Welcome to Injury Prevention Success Stories

Welcome to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National Center for Injury Prevention and Control Success Stories Web site!

Here, you’ll find a growing collection of real stories from around the country about successful research and programs related to injury and violence prevention and response. These stories may spark ideas that you can apply in your own efforts.

Another feature here—special software that guides you through the creation of your own success story. It’s free, it’s easy, and your story will be presented in a polished, professionally designed template. You can then easily share your story and create interest in your research and programmatic activities.

If you currently receive funding from CDC’s Injury Center, you’ll be able to submit your story for approval into the permanent archive of the CDC success stories Web site. It’s a great way to display your accomplishments and give positive exposure to your injury and violence prevention and response success.

Actually, you are the key to developing a great archive of stories reflecting lives that were positively affected by best practices in injury and violence prevention and response. By building this archive together, we can learn what works to prevent injuries and violence, and help all Americans live to their full potential!

Now, before you start writing, let’s walk through what you’ll be doing to complete the Success Story Authoring Application.
