Psychological Health and Traumatic Brain Injury Research Program

The Department of Defense (DoD) announces the availability of grant funds to promote research that will advance the prevention, detection, diagnosis, and treatment of military-relevant psychological health (PH) and traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Amount: $6 million across 5 years

Due: October 28, 2009

This Program is focused on the spectrum of PH and TBI research from basic, applied, and clinical research, to translational research that transforms scientific discoveries into clinical applications and best practices that prevent, mitigate, and effectively treat TBI and optimize PH in the short and long term. The goal is to increase understanding of the etiology of PH problems, TBIs, and associated comorbidities – including patients with TBI and/or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, and/or substance dependence/abuse – in order to develop preventive interventions and new treatments and to arrive at evidenced-based solutions.
