He has directed to a greater extent than than l studies together with perhaps, most significantly, served equally Principal Investigator of Berkeley’s Child Welfare Research Center from 1990 to 1996 together with equally Co-Principal Investigator of the National Survey of Child together with Adolescent Well-Being, the offset national written report of tyke welfare services inward the US. He has served equally a lecturer together with consultant to universities together with governments inward many states together with countries. He has been honored to evidence earlier Congressional together with reason regime sub-committees.
In 1900, a mathematician named David Hilbert identified 23 unsolved math problems he thought the patch of mathematics should focus on inward the 20th century [http://www2.clarku.edu/ djoyce/hilbert/]. The problems he identified were complex, together with inward his estimation, solvable. In a lecture delivered earlier the International Congress of Mathematicians at Paris inward 1900, he said, “a mathematical occupation should last hard inward monastic enjoin to entice us, nonetheless non completely inaccessible, lest it mock at our efforts. It should last to us a guide post service on the mazy paths to hidden truths, together with ultimately a reminder of our pleasance inward the successful solution.” The thought that Grand Challenges should last hard nonetheless solvable has move a cornerstone of all subsequent Grand Challenge initiatives. The behavior upon of Hilbert’s “Grand Challenge” for the patch of mathematics cannot last underestimated. And since it worked out thence good for Hilbert to plough over a speak on problems he hasn’t solved, the side past times side fourth dimension I’m asked to plough over a speak I’m only going to listing a bunch of things I haven’t gotten done. I’ve got agency to a greater extent than than 23 on my list. Epic keynote. Call me if you’re interested. Operators are standing by.
So, fast forwards to 2003, when the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation revived the thought of the Grand Challenge, identifying xiv Grand Challenges inward Global Health. There accept been several subsequent Grand Challenge initiatives, including the xiv Grand Challenges proposed past times the National Academy of Engineering inward 2008.
The storey of how the Grand Challenge concept came to social operate begins the agency of many social operate stories– amongst nutrient together with friends. One boundary twenty-four lx minutes menses inward 2011, 3 social operate deans, Stephanie Berzin from Boston College together with Chitat Chan from Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Because of my involvement amongst the Grand Challenge paper, I've had a lot of conversations amongst electrical flow together with futurity scholars nigh the thought of Grand Challenges, together with the specific papers that accept been written equally purpose of the electrical flow initiative. Here are my totally non-scientific poll results of what people intend nigh the initiative: Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 duo of folks accept been actually excited nigh the Grand Challenges. Most accept been skeptical. Since we'll last hearing from 1 of the most song proponents of the Grand Challenge inaugural inward today's episode, I wanted to advert some of the criticisms.
Here's what people similar nigh the Grand Challenge initiative:
I was really glad to accept the chance to speak amongst Dr. Richard Barth nigh the Grand Challenge Initiative. This is the betoken inward the introduction where I normally plough over a brief bio of my guest, but Dr. Barth’s accomplishments are thence extensive that his curt bio is an entire page long.

Dr. Barth together with I spoke at the Jan 2016 Society for Social Work together with Research conference inward Washington, DC. The conference theme was Grand Challenges. I was at the conference to tape interviews for the podcast together with to acquaint 1 of the 2 working papers for the Grand Challenge of Harnessing Technology for Social Good. There were tons of events having to do amongst the GC. There are a duo of times inward the interview when he mentions some upcoming conference events having to do amongst the GCs. I was there. They happened.
In today’s interview I asked Dr. Barth if at that topographic point was a innovation to pick out practitioners, educators together with policy makers on board amongst the Grand Challenge initiatives – he said they were already on board. I asked him to walk us through a Grand Challenge theme – he picked the challenge of Ensuring Healthy Development for All Youth. I asked him if he hopes the Grand Challenge Initiative volition brand to a greater extent than funding available to the profession – he said that he hopes for to a greater extent than resources, non only funding. I asked him if he thought doctoral students should hitch their wagons to the Grand Challenges. He was really diplomatic, but basically said “yes.” I asked him nigh the challenges coordinating betwixt the major social operate organizations, NASW which represents practitioners, CSWE which represents educators, together with SSWR which represents researchers. He said he’s never seen organizations working together thence closely equally they accept amongst the Grand Challenges. I asked him if at that topographic point were topics that people would last surprised to discovery out were non Grand Challenge topics. He said, at that topographic point were several together with thence explained why. As an writer of a Grand Challenge paper, I know that nosotros were asked to conceptualize what could last accomplished inward the side past times side 10 years. So I asked Dr. Barth what he hoped he would last able to say at the 10 twelvemonth anniversary trial of the Grand Challenges.

IntroductionIn 1900, a mathematician named David Hilbert identified 23 unsolved math problems he thought the patch of mathematics should focus on inward the 20th century [http://www2.clarku.edu/ djoyce/hilbert/]. The problems he identified were complex, together with inward his estimation, solvable. In a lecture delivered earlier the International Congress of Mathematicians at Paris inward 1900, he said, “a mathematical occupation should last hard inward monastic enjoin to entice us, nonetheless non completely inaccessible, lest it mock at our efforts. It should last to us a guide post service on the mazy paths to hidden truths, together with ultimately a reminder of our pleasance inward the successful solution.” The thought that Grand Challenges should last hard nonetheless solvable has move a cornerstone of all subsequent Grand Challenge initiatives. The behavior upon of Hilbert’s “Grand Challenge” for the patch of mathematics cannot last underestimated. And since it worked out thence good for Hilbert to plough over a speak on problems he hasn’t solved, the side past times side fourth dimension I’m asked to plough over a speak I’m only going to listing a bunch of things I haven’t gotten done. I’ve got agency to a greater extent than than 23 on my list. Epic keynote. Call me if you’re interested. Operators are standing by.
So, fast forwards to 2003, when the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation revived the thought of the Grand Challenge, identifying xiv Grand Challenges inward Global Health. There accept been several subsequent Grand Challenge initiatives, including the xiv Grand Challenges proposed past times the National Academy of Engineering inward 2008.
The storey of how the Grand Challenge concept came to social operate begins the agency of many social operate stories– amongst nutrient together with friends. One boundary twenty-four lx minutes menses inward 2011, 3 social operate deans, Stephanie Berzin from Boston College together with Chitat Chan from Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Because of my involvement amongst the Grand Challenge paper, I've had a lot of conversations amongst electrical flow together with futurity scholars nigh the thought of Grand Challenges, together with the specific papers that accept been written equally purpose of the electrical flow initiative. Here are my totally non-scientific poll results of what people intend nigh the initiative: Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 duo of folks accept been actually excited nigh the Grand Challenges. Most accept been skeptical. Since we'll last hearing from 1 of the most song proponents of the Grand Challenge inaugural inward today's episode, I wanted to advert some of the criticisms.
- Lots of folks I've talked to accept questioned how the topics were chosen. The most frequent critique is that they are biased towards the enquiry agendas of the Academy fellows, rather than a reflection of the scholarship of the profession equally a whole.
- The Grand Challenges don't map on to most people's areas of enquiry or practice. For example, I specialize inward working amongst suicidal youth. My enquiry could agree nether ensuring salubrious evolution for all youth, closing the wellness gap, eradicating social isolation, harnessing technology, together with reducing extreme economical inequality. So if I wanted to do what the website says together with “join the grand challenges for social work” would I bring together all of them?
- The Grand Challenges seem to last written for together with past times scholars. The Grand Challenges would accept looked dissimilar if they had been developed past times practitioners or educators.
- What if the Grand Challenge isn’t coming upwards amongst novel solutions to problems, but rather to overcoming barriers to implementing existing problems?
- People are concerned that the 10 twelvemonth fourth dimension frame is arbitrary together with is to a greater extent than probable to neglect than succeed. What happens if inward 10 years zero has changed - or if it has it won't accept anything to do amongst the Grand Challenge Imitative? According to a 2014 article inward the Economist [http://www.economist.com/news/science-and-technology/21623581-gates-foundations-grand-challenges-global-health-programme-decade-old], afterward 10 years together with $1 billion dollars none of the projects funded nether the Gates Foundation’s “Grand Challenges” banner has nonetheless made a pregnant contribution to saving lives together with improving wellness inward the developing world.
Here's what people similar nigh the Grand Challenge initiative:
- It could last a unifying projection for social operate scholars, policy makers, educators together with practitioners.
- It could last a agency to pick out scholars from other professions to the social operate table. Dr. Barth volition speak to a greater extent than nigh this, but I volition say that I accept been to a greater extent than intentional nigh seeking out together with engaging amongst physicists, estimator programmers, etc since I started working on the engineering scientific discipline Grand Challenge paper.
- It could aid to focus a profession that is known equally a Jack or Jacqueline of all trades. Because of my involvement on the engineering scientific discipline paper, I accept had to a greater extent than of an involvement inward identifying together with documenting precisely what the purpose of engineering scientific discipline is inward social work, together with what social work's purpose should last inward developing together with using technology. I've had conversations amongst social operate scholars, practitioners together with educators around the basis nigh what the side past times side steps are. I know this wouldn't accept happened without the Grand Challenge Initiative.
- It could move far easier to marketplace social work. I'll last the offset to acknowledge that the phrase "Harness Technology for Social Good" is a much ameliorate headline than "We do lots of materials amongst engineering scientific discipline thence that people accept ameliorate lives."
I was really glad to accept the chance to speak amongst Dr. Richard Barth nigh the Grand Challenge Initiative. This is the betoken inward the introduction where I normally plough over a brief bio of my guest, but Dr. Barth’s accomplishments are thence extensive that his curt bio is an entire page long. To larn to a greater extent than nigh his zillions of awards, publications, together with achievements, delight cheque out the American Academy of Social Work together with Social Welfare website. Dr. Barth together with I spoke at the Jan 2016 Society for Social Work together with Research conference inward Washington, DC. The conference theme was Grand Challenges. I was at the conference to tape interviews for the podcast together with to acquaint 1 of the 2 working papers for the Grand Challenge of Harnessing Technology for Social Good. There were tons of events having to do amongst the GC. There are a duo of times inward the interview when he mentions some upcoming conference events having to do amongst the GCs. I was there. They happened.
In today’s interview I asked Dr. Barth if at that topographic point was a innovation to pick out practitioners, educators together with policy makers on board amongst the Grand Challenge initiatives – he said they were already on board. I asked him to walk us through a Grand Challenge theme – he picked the challenge of Ensuring Healthy Development for All Youth.
