Traumatic Brain Injury Model Systems National Data and Statistical Center

Description

The purpose of NIDILRR's Disability and Rehabilitation Research Project (DRRP) grants is to improve the effectiveness of services authorized under the Rehabilitation Act by generating knowledge or developing methods, procedures, and rehabilitation technologies that advance a wide range of independent living and employment outcomes for individuals with disabilities, especially those with the greatest support needs. This Center will advance medical rehabilitation by increasing the rigor and efficiency of scientific efforts to longitudinally assess the experiences and outcomes of individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI). This Center must maintain the national longitudinal database for data submitted by each of the TBI Model Systems Centers. This Center must also ensure collection of high quality data, and support rigorous research by the Model Systems centers by monitoring data quality, providing training in the collection of TBI Model Systems data, providing methodological consultation to these centers, and other collaborative tasks. The grant will have a 60-month project period, with five 12-month budget periods.
