Institute for Geriatric Social Work
The Institute for Geriatric Social Work (IGSW) is an American not-for-profit, non-membership organization serving the fast-growing geriatric social work field.〔(Institute for Geriatric Social Work » Boston University ). Bu.edu. Retrieved on 2010-11-11.〕 Through the efforts of its staff, through its partnerships and through its affiliation with Boston University, IGSW has become a national leader in providing social workers with the practice skills they will need to serve America’s growing population of older adults. Central to this mission have been IGSW’s education and training initiatives, which employ online and face-to-face training methods to reach individual practitioners and social services agencies that seek convenient, accessible, high-quality and low-cost training. Through these and future programs, IGSW intends to improve the quality and effectiveness of continuing professional education for social services practitioners for years to come.〔(Institute for Geriatric Social Work, Boston University ). Bu.edu. Retrieved on 2010-11-11.〕〔() 〕
IGSW was founded in 2002 by its director, Scott Miyake Geron, PhD, who also serves as an associate professor at Boston University School of Social Work,〔(About | School of Social Work | Boston University ).

Grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com (2010-04-15). Retrieved on 2010-11-11.〕 The creation of the Institute was funded through a five-year, $5.12 million grant from the Atlantic Philanthropies.〔http://depts.washington.edu/geroctr/Resources4/ResearchandResources/IGSW-PolicyBulletinNYAM4.04.05.pdf〕 Continuation funding has also been provided by Atlantic in the form of a $720,000 bridge grant and a second five-year grant for $3.1 million, which was awarded late in 2008.〔
A key source of credibility for IGSW is its affiliation with Boston University and specifically with the Boston University School of Social Work.〔
Besides Dr. Geron, IGSW executives include Bronwyn Keefe, MSW, MPH, Assistant Director; Kathy Kuhn, MSW, LICSW, Director of Workforce Development; and Frank Fay, Director of Business Development.〔() 〕 Oversight of the Institute is provided by BU's Vice President and Associate Provost for Research Andrei E.
