Breaking news: Our Southeastern Michigan Traumatic Brain Injury System (SEMTBIS) research project was renewed for the 2022-2027 cycle of the national collaborative Traumatic Brain Injury Model Systems (TBIMS). This $2.4 million grant is funded by the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR).
Dr. Robin Hanks, Professor and Chief of Psychology and Neuropsychology at the Rehabilitation Institute of Michigan is the Project Director for the SEMTBIS, overseeing collaboration with the national TBIMS sites, and Lisa Rapport will be the primary investigator on the site-specific study. Other key collaborators include Professor and biostatistician Scott Millis, as well as Peter Lichtenberg, Director of the Institute of Gerontology, who will serve as the consultant on the grant. Historically, many NeurAL students have used the support and resources of the SEMTBIS (e.g., access to the large, rigorously-vetted participant pool with moderate to severe TBI) to complete their research projects.
