If the Trump administration's 2026 financial budget request is approved by the Congress, the department will eliminate the Department of Disease Control Centers responsible for traumatic brain damage, including the federal financing of $ 8.25 million.
On April 1, five employees responsible for managing the Primary TBI program of the US government were taken to paid administrative leaves by CDC.
American Board of Directors Brain Damage Association Board Member Dr. Owen Perlman said that budget cuts will “take back the progress for decimal years” in the TBI research and education.
“There is no extreme point for many people with shaking or absolutely moderate or severe brain injury.” Perlman said. He said. “This is a lifetime problem and it needs to have a lifetime financing.”
If the budget proposal is approved, the presidents who manage the shaking prevention programs for youth and high school coaches in 45 states will disintegrate. Permissible CDC employees, the website more than 10 million people participated in online training programs, the program directed the program.
“We are really worried about hundreds of thousands of coaches who have to receive this training,” a CDC official told ESPN. He said. “This is really settled and lost the entire team (behind the program).”
As part of the budget of the Trump administration, National Health Institutes, which focus on medical issues such as stroke and migraine, will continue the Institute of Brain Studies. It is not known whether any TBI program will be included.
