This special commentary by Whyte and colleagues serves as an introduction to the efforts
of a large group of brain injury investigators to reach consensus on what they believe
are the common data elements essential for research in traumatic brain injury and

Neurologic Disorders and Stroke, the Defense Centers of Excellence for Psychological
Health and Traumatic Brain Injury, the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation
