Description: The Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center (DVBIC) is a multi-site medical care,
clinical research and education center funded by the Department of Defense (DoD). It conducts and advances research
that enhances the quality, appropriateness, timeliness, and cost-effectiveness of treatment delivered
to military and veteran beneficiaries with traumatic brain injuries (TBI) across the continuum of care.
