Welcome to the National Violence Against Women Prevention Research Center website (NVAWPRC).  Both this website and the NVAWPRC are sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. We have designed this website to be useful to scientists, practitioners, advocates, grassroots organizations, and any other professional or lay person interested in current topics related to violence against women and its prevention. We invite you to browse our topics and send us your feedback on both our content and our organization.

If you are, or have been, a victim of violence and are searching for help, please visit our "For Survivors" section of our website for resources for victims. To find out what's NEW on our site visit "New Postings."

If you have received an invitation to participate in the National Violence Against Women Direct Practice Survey, please visit our "NVAWDP Survey" section of our website. Only one survey should be completed per organization.

This work sponsored, in part, by Cooperative Agreement R49/CCR415877 from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
