## What the grant funds

The FY21 TBIPHRP TRA is intended to support translational research that will accelerate the movement of promising ideas in TBI and/or psychological health research into clinical applications, including healthcare products, technologies, and/or clinical practice guidelines. This mechanism supports both preclinical to clinical translational research (e.g., studies of pharmaceuticals and medical devices in preclinical systems) as well as clinical research to clinical care translation (e.g., comparative effectiveness, implementation science, healthcare services research). Observations that support a research idea may be derived from a laboratory discovery, population-based studies, or a clinician’s first-hand knowledge of patients and anecdotal data. However, applicants should not view translational research as a one-way continuum from bench to bedside. The research plan is encouraged to involve a reciprocal flow of ideas and information between basic and clinical science or clinical and implementation science as appropriate. Applications proposing clinical trials for NEW interventions or NEW indications for products currently FDA-approved are not permitted under this funding mechanism and should consider submitting to the following FY21 TBIPHRP funding opportunities:  Clinical Trial Award (Funding Opportunity Number: W81XWH-21-S-TBIPH1)  Focused Program Award (Funding Opportunity Number: W81XWH-21-S-TBIPH2) Applications must include preliminary and/or published data to support the proposed research project. Applications should clearly articulate three points along the translational research spectrum:  Where the field is now;  Where the field will be after the successful completion of the proposed research project; and  What the next step will be after completion of the proposed project. Relevance to Military Health: Relevance to the healthcare needs of Service Members, Veterans, military beneficiaries, and the American public is a key feature of this award.
