Introduction

TBI Central comprises the Web site of the Brain Injury Research Center (BIRC) at Mount Sinai. The BIRC has a sole focus on conducting research addressing the challenges of traumatic brain injury, or TBI. It does this primarily through three Federal grants:

• The Rehabilitation Research and Training Center on Traumatic Brain Injury Interventions (RRTC)
• The New York Traumatic Brain Injury Model System (NYTBIMS)
• The Mount Sinai Injury Control Research Center (ICRC)

The first two of these Centers are funded by the National Institute for Disability and Rehabilitation Research; the third is funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, through awards to the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at Mount Sinai.

This site provides diverse resources for professionals, people with TBI, and their family members.

• Professional training, including postdoctoral fellowships and predoctoral internships
• Opportunities to participate in clinical trials of new treatments
• Obtaining post-TBI acute care and rehabilitation services at The Mount Sinai Medical Center
• TBI-related publications, technical assistance, and Web resources outside of the TBI Central Web site
• Tips for people new to using the Internet
• Answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs) relevant to TBI

You can also provide us feedback or be added to the Brain Injury Research Center's mailing list.
