(b)through grants, contracts, or other mechanisms, to study and evaluate hospital- and community-based interventions for victims of violent or penetrating injuries to prevent, mitigate, and furnish treatments to address the trauma and mental health impacts of those injuries on such victims and prevent re-injury. An entity seeking funding under this section shall— be a university or hospital; and submit an application to the Director of NIH at such time, in such manner, and containing such information as the Director may require, including the information described in paragraph (2). An application submitted under paragraph (1)(B) shall include information demonstrating that the applicant has multidisciplinary expertise in— furnishing hospital- or community-based interventions to improve outcomes for patients suffering a violent or penetrating injury; quality improvement research; linking clinical research with practice and community outcomes and activities; and providing, linking to, or otherwise facilitating community-based care, case management, and treatment. The Director of NIH shall, subject to available funding, select not less than 15 entities meeting the requirements of this subsection to receive funding under this section (provided that fifteen or more entities meeting such requirements apply for such funding). An entity that receives funding under this section shall use the funds to provide support for a trauma-informed and violence re-injury prevention research center, including funding for— clinical, behavioral, or translational research to test and evaluate trauma-informed interventions for trauma recovery in an effort to prevent and reduce violence-related re-injury, readmission, and mortality; the provision of screening, delivery of post-injury mental health counseling, trauma-informed care, education, discharge planning, skills building, and long-term case management; and training researchers, clinicians, case workers, mental health professionals, community health workers, and other appropriate providers to provide appropriate interventions described in paragraph (2). Any activity supported under this section shall be furnished with the aim of preventing and mitigating the impact of trauma and mental health consequences associated with a violent or penetrative injury, improve the overall health and well-being of individuals with a violent or penetrative injury, and prevent re-injury, readmission, and mortality. The Director of NIH shall, as appropriate— provide for the coordination of activities (including the exchange of information and regular communication) among the entities receiving funding under this section; and require each entity receiving funding under this section to prepare and submit to the Director periodic reports on the activities of the entity that are supported by this section. .
