As this issue of The Lancet Neurology went to press, the traumatic brain injury (TBI) research community was eagerly anticipating an imminent call for proposals from the European Commission (EC). The new funding—expected to be included in the EC 7th Framework Programme (FP7) for cooperative health research—will be the first economic support from the EC for a unique research effort: the International Initiative for Traumatic Brain Injury Research (InTBIR). This initiative, which will also be supported by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the US National Institutes of Health, is an international multidisciplinary collaborative endeavour that aims to rapidly improve clinical practice in TBI.
