About Federal Interagency Traumatic Brain Injury Research Informatics System

The Federal Interagency Traumatic Brain Injury Research Informatics System (FITBIR) is a web-based data repository focused on traumatic brain injury (TBI) research, developed as a partnership between the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Department of Defense (DoD). It hosts standardized TBI research datasets and associated resources to support the broader TBI research community.

Users can access shared TBI study data including demographics, outcome assessments, imaging and biomarker records, request data access as a qualified investigator, use pre-built user-ready forms aligned with FITBIR’s interagency Common Data Elements for TBI research, view summary data visualizations via the Advance Data Dashboard, and engage with other users through the public FITBIR Forum (login required to post content). The platform also provides support from a fully staffed operations team to help users get started, though new data submissions are only accepted for studies that have received programmatic approval.
