Research at Brain Trauma Foundation

Brain Trauma Foundation constantly seeks to improve TBI patient outcomes. To do this, we lead the way in cutting-edge clinical research spanning the spectrum from concussion to coma. We are primarily funded by the Department of War, through our partnership with the Military TBI initiative and also partner with prestigious research organizations through our Scientific Advisory board.

OUR WORK

Brain Trauma Foundation is leading the way in conducting clinical and field research on traumatic brain injuries (TBI). Our work ranges from bedside clinical interventions (ELASTIC) for severe TBI to rapid assessment of readiness for concussions (READY).
