NIHR has opened a call to establish the UK traumatic brain injury (TBI) platform, comprising of 2 parts:
This call is co-funded with the Medical Research Council, the Department of Health and Social Care, the Ministry of Defence and Alzheimer's Research UK. This funding opportunity is to support the establishment of a TBI platform over 5 years that will aim to advance patient care using multidimensional approaches to characterise, predict and stratify traumatic brain injuries.
The aim of the platform is to strengthen data-linkage across cohorts and longitudinal populations and enable biomarker discovery and validation across the life-course and in under-represented populations (for example, children, prisoners, homeless people, victims of intimate partner violence and military personnel). Linkages to other areas, including but not limited to, neurodegenerative diseases will be essential (see additional information for specific priorities in this area).
The TBI platform should comprise of a data hub and a biomarker resource that should be strongly integrated with UK-wide reach. It is anticipated that the platform will continue to grow in scale and ambition beyond the 5 years, evolving into a sustainable coordinated and integrated resource for TBI research across the UK.
Deadline for proposals: 1 March 2023
