When you register with the TROOPS referral program, you will be connected with multiple research teams, several of which are recruiting for studies of treatments for concussion (mTBI).

Civilians, as well as service members and veterans, are welcome to sign up, and there is no upper age limit.

TBI Research Opportunities and Outreach for Participation in Studies (TROOPS) is a website-based referral program from the Military Traumatic Brain Injury Initiative (MTBI2).
