Twain D, Harlow E, Merwin D. 1970. Research and human services: A guide to collaboration for program development. New York, NY: Jewish Board of Guardians, Research and Development Center, 95 pp.

Annotation: This report is based on three conferences on research and development issues sponsored by the Research and Development Center of the Jewish Board of Guardians and funded under Grant MH 15860 from the National Institute of Mental Health. The report is intended to acquaint the administrator and practitioner in the human services with the nature of the joint effort of the agency and the social scientist to develop program through social science based research. This is not a technical description of research itself but a discussion of the kinds of problems which arise in the planning and conducting of action research, and an effort to identify the reasons such difficulties arise and ways in which they might be avoided. The report describes the value of research for program development, traditional orientations, negotiation and planning for research, kinds of research, initiating and conducting research, and utilization of findings.
