Required next actionCurrent-cycle applicants must have submitted the mandatory July 13, 2026 preproposal and received an invitation to submit a full application.

Broad Eligibility
Domestic and foreign for-profit and nonprofit organizations and public/private entities are eligible, subject to the program announcement. An independent investigator affiliated with an eligible organization may serve as PI. Active federal and eBRAP registrations are required. Current-cycle progression also requires a timely mandatory preproposal and invitation.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score 93/100. Preferred posture: Partner-Led / Already-Preapplied Qualified TBI/Psychological Health Clinical Trial Team. Structural eligibility for a for-profit organization does not establish submission readiness. A credible pursuit requires an invited team with preliminary data, clinical-trial infrastructure, community-based participatory research capability, study-population access, regulatory readiness, and an appropriate Research Level 1 or 2 protocol.
Federal opportunity identifier: HT942526TBIPHRPCTA
The Traumatic Brain Injury and Psychological Health Research Program Clinical Trial Award supports clinical trials addressing traumatic brain injury and psychological health. Preliminary data are required, and community-based participatory research is required. Research Level 1 supports pilot, Phase 1, or Phase 2 trials, while Research Level 2 supports larger advanced effectiveness trials. An Early-Career Investigator Partnering Option is available.
Funding: Approximately $18.6 million across about six awards. Research Level 1 is capped at $2.1 million in total costs per award; Research Level 2 is capped at $4.1 million in total costs per award. Maximum period of performance is four years. Cost sharing is not required.
Current-cycle deadlines: The mandatory preproposal deadline was July 13, 2026 at 5:00 PM Eastern Time. Invitations were scheduled for August 27, 2026. Invited full applications are due October 15, 2026 at 11:59 PM Eastern Time.
Because the mandatory first-stage deadline has passed, current-cycle support is restricted to teams that submitted a timely preproposal and received an invitation. New FY26 applicant outreach should not be initiated for this mechanism.
