Opportunity Summary:
The State Protection and Advocacy Traumatic Brain Injury Program (PATBI) is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). The program is designed to strengthen and expand protection and advocacy services for people living with traumatic brain injury (TBI), with a clear focus on safeguarding civil and legal rights and improving access to needed services and supports. The core intent is practical: help individuals with TBI and their families understand their rights, navigate complex systems, and obtain assistance when those rights are at risk or have been violated.
Under this opportunity, funded Protection and Advocacy (P&A) organizations provide a range of rights-based supports. These include delivering information, referrals, and advice so that individuals and families can make informed decisions, as well as offering individual and family advocacy. The program also supports legal representation when appropriate, and it emphasizes “specific assistance in self-advocacy,†meaning grantees help people with TBI build the skills and confidence to advocate for themselves in healthcare, education, employment, housing, community services, and other settings where accommodations and fair treatment matter. In practice, this can involve helping someone request reasonable accommodations, challenge improper service denials, resolve disputes with service systems, or address discrimination and barriers to community inclusion.
The funding mechanism is a grant, categorized under the health funding activity area, and it is associated with CFDA number 93.267 (State Grants for Protection and Advocacy Services). HRSA anticipated making 57 awards, reflecting a nationwide scope that aligns with the structure of the P&A network across states and territories. The announcement indicates no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility is limited to designated Protection and Advocacy entities: State and Territorial Protection and Advocacy organizations, as well as Native American Protection and Advocacy organizations. These organizations typically serve as the federally recognized and authorized bodies within their jurisdictions to provide advocacy and legal services for individuals with disabilities, including targeted efforts for specific populations such as those with TBI.
