Description
Please note: No applications will be accepted for this competition without registration.
The purpose of this funding opportunity is to improve our understanding of the potential for non-pharmacological interventions to improve brain recovery after injury. Establishing scientific evidence for the effectiveness of combining two or more non-pharmacological interventions as a treatment that can be administered by the injured individual themselves is expected to have an enormous impact for patients who can be empowered by this knowledge.
By adopting a holistic brain health perspective, the focus of the research projects must investigate the interaction of two or more non-pharmacological intervention modalities for TBI recovery in patients with mild TBI (concussion) and/or moderate-to-severe TBI. Non-pharmacological intervention modalities of interest include, but not limited to, physical activity, cognitive activity, mindfulness meditation, brain healthy nutrition, limiting harmful exposure, restorative sleep, system navigation, nutraceutical, personalized therapies, and new technologies. For more information on these non-pharmacological intervention modalities, please visit these resources from Branch Out Foundation and Brain Changes Initiative.
Evidence clearly shows that increasing equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in research environments enhances excellence, innovation and creativity. The funding partners are committed to excellence through equity and encourages applicants of diverse backgrounds to apply to our funding opportunities, which will promote the expression of diverse perspectives, approaches, and experiences, including those of underrepresented groups.
