Description
Partnership and Engagement Grants (PEGs), administered by Ohio State’s Center for Brain Injury Recovery & Discovery (CBIRD), support faculty teams conducting transdisciplinary research with local, regional, and national government, community, and industry partners. In alignment with Ohio State’s land-grant mission, projects should develop and deepen community stakeholder relationships to strengthen research recruitment, translation, implementation, and impact.
The program supports new projects providing measurable research or educational benefits to target communities within CBIRD’s key research areas. These span discovery, assessment, recovery, and implementation in clinical, socioeconomic, and legal environments, including neural repair, therapeutic approaches, assistive technologies, diagnosis, and treatment monitoring. Successful applications should demonstrate a strong probability of benefiting community members, securing sustainable funding, and increasing Ohio State’s visibility and national reputation.
