health and well-being of older adults, the profession has been underrepresented among the ranks of academic researchers and the National Institutes of Health's (NIH) scientific endeavors. In this article, the inherent capacities of social workers to generate and disseminate empirical health-related knowledge are discussed and recent developments in social work's geriatric research infrastructure are described. Emerging domains for advancing the profession's contribution to practice-relevant geriatric research on the federal level are identified and the next steps toward advancing the field's research agenda are posed.
