DoD Psychological Health/ Traumatic Brain Injury Department: Complex Traumatic Brain Injury Rehabilitation Research, Clinical Trial Development Award

The FY18 PH/TBIRP CTRR-CTDA mechanism is being offered for
the first time in FY18 and is intended to support the development of clinical
trials focused on TBI rehabilitation interventions in the FY18 PH/TBIRP
CTRR-CTDA focus areas described in II.A.1. Development of clinical trials
focusing on rehabilitation strategies in patients with mild TBI is highly
encouraged. The proposed research must be relevant to active duty Service
members, Veterans, and their beneficiaries. It is expected that any research findings
will also provide benefit to the general population.

The PH/TBIRP CTRR-CTDA mechanism supports the design and
development of the research resources necessary to serve as a foundation for
investigator-initiated clinical trials under future PH/TBIRP CTRR-Clinical
Trial Award with the potential to develop knowledge and material products for
rehabilitation and restoration of function following TBI. Principal
Investigators (PIs) should explain how the proposed future clinical trial will
inform the development, refinement, and/or revision of existing standards of
care, clinical recommendations, or guidelines.
