Traumatic Brain Injury

What this funds

The Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) program supports states and communities in building comprehensive, coordinated, and person-centered systems of services for people who have experienced a TBI and their families. The program focuses on improving access to supports that are often fragmented across health, disability, and social service systems, making navigation difficult for individuals with complex needs. The program operates through two complementary grant components. The TBI State Partnership Program provides competitive grants to states to establish a single, coordinated focal point for TBI services. These grants support state-level leadership and cross-system coordination to expand access to integrated services and improve long-term outcomes for people with TBI and their families. Grantees receive technical assistance from the TBI Technical Assistance and Resource Center, which also provides resources to non- grantee states, policymakers, providers, and individuals affected by brain injury. In parallel, TBI Protection and Advocacy grants are awarded to protection and advocacy organizations in every state and territory, the District of Columbia, and one Native American consortium. These formula grants support direct advocacy and legal services that help people with TBI protect their rights and remain living independently. Funded activities include individual and family advocacy, self-advocacy training, information and referral, and legal representation. Together, the TBI State Partnership and Protection and Advocacy components strengthen both system- level coordination and individual-level protections. By improving access to coordinated services and ensuring rights are upheld, the program supports independence and stability for people with TBI while reducing barriers that can lead to higher-cost, less appropriate care.

Linked contracts are a floor, not a census. Coverage is bounded by how distinctively a program is named and, for performer links, to RDT&E and Procurement — O&M and military construction publish no performers. Budget figures are FY2027 request dollars; contract figures are obligations. The two measure different things and must never be summed together.
