GAP-based milieu biomarkers for traumatic brain injury (gambit-TBI)

The Defense Health Agency awarded a $7,999,917 project grant under the Military Medical Research and Development (CFDA 12.420) program to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York on behalf of Suny Downstate Health Sciences University. The four-year award beginning September 30, 2022 supports the "GAP-BASED MILIEU BIOMARKERS FOR TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY (GAMBIT-TBI)" program.

Under the award, Suny Downstate and six sub-awardees - The Morehouse School Of Medicine, Inc., The University Of Pittsburgh, Baylor College Of Medicine, The University Of Florida, The University Of Texas Health Science Center At Houston, and Wayne State University - will collaborate to investigate medical solutions for traumatic brain injury through innovative biomarker research. Key activities include enrolling subjects at multiple sites, collecting biosamples, performing inflammatory and genetic assays, managing biorepositories and data integration through the Federal Interagency Traumatic Brain Injury Research database. Results will help transform care for service members and the public affected by traumatic brain injury.
