Opportunity Summary:
The Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects (DRRP) Program: Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Model System Centers Program is a discretionary federal grant opportunity run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Administration for Community Living (ACL), specifically within NIDILRR (the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research). The funding supports a national network of TBI Model System Centers designed to both deliver high-quality, multidisciplinary rehabilitation services for people with traumatic brain injury and produce rigorous research that strengthens evidence-based rehabilitation practice. The overall emphasis is on generating practical, usable knowledge that improves real-world outcomes for individuals living with TBI.
Funded centers are expected to operate as comprehensive programs that combine clinical capacity with research expertise. On the service side, this means providing coordinated, multidisciplinary care for individuals with TBI, reflecting the reality that effective TBI rehabilitation often requires integrated approaches across medical, cognitive, behavioral, and functional domains. On the research side, centers must conduct studies that contribute directly to evidence-based interventions and inform clinical and practice guidelines. The priority makes clear that the goal is not research for its own sake; the research should lead to better rehabilitation practices and measurable improvements in outcomes.
Applicants must propose research that advances the science of TBI rehabilitation at any stage of research, as long as it contributes to the development of evidence-based practices. Proposed projects must be aimed at improving outcomes for individuals with TBI in at least one of the major outcome domains identified in NIDILRRs Long Range Plan for Fiscal Years 2013-2017. Those domains are: (1) health and function, which can include physical, cognitive, emotional, and overall functional outcomes; (2) community living and participation, which focuses on independent living, social participation, and engagement in community life; and (3) employment, which includes returning to work, maintaining employment, and improving vocational outcomes. In other words, proposals should connect their research aims to meaningful, life-impacting results for people with TBI.
The opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2017 ACL NIDILRR DPTB 0204) is categorized under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, uses the grant funding instrument, and is associated with CFDA 93.433. The anticipated scale of funding listed includes an award ceiling of $465,000, with an expected 16 awards, reflecting an intent to support multiple centers or projects as part of a broader national program.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of public and private entities capable of running research and service programs. Eligible applicants include state, county, and municipal governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding those that are institutions of higher education). The listing also notes an "Others" category with additional eligibility clarifications referenced in the full notice.
Key administrative details included in the source information are that the opportunity was created on March 10, 2017, with an original application deadline of May 9, 2017. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. Overall, the program is structured to strengthen the national capacity for TBI rehabilitation by supporting centers that can simultaneously deliver comprehensive care and produce research that directly informs and improves rehabilitation practice across health, community participation, and employment outcomes.
