OUR MISSION
The mission of the Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center (DVBIC) is to serve active duty military, their dependents and veterans with traumatic brain injury (TBI) through state-of-the-art medical care, innovative clinical research initiatives and educational programs.

WHO WE ARE

Originally established in 1992 as the "Defense and Veterans Head Injury Program," DVBIC is:

  • A multi-site medical care, clinical research and education center
  • A unique collaboration of the Department of Defense (DoD), Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) health care system, and civilian partners
  • Funded through the Department of Defense
In 2007, DVBIC became the TBI operational component of the newly established Defense Centers of Excellence for Psychological Health and Traumatic Brain Injury.

WHAT WE DO
  • Develop and provide advanced TBI-specific evaluation, treatment and follow-up care for all military personnel, their dependents and veterans with brain injury
  • Conduct clinical research that defines optimal care and treatment for individuals with TBI
  • Develop and deliver effective educational materials for the prevention, treatment of TBI and management of its long-term effects

DVBIC is specifically committed to the effort to prevent, treat, and provide education on TBI for US military members currently on active duty, National Guard and reservists recently injured in the line of duty, their dependents, and retired military personnel.
