Dear Senator or Representative [ Last Name] :

I am a [student, faculty, researcher] at [university or organization] . I would like to talk to you about the National Center for Social Work Research Act.

The National Center for Social Work Research Act authorizes the establishment of a social work research center to support, promote, and disseminate research on the prevention and treatment of critical health and social problems. Such a center will provide vital information that can be used by members of Congress, social workers, and other professionals to develop effective policies addressing complex social problems. By building the social work knowledge base and consolidating best practices for the delivery of social work services, it will also help the social work profession and other service delivery professions provide more effective services to the public.

I would like to meet with you and your appropriate staff members on [date and general time] for approximately 20 minutes to provide you with information on this important issue. Obtaining your support on this legislation is critical to the social work profession, and also for those to whom social workers provide services.

Thank you for considering this request . To schedule an appointment, please contact me at [phone number & e-mail].

Sincerely,
