BREAKING
On Monday, Popular Information broke the news that the NIH had frozen virtually all grant funding in violation of 2 federal court orders
On Wednesday, NIH leadership distributed a memo, acknowledging that its funding freeze was illegal and directing staff to resume issuing grants.
Excited to see this work finally out! My lab listened to life stories of 40 individuals to validate posttraumatic growth following moderate-severe traumatic brain injury. An amazing foundation for continued research into thriving after #TBI

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Audience members sit in a hotel conference room facing Dr. Agtarap, who stands at a podium at the front. Next to her is a presentation screen presenting the title of her talk: "Associations between posttraumatic growth and depreciation, environmental limitations, and psychosocial outcomes following moderate-severe TBI: Findings from a mixed-methods pilot study".

The implications slide from Dr. Agtarap's talk ,A close-up of Dr. Agtarap, presenting findings from her talk, "Associations between posttraumatic growth and depreciation, environmental limitations, and psychosocial outcomes following moderate-severe TBI: Findings from a mixed-methods pilot study". In it, Dr. Agtarap discusses the relationship between environmental barriers, at what systems-level they occur (based on Brofenbrenner's Ecological Systems model), and the associated psychosocial outcomes, including posttraumatic growth.
Got to finally share mixed-methods findings of a favorite study of mine: exploring environmental barriers to posttraumatic growth (i.e. positive change after traumatic events) following traumatic brain injury. So excited to continue this work with DoD TBI PHRP funding later this year.

Working on this month’s Psychology Today post. I’m excerpting #BRAININJURY, TRAUMA, AND GRIEF because I’ll be attending a writer’s conference next week and am so damn tired already. Excerpts take less energy than writing completely new material. Plus I can get it done in 1 day.🤞🙂 #WritingCommunity

This is a picture with example resources on the right hand side and the text "Get Free Resources for Raising Awareness of Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)" on the left hand side.
Looking for #BrainInjury resources during March #BrainInjuryAwarenessMonth? Traumatic Brain Injury Model Systems resources are free, based on research, and developed for those who need them the most.

Lawmakers on the Senate Armed Services Committee’s personnel subpanel as well as experts on brain injury said the Pentagon has been too passive in addressing and preventing damage caused by shock waves that emanate from exploding weapons, known as overpressure.
