You’re invited! Please plan to join us for the third Federal Interagency Conference on Traumatic Brain Injury in June, 2011. We will seek to surpass the outstanding success of the first two, held in 1999 and 2006. The Interagency Conference on TBI, sponsored by a consortium of federal agencies and advocacy groups, brings together clinicians, researchers, consumers, and policy makers to share cutting-edge advances in TBI research and clinical care.
What’s new for 2011? For the first time, the Federal Interagency Conference brings together civilian and military agencies, including the Department of Defense and the Veterans Administration in addition to the National Institute of Disability and Rehabilitation Research, the National Institutes of Health, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and other leading federal players in research and clinical care for TBI.

The Third Federal Interagency Conference will feature outstanding speakers and symposia on a wide variety of topics within several broad themes:
· Effective Practices for Community Integration
· Seminal Advances in TBI Research
· The Promise of Technology
