Description
The Traumatic Brain Injury and Psychological Health Research Program (TBIPHRP) released program announcements for the following funding opportunities:
- Clinical Trial Award – Pre-Application Due: July 13, 2026
The TBIPHRP Clinical Trial Award mechanism supports the rapid execution of clinical trials with
the potential to have a significant impact on the treatment or management of psychological
health conditions and/or traumatic brain injuries. - Health Services Research Award – Pre-Application Due: September 24, 2026
Maturing research ideas into clinical practice and patient benefit is at the heart of all CDMRP
research programs. Despite significant investment, the gap between what is possible and what
is achieved remains. Even after information, tools and interventions have been successfully
evaluated in their intended populations, the development of knowledge to support their broader
dissemination and implementation has often remained outside the scope. The FY26 TBIPHRP
HSRA intends to fund high-impact research that bridges the gap between research, practice
and policy by building real-world evidence on how interventions, clinical practices/guidelines or
policies can be deployed to targeted populations at the appropriate time. - Translational Research Award – Pre-Application Due: July 13, 2026
The TRA supports research that accelerates the conversion of scientific findings into impactful
clinical applications. The TRA prioritizes innovative approaches over purely iterative or
incremental research. Research outcomes must clearly lead to the development of
transformative health care products, technologies, or clinical practice guidelines.
Applications that focus on minor modifications to existing standards without the intent or
potential to significantly improve clinical care or patient outcomes may not be competitive.
