Traumatic Brain Injury Rehabilitation Centers

In 1987 the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research created and provided funding for the Traumatic Brain Injury Model System (TBIMS). The program was created show the benefits of a coordinated system of neurotrauma and rehabilitation care and to conduct research on all aspects of care for those who sustain traumatic brain injuries.

Each of the 16 centers collect data on each individual meeting criteria for inclusion in the TBI National Database. This data is sent to Kessler Medical Rehabilitation Research and Education Corp. The centers provide comprehensive systems of brain injury care to individuals who sustain a traumatic brain injury, from acute care through community re-entry.

The mission of the TBIMS is to improve the lives of persons who experience traumatic brain injury, their families and communities by creating and disseminating new knowledge about the course, treatment and outcomes relating to their condition.
