The School of Social Work houses several collaborative research centers and groups that offer students the opportunity to participate in a variety of research projects and/or trainings.
The Center for Health Aging in Multi-Cultural Populations (CHAMP)
The Center promotes healthy aging among multi-cultural and diverse populations living in the San Francisco Bay area. With faculty affiliates from all academic disciplines at SJSU, the Center facilitates interdisciplinary aging research, education and training, and strategic partnerships with community-based organizations working with older adults.
