Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score 91/100. Preferred posture: Partner-Led / Already-Preapplied Translational TBI/Psychological Health Research Team. A credible pursuit requires an invited team with relevant preliminary data and a mature translational program. Basic research and clinical trials are nonresponsive. Research Level 1 supports refinement of mature concepts into tangible knowledge products, while Research Level 2 supports rigorous evaluation of tangible products in preparation for first-in-human or clinical-trial work.
Federal opportunity identifier: HT942526TBIPHRPTRA
The Traumatic Brain Injury and Psychological Health Research Program Translational Research Award supports innovative translational research designed to move mature scientific findings toward impactful clinical applications. Preliminary data are required. Basic research and clinical trials are prohibited. For studies involving prospective human participation, community-based participatory research is required.
Funding: Approximately $9 million across about six awards. Research Level 1 is capped at $1 million in total costs per award; Research Level 2 is capped at $2 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.
