Funding History:
The CESHABI received a five-year federal grant of $1.5 million to launch our Master’s Degree and EdS program through GSEHD’s Department of Teacher Preparation and Special Education. Most of this funding supports student scholarships and activities. New grants for special projects and new academic programs are also planned through collaboration of the CEHSABI and the DTPSE or other Departments.

We also received start-up funding from the Jason Foundation in Radford, Virginia followed by our charter from The George Washington University in 2000.

Three years later, we have a clear vision and strategic plan to develop and implement initiatives that will play a critical role in helping people with brain injuries, of any age, have more productive and fulfilling lives.

Funding Priorities:
As we look toward the future, additional funding is needed to build the Center’s foundation, to respond to a variety of needs through the year, and to have the freedom to launch compelling initiatives as opportunities arise. To help the Center thrive even more in the future, we seek funding for:

• Research
• Publications
• Summer Institute for families and professionals
• Special Projects
• Student scholarships
• Endowment Fund
• Operating expenses
