LIMBIC-CENC desires to collaborate with researchers, consortia, industry, and other organizations that have similar goals of understanding the basic, translation, or clinical science of mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI) and its chronic effects in order to improve clinical care and outcomes for persons with mTBI and/or to improve the rigor of research within the mTBI field.

The consortium policy letter attached directs how to 1) choose and capture meaningful interactions with those entities seeking an interaction with LIMBIC-CENC personnel, 2) define the level of interactions, and 3) ensure the products which those interactions create are in alignment with the LIMBIC-CENC mission and the aims of the LIMBIC-CENC Cores and its research studies. Attached to the letter are appendices A-J which details definitions, levels of interactions, provides possible products which may result from external interactions, provides external-facing website instructions, and details data sharing efforts between LIMBIC-CENC personnel and external collaborators.

The point of contact for this policy letter is Sidney R. Hinds II, CO-PI and LIMBIC-CENC External Collaboration (LCEC) lead, cenc@vcu.edu.
