Use of Funds

Allowed Uses

Project grants to States are to improve access to health and other Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)-related services for people of all ages across the United States. Any State seeking TBI grant funds is required to agree to establish or have an advisory board within the appropriate health department of the State or within another department as designated by the Chief Executive Officer of the State. The Board's composition as specified must include representatives of the involved State agencies; public and nonprofit private health related organizations; disability advisory or planning groups; members of an organization or foundation representing individuals with TBI; State and local injury control programs if they exist, and a substantial number of individuals with TBI and their family members. People with TBI should comprise 50% of the Advisory Board. These grants are to be used in building a statewide system to assure access to comprehensive and coordinated TBI services. Grants can address a wide range of activities and should reflect gaps or needed system change identified through the TBI state plan. Funds under this announcement may not be used for the following purposes: construction projects or for pre-award costs (reimbursement is not given for costs incurred prior to receiving the award) or to support primary injury prevention initiatives, research initiatives, or the provision of direct services. For any available grant funds in excess of $10,000,000, distribution of grants will be at the discretion of the Administration for Community Living (ACL), and will be made according to the criteria communicated to the States via a grant solicitation.
