HT9425-23-S-TBIPH: FY23 Traumatic Brain Injury and Psychological Health Research Program (TBIPHRP)
Description: The FY23 Defense Appropriations Act provides funding for TBIPHRP to support research
into the treatment, prevention, and detection of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and improved
psychological health. Research and development funded through this Broad Agency Announcement (BAA)
is intended for extramural applicants only. The TBIPHRP’s vision is to optimize the prevention,
assessment, and treatment of psychological health conditions and/or TBIs. Proposed research can be
aligned with TBI, psychological health, or both. The program seeks to fund research that
accelerates solutions to improve the health, well-being, and health care of Service Members, their
Families, Veterans, military beneficiaries, and the American public. Proposed research must be
relevant to active-duty Service Members, Veterans, military beneficiaries, and/or the American
public.
Applications must address one or more Focus Areas, not all of which will be applicable to every
award mechanism. Focus areas include:
• Understand: research will address knowledge gaps in foundational science, epidemiology, and
etiology of psychological health conditions and/or TBIs.
• Prevent and Assess: research will address the prevention or progression of psychological
health conditions and/or TBI through population, selective, and indicated prevention approaches,
including efforts that focus on primary prevention (including protection), screening, diagnosis,
and prognosis.
• Treat: research will address immediate and long-term treatments and improvements in systems
of care, including access to and delivery of healthcare services. Treatment topics may include
novel treatments and interventions, personalized medicine approaches, length and durability of
treatment, rehabilitation, relapse, and relapse prevention. Includes interventions focused on
sensory and motor dysfunction after brain injury.
