The Traumatic Brain Injury Model System (TBIMS) program is sponsored by the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR), Administration for Community Living, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. TBIMS supports innovative projects and research in the delivery, demonstration, and evaluation of medical, rehabilitation, vocational, and other services designed to meet the needs of individuals with traumatic brain injury.
NIDILRR awards TBI Model System grants to institutions that are national leaders in medical research and patient care for TBI. These institutions provide the highest level of comprehensive specialty services from the point of injury through eventual re-entry into full community life. TBI Model System grants are awarded in five-year cycles, and the Brain Injury Research Center is proud to announce our continued funding for the current cycle (2022 - 2027).
Each TBI Model System contributes to the Traumatic Brain Injury Model System National Data and Statistical Center (TBINDSC). Each institute with a TBI Model System grant participates in independent and collaborative research, and provides information and resources to individuals with TBI and their families, caregivers, and friends; health care professionals; and the general public.
The New York Traumatic Brain Injury (NY-TBI) Model System is housed in the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
