TBI State Partnership Program

The TBI State Partnership Program aims to support designated state lead agencies in strengthening statewide services and support systems for people with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). The program seeks to enhance cross-agency collaboration, identify and reduce barriers to TBI support, and provide a clear picture of statewide demographics, resources, and program impact. Eligible applicants include state governments, territorial governments, and federally recognized Indian Tribal governments. The program requires a cost-sharing commitment of 33.3% of the total project cost. The expected total program funding is $6,376,351, with an expected award range of $190,000 to $205,000 per applicant per budget period. Key aspects of the program include: • Establishing a state TBI advisory board with at least 50% representation of people with TBI • Developing a comprehensive state plan to guide TBI efforts • Providing resource facilitation to connect people with TBI to community-based resources and supports • Participating in national or state work groups to share best practices and address common challenges • Collecting data to demonstrate the impact of grant activities and submitting performance reports
