In 1990 the Ohio General Assembly created the Ohio Brain Injury Program (BIP) and Ohio Brain Injury Advisory Committee (BIAC) to address the needs of Ohioans living with the effects of brain injury.

Goal 1: Have good data for statewide planning and evaluation
Goal 2: Have a workforce of healthcare and social service providers who understand brain injury and can adapt their treatment to better serve persons with a history of brain injury.
Goal 3: Advocate for use of best practices for accommodating the effects of brain injury encountered in specific service delivery and support systems.
Goal 4: Increase awareness of the issues faced by persons with brain injury and their families.
Goal 5: Create the infrastructure for strategic plan implementation
