The Model Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) System program, sponsored by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR), Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services, U.S. Department of Education, supports innovative projects and research in the delivery, demonstration, and evaluation of medical, rehabilitation, vocational and other services to meet the needs of individuals with traumatic brain injury.
NIDRR awards Model TBI System grants to institutions that are national leaders in medical research and patient care and provide the highest level of comprehensive specialty services, from the point of injury through rehabilitation and re-entry into full community life.
Each TBI Model System contributes to the national TBI database, participates in independent and collaborative research, and provides information and resources to individuals with TBI, their family and care givers, health care professionals and the general public.
Grants are awarded in five-year cycles. The current 2007-2012 cycle consists of 14 TBI Model System projects around the U.S. as well as one TBI data center that directs the collection, management and analysis of an ongoing national TBI database.
