The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) is soliciting investigator-initiated research that conducts rigorous evaluation research to assess the effectiveness of Return to School programs after traumatic brain injury of all severities

credit:

(e.g., mild, moderate and severe) in children.

These programs have been developed to provide teachers, medical staff and parents with guidance on how best to return a child to school after a traumatic brain injury.

NCIPC invites applications that propose to evaluate existing school-based programs that:
have specific pathways for care for children across all TBI severity and injury mechanisms; include children from elementary through high school; have available data on academic, health, and social outcomes; and are ready for rigorous evaluation.

Funds are available for applicants to conduct such studies, in partnership with a Return to School program and a comparison school program, to help expand and advance our understanding about what works to prevent and manage traumatic brain injury.
