The Traumatic Brain Injury Model Systems National Data and Statistical Center (TBINDSC)
located at Craig Hospital in Englewood, Colorado, is a central resource for researchers
and data collectors within the Traumatic Brain Injury Model Systems (TBIMS) program.
The primary purpose of the TBINDSC is to advance medical rehabilitation by increasing
the rigor and efficiency of scientific efforts to longitudinally assess the experience
of individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI). The TBINDSC provides technical
assistance, training, and methodological consultation to 16 TBIMS centers as they
collect and analyze longitudinal data from people with TBI in their communities,
and as they conduct research toward evidence-based TBI rehabilitation interventions.
Below are links to the TBIMS Presentation and TBIMS Update, which has information
about the individual model systems and descriptions of the injury and followup data
that are being collected.
