Description

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is aimed at discovering, determining the selectivity and sensitivity, and externally validating biological measures to be used for assessing, prognosing and monitoring recovery of youth who either clinically present with or are at risk for developing prolonged/persistent concussive symptoms following exposure to repetitive head impacts and/or concussion. Resultant biological measures should be incorporated into risk stratification algorithms to inform clinical care and patient stratification for future clinical trials. A critical feature of this FOA includes the broad sharing of clinical, neuroimaging, physiological, and biospecimen data to further advance research in the area of persistent concussive symptoms in children ages 9 - 14.
