DEFINA'S ADVANCED CARE PROTOCOL/MULTICARE PROTOCOL (ACP/MCP) THAT UTILIZES TARGETED NEUROMODULATION PROCEDURES TO NORMALIZE THE BRAIN'S ELECTROCHEMICAL ENVIRONMENT TO IMPROVE BRAIN FUNCTION. THIS YEAR, IBRF PLACED SDOC PROGRAMS IN A VARIETY OF HOSPITAL/NURSING/REHAB FACILITIES WITH IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROTOCOL. THESE SITES WERE BOTH INTHE UNITED STATES AND ABROAD. IBRF HAS FORGED NEW COLLABORATIONS WITH MEDICAL COMMUNITIES IN SAUDI ARABIA, MORROCO, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, AND CUBA. TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY:IBRF CONTINUES TO WORK COLLABORATIVELY IN RESEARCH WITH DR. MAX HILZ OF NYU AND DR. ALVARO PASCUAL-LEONE OF HARVARD UNIVERSITY FOR IMPROVED TREATMENTS FOR TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY. DIAGNOSTIC AND TREATMENT TOOLS SUCH AS ANS (AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM MONITORING) AND TMS (TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION) ARE BEING VALIDATED AS TWO OF THE MOST PROMINENT TOOLS TO TACKLE THE COMPLEXITIES OF TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY AND SUDDEN DEATH SYNDROME.DRS. PHILIP SCHATZ AND ROSEMARIE MOSER CONTINUE TO MAKE ADVANCES IN THE AREA OF MILD TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY AND SPORTS CONCUSSION. THEY CO-AUTHORED A LANDMARK ARTICLE THAT WAS PUBLISHED IN THE JOURNAL OF PEDIATRICS, THE FIRST EMPIRICAL STUDY TO DOCUMENT EFFICACY OF THE USE OF COGNITIVE AND PHYSICAL REST AS TREATMENT IN CONCUSSION. THIS WAS ALSO PRESENTED AS PART OF THE 4TH INTERNATIONAL CONSENSUS CONFERENCE ON CONCUSSION IN SPORT IN ZURICH, SWITZERLAND.DR. ROSEMARIE MOSER WAS APPOINTED TO THE EXPERT PANEL ON PEDIATRIC TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY OF THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION TO DEVELOP U.S. STANDARDS.IBRF FOCUSED ON DEVELOPING RESEARCH PROTOCOLS FOR MILD TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY AND POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER IN THE MILITARY. THIS WAS PROMPTED BY THE REQUEST OF THE U.S. ARMY. NEURODEGENERATIVE, DEVELOPMENTAL, AND RELATED DISORDERS:IBRF HAS BEGUN RESEARCH IN THE USE OF INFRARED LIGHT THERAPY COMBINED WITH NUTRACEUTICALS AND ELECTRICAL STIMULATION PROTOCOLS AND NEUROFEEDBACK FOR DEMENTIA. IBRF CONTINUES INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATIONS TO CONDUCT RESEARCH ON NEUROPHYSIOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC AND TREATMENT MODALITIES IN THIS AREA. 520960 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 6 0 1 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 6 6 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 NY X PHILIP DEFINA 7324947600 5130 LINTON BOULEVARD 113 4 DELRAY BEACH FL 33484 PHILIP DEFINA CEO/CSO 60.00 X X 153846 0 0 DR SUSAN ADLER BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 DR CHARLES PRESTIGIACOMO VICE CHAIR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 TAMMY FISHER BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 GREGORY SIORIS ESQ BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 RICHARD GASPRI BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 153846 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 PROGRAM SERVICE FEES 541700 612630 612630 612630 612630 612630 0 0 153846 100000 53846 79332 51566 27766 47360 30784 16576 69237 69237 26429 26429 15999 15999 29240 25076 4164 95000 76000 19000 5511 5511 EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES 106356 106356 BUSINESS MEALS 47061 47061 FUNDRAISING EXPENSES 15187 15187 MISCELLANEOUS 9100 9100 9234 5780 3454 708892 520960 172745 15187 10935 9673 645028 360028 380000 285000 390935 294673 30183 30183 30183 30183 X 360752 264490 360752 264490 390935 294673 -96262 0 X 0 0 0 X 60000 1040000 395725 1495725 60000 1040000 395725 1495725 1316065 179660 1495725 2746888 0.12010 0.12170 X 138939 138939 0 506089 221089 285000 285000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 PHILIP DEFINA CEO/CSO 153846 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 153846 0 0 0 FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B INTERNATIONAL BRAIN RESEARCH FOUNDATION, INC.
