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 is a link to the TBIMS Presentation, which has information about the individual
model systems and descriptions of the injury and followup data that are being collected.
