About UsOverviewWhat Is the RRTC’s Mission?The overall goal of the RRTC on TBI Interventions is to enhance the cognitive, physical, and emotional functioning of people with TBI. This goal will be accomplished through RRTC research activities that produce new knowledge. This knowledge will be translated by the RRTC into information useful for targeted audiences — through training, dissemination and technical assistance activities. The goal is the creation and adoption of innovative post-TBI interventions, improvement of community-based post-TBI treatment and services, and better research tools. In the long term, results of RRTC activities should aid people with TBI in participating more fully in home, work, and community activities, in a manner that enhances their life satisfaction. The agenda and shape of RRTC products have been and will continually be defined and shaped through feedback from consumers: both professionals and individuals with TBI, as part of Participatory Action Research. How Is the RRTC Funded?The RRTC is funded for a five-year period (October 1, 2004 - September 30, 2009) by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research, U.S. Department of Education (Grant No. H133B040033).
