In October 2020, Dr. Stavrinos was awarded her second R01 grant from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development to conduct a 5-year longitudinal study to evaluate the impact of mild traumatic brain injury on teen driving, which will help develop guidelines on when teens can safely return to driving and under what conditions. This collaborative grant will help Stavrinos and the principal investigator at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, Ginger Yang, Ph.D., M.D., yield insight into critical questions to improve the lives of teens after injury.
