Department of Defense (DoD) Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Concept Award

Current Closing Date for Applications:
Aug 23, 2007


The Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Concept Award supports the exploration of a new idea or innovative concept that could give rise to a testable hypothesis. Presentation of preliminary data is not required and is not consistent with the intent of this award mechanism. However, a rationale for the work must be provided. These awards provide PIs with the opportunity to pursue serendipitous observations. Proposals must describe how the new idea will enhance existing knowledge of traumatic brain injury or create an entirely new avenue for investigation. Research completed through a Concept Award may provide sufficient preliminary data to enable the PI to prepare a proposal for future research. The key initiative of the Concept Award is to spark new ideas, innovative technologies, and ground-breaking concepts that will drive the field of TBI research forward. Concepts that incorporate multiple disciplines are encouraged, as are research proposals involving collaborations among academia, Historically Black Colleges and Universities/Minority Institutions, industry, the military Services, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and other Federal Government agencies.
