The TBI Endpoints (TED) Initiative held its first Consensus Conference on February 2-3, 2015 at the NIH campus in Bethesda, MD. The TED Initiative, a five-year program funded by the U.S. Department of Defense, will curate and harmonize data from a variety of legacy and ongoing military, civilian, and sport TBI cohorts into a Metadataset that can be interrogated for associations between clinical, proteomic, genomic, and imaging findings that smaller individual studies were not powered or designed to find.
