Opportunity Summary:
The Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) State Implementation Partnership Grant Program (HRSA-14-019) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) aimed at improving access to rehabilitation and other supportive services for people living with traumatic brain injury. The program is designed to help states, territories, and tribal entities strengthen practical, on-the-ground systems of care so that children, youth, and adults with TBI, as well as people considered at high risk for TBI, can more easily find, receive, and benefit from appropriate services. The underlying focus is not only clinical rehabilitation, but also the broader set of supports people often need to function at school, at work, and in daily life.
A central point of the opportunity is that TBI can look very different from person to person. Symptoms and severity vary widely, and needs may span multiple service areas over time. Because of that, the funding emphasizes building access across a wide range of supports, including cognitive, physical, and occupational rehabilitation; speech and language therapy; educational supports and accommodations; employment services and accommodations such as vocational counseling, skills assessments, retraining, and on-site coaching; and independent living supports such as skills training and learning to use different transportation options. In other words, the grant is meant to help applicants create or improve pathways that connect individuals with TBI to the mix of services that matches their real-world needs, rather than treating TBI support as a single program or single type of therapy.
HRSA structured this funding around four persistent barriers that repeatedly showed up across earlier statewide TBI needs and resource assessments. The first barrier is a lack of clear information about available services and supports, paired with minimal help actually accessing them. Many individuals and families struggle to figure out what exists, what they qualify for, and how to get connected, so applicants are expected to address information and referral services in a concrete way. The second barrier is limited training among professionals who regularly encounter people with TBI but may not have the knowledge to recognize TBI-related issues or respond appropriately. The FOA specifically notes a wide range of audiences for training, including physicians and nurses, school staff, coaches and athletic trainers, social workers and psychologists, child care providers, staff in domestic violence, homeless, and emergency shelters, law enforcement, and assisted living facility personnel. The third barrier is that TBI frequently goes undiagnosed or is misdiagnosed, which can prevent people from receiving the right care or accommodations; therefore, the FOA highlights screening as a required element. The fourth barrier is that essential TBI services are often scattered across multiple agencies and systems, making them hard to identify and navigate; this drives the expectation that applicants will build resource facilitation capacity so families can move through complex systems more effectively.
Because of those findings, responsive applications must include a plan that directly covers all four required components: (1) information and referral services, (2) professional training, (3) TBI screening, and (4) resource facilitation. The overall intent is to reduce fragmentation and make the service landscape easier to understand and use, while also improving the ability of frontline professionals to identify TBI and connect individuals to appropriate supports. The partnership framing signals that applicants should be coordinating across agencies and community systems rather than operating in isolation.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity is listed under CFDA 93.234 (Traumatic Brain Injury State Demonstration Grant Program). HRSA anticipated 21 awards with an estimated total funding amount of $5,250,000, and the FOA indicates there is a cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted January 9, 2014, with an original and current closing date of March 7, 2014, and it was archived May 6, 2014. The listing shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which typically indicates that applicants need to consult the full FOA for specific budget guidance and award sizing details rather than relying on the summary fields alone.
Eligibility is broad and includes state governments, local governments (such as city/township and county governments), independent school districts, special district governments, federally recognized tribal governments, and other Native American tribal organizations. The FOA also notes, consistent with 42 CFR Part 51a.3(a), that any public or private entity, including Indian tribes or tribal organizations (as defined at 25 U.S.C. 450b), as well as faith-based and community-based organizations, may be eligible if they can document prior experience relevant to the program and meet the review criteria described in the full guidance. In practice, that means applicants are expected to demonstrate that they have the capability and track record to carry out systems-oriented work that improves identification of TBI, strengthens professional practice, and helps people successfully navigate services.
For applicants or stakeholders seeking the official materials or support, HRSA provided assistance through the HRSA Grants Application Center and HRSA Call Center (877-464-4772) and the email address CallCenter@HRSA.GOV, with a mailing address in Gaithersburg, Maryland for those who had trouble accessing the announcement electronically.

Who is the program intended to help?
The program is intended to help children, youth, and adults living with TBI, as well as individuals considered at high risk for TBI. It also addresses the needs of families and caregivers by improving access points, referrals, and navigation supports across systems.
Does the program focus only on clinical rehabilitation?
No. While clinical rehabilitation is part of the scope, the program also prioritizes the broader supports people often need to function at school, at work, and in daily life.
Why does the FOA emphasize systems of care and partnerships?
