Persons with traumatic brain injury (TBI) have higher rates of hospital stays, higher rates of injuries, and tend to die younger compared to those who do not have traumatic brain injury.  After injury, persons with TBI can have difficulty with thinking abilities, physical abilities, and alterations in their behavior that can contribue to differences in their healthcare experience. This symposium describes a CDMRP Focused Program Award that will develop four healthcare innovations ( EMR Nudge, Toolkit, Implementation Roadmap, and policy engagement strategy) to improve access to and engagement in high-quality healthcare experiences for persons with TBI.  All projects fall in the Pre-Implementation Phase of the VA QUERI Roadmap that  engage stakeholders, understand needs, and knowledge product development to  facilitate the next stage towards implementation. Projects are supported by Cores including the Community Engagement Council, Operations, Implemenation Science, and Data and Communications with goals to facilitate implementation research in TBI.

Learning Objectives:

• Illustrate an approach to extramural funding of implementation science in TBI.
• Identify the four projects’ use of implementation science.
• Describe innovations that address healthcare access and engagement for people with TBI.
• Illustrate an approach to extramural funding of implementation science in TBI.
