Congress fails to renew critical funding for brain injury research

In Pennsylvania, Camp Cranium provides support for children who have survived traumatic brain injuries. However, the future of federal funding for brain injury research is in jeopardy as Congress did not renew the Traumatic Brain Injury Act in 2024. This act has been crucial for funding research and state programs for nearly 30 years. The House voted to renew the act, but the Senate has not yet acted, leaving many families concerned about the implications for ongoing support.
