Traumatic brain injury: integrated approaches to improve prevention, clinical care, and research

We acknowledge the support provided by the funding agencies joined in the InTBIR initiative: the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, the European Commission, the US National Institutes of Health-National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, One Mind, and the US Department of Defense. Additional support for Canadian studies within InTBIR was provided by Fonds de recherche du Quebec Sante, the Hotchkiss Brain Institute, the Ontario Brain Institute, and the Ontario Neurotrauma Foundation. The Collaborative European NeuroTrauma Effectiveness Research in Traumatic Brain Injury (CENTER-TBI) project received additional support from the Hannelore Kohl Stiftung, Germany. Synergistic funding for the Transforming Research and Clinical Knowledge in Traumatic Brain Injury (TRACK-TBI) study was obtained through a successful application for a TBI Endpoints Development award from the US Department of Defense. In addition, DKM was supported through a Senior Investigator Award and funding for the Cambridge Biomedical Research Centre from the UK National Institute for Health Research.
