Project Victory works with military personnel and veterans of recent military service, who served in Operation Enduring Freedom or Operation Iraqi Freedom and who have screened positively for post concussive symptoms or been diagnosed with traumatic brain injury while in combat or stateside. Services within Project Victory are provided at no cost to the client and without regard to age, ethnicity or gender. Project Victory is a collaborative program by TIRR Foundation and TIRR Memorial Hermann. The funds from Project Victory were granted by the Iraq-Afghanistan Deployment Impact Fund, a part of the California Community Foundation, to help Americans who sustained brain injuries during their military service. The $3 million grant proposal was distributed to TIRR Foundation and TIRR Memorial Hermann for the creation of the Project Victory program. |
