For the second consecutive year, ACL's collaboration with several HHS agencies has led to a finalist submission for the HHS Innovates People's Choice Award. And, your vote will decide if "Suicide Prevention: What is your role" will receive the top recognition.
"Suicide Prevention: What is your role?" combined the reach of the Web and the power of community engagement to reduce suicide, the 10th leading cause of death in the nation. Visit HHS Innovates to learn more about "Suicide Prevention: What is your role?", the other finalists, and to cast your vote. Voting will close Friday, June 13.
In 2009, Secretary Sebelius established HHS Innovates to recognize employees and their achievements in using new concepts to solve important challenges in the workplace. Last year ACL was honored to receive both the Secretary's Innovates Award and the People's Choice Award for its entry "Connecting to Combat Alzheimer's Disease," a project to increase participation in clinical research by leveraging aging and public health networks.
