Research Gateway
“Research serves to make building stones out of stumbling blocks”
– Arthur D. Little
NCSS builds research capability and facilitates research amongst VWOs through the provision of funding support and sharing of research expertise and knowledge. As part of NCSS's efforts to facilitate social service research, the Research Gateway aims to provide social service practitioners and administrators with relevant resources to apply evidence-based practice in the delivery of quality social services. The Gateway includes, abstracts of research studies, links to research websites and useful statistics etc. The Gateway also aims to pave the way for research ideas to be sown and be translated into research projects that will grow the body of knowledge in the sector, thereby building sector capability in the longer term.
