New TBI Treatments for Veterans: $30 Million for Innovative Neurorehabilitation Research.

This Act establishes a three-year, $30 million grant program to fund research and implementation of innovative, non-pharmacological neurorehabilitation treatments for veterans suffering from chronic mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI). The goal is to improve veterans' mental health outcomes, reduce suicide risk factors, and mitigate the long-term effects of these injuries through patient-centered care. The program is designed to align with existing suicide prevention efforts and expand treatment options beyond traditional VA pathways.
Key points
Veterans with chronic mild TBI will gain access to new, innovative neurorehabilitation therapies, including non-drug treatments, focused on patient-centered care.
The program authorizes $30 million over three years (2026-2028) to fund studies testing the effectiveness of these new approaches in improving mental health and reducing suicide risk.
Funding supports partnerships between non-profits, academic institutions, and VA facilities to quickly implement and evaluate the best new treatment practices.
