Partnership and Engagement Grants (PEGs) from the Center for Brain Injury Recovery & Discovery (CBIRD) at Ohio State University support faculty-led teams in developing and deepening transdisciplinary research collaborations with government, community, and industry partners. The program aims to foster sustainable partnerships addressing real-world challenges, with a strong emphasis on measurable benefits for target communities, research translation, and increasing the university’s visibility and reputation. Projects should align with CBIRD’s key research areas and Ohio State’s land-grant mission, focusing on research that can lead to practical impacts and long-term stakeholder engagement.
