Purpose: Recently, public health networks in Australia have introduced clinical research specialists to drive research in the allied health professions by helping clinical social workers engage in research. This study examines the benefits of a flexible research program for busy social work novice and experienced clinicians. Methods: Thirty hospital-based social workers were allocated a total of 12 research projects. Participants were given a mixed-methods survey both pre and post an education program with 17 responses for the presurvey and 12 responses postsurvey. The responses were coded via thematic analysis. Results: Despite initial clinician apprehension, the majority of participants found it beneficial. In the busy hospital context, support that was valued included simplified information and regular mentorship and training. Discussion: The role of a research lead with management support is pivotal in promoting a positive research culture and active research. However, clinical demand still reduces capacity to engage in research
