DoD Psychological Health and Traumatic Brain Injury TBI Endpoints Development Award

archived

The FY13 PH/TBI Research Program TBI Endpoints Development (TED) Award mechanism supports the establishment of a collaborative, multidisciplinary research team to advance endpoints for use in trials involving diagnosis and treatment of mild to moderate TBI (mTBI to modTBI). While a number of potentially useful endpoints for mTBI to modTBI diagnostics and therapeutics exist, a majority of them have not been validated and qualified for use as a reference measure of diagnostic or therapeutic effectiveness. The TED research team will address a critical need within the TBI research community by developing clinically relevant endpoints that can support regulatory approvals and be applicable for use in research tests and clinical trials. The goal is to improve diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation strategies for mTBI to mod TBI. This award is not intended to support the direct development of new TBI therapeutic or diagnostic agents and/or devices.
