The following are the current projects & partnerships at the CEHSABI:
1. Partnerships with the Department of Health in Hawaii and their partners. This collaboration is funded through Hawai`i's TBI Implementation Project, funded by the U.S. Health Resources Services Administration. Activities of the partnership include developing the state's capacity to serve individuals with brain injuries through professional development. Eight students in Hawai`i are provided scholarships to take part in the GW distance learning Graduate Certificate Program. The CEHSABI is also assisting Hawaii in assessing its needs for further development of state capacity, and students in the GW Certificate program will contribute to the state efforts by being a part of the Brain Injury Association of Hawaii's Speaker's Bureau and doing other volunteer work with the BIAH when they complete the program.

Hawai`i TBI project web site.
2. The partnership is a part of the D.C. TBI Post Demonstration Grant project,
funded the U.S. Health Resources Services Administration. Through this partnership, the CEHSABI will provide training about TBI for the District of Columbia Schools (DCPS) personnel, conduct a small study of transition services in the DCPS, and assist the DOH in developing a resource directory of TBI resources in DC as well as helping the Brain Injury Association of DC to become a chartered affiliate of the BIA of America..
3. A partnership with Radford University in Virginia will focus on collaboration to incorporate the Graduate Certificate Program into an Education Specialist (EdS) Degree option for RU students and graduates. In addition the RU partnership will assist the state of Virginia by providing graduate level coursework in TBI to interested professionals and graduate students who will be expected to work in that state and build resources for TBI in their communities.
