The mission of the SNL, directed by Dr. Joseph T.

the Spaulding-Harvard Traumatic Brain Injury Model System (SH-TBIMS), the largest and longest-running longitudinal study of TBI in the world with over 20,000 persons enrolled over the last 30 years;
and Resiliency after Acquired Brain Injury: Defining and Enhancing Biopsychosocial Function, which aims to characterize the psychological and neurobiological features of resilience that affect recovery in persons who have experienced moderate to severe acquired brain injury.
The Sr. CRC will assist with the day-to-day study operations, including management and oversight of recruitment and data collection activities, preparation and management of IRB actions, data quality assurance, preparation of agendas for team meetings, management of regulatory documents, communication and reporting to PI, study team & funding source.
