Transforming TBI outcomes through excellence in prevention and post-injury research.

Traumatic Brain Injury

Our researchers are transforming TBI outcomes for Nova Scotians through excellence in prevention and post-injury research.

In 2017, we received funding from the Department of Labour and Advanced Education to develop a business model to include the provision of continuing and individualized care to brain injured patients while combining with research/investigation and delivery of support through a collaborative care model. This model, called the Traumatic Brain Injury Research Partnership (TBIRP), is based on the development of a patient-centric, inter-disciplinary and collaborative research effort that aims to improve prevention policies for all Nova Scotians and clinical outcomes for TBI survivors. This project was enabled by a steering committee, led by Dr. Alon Friedman, Department of Medical Neuroscience.

The full business plan is available here.
