This article offers a review of the major literature about the modern status of social work as a science within the western context and its implications for Georgia, the former Soviet Union Country. It identifies the most appropriate types of social work research (e.g. translational research) that can be used for bridging the science and service communities to directly affect the provision of services across different social work sectors. It also summarizes the current situation of doctoral social work education in the western countries as well as in Georgia and outlines the main features of a sound social work doctoral program
