Meet This Year’s Winner

Dr. Steven Broglio

Dr. Steven Broglio has spent more than 20 years improving how we understand and treat concussions. His work, supported by over $100 million in research funding and more than 300 published studies, has helped doctors, schools, and policymakers better understand how concussions are identified, how people recover, and what long-term effects may look like for athletes, students, and service members.

Dr. Broglio is known for building strong partnerships and creating lasting change. He founded the University of Michigan Concussion Center, where he serves as the Director, bringing together clinicians, researchers, educators, and community partners to support concussion recovery. Through his leadership with organizations like the National Athletic Trainers’ Association and his work with policymakers and state leaders, Dr. Broglio has helped partners implement concussion management protocols nationwide.

He has been a key leader in the NCAA–DoD CARE Consortium, a major research effort studying concussions in college athletes and military cadets. This work has shown how important it is for people to report symptoms early and to get the right level of care, including rehabilitation when needed.

Alongside this, Dr. Broglio has helped update major professional guidelines, making sure care for concussions continues to improve based on the latest evidence. He has played a major role in the International Consensus Conference on Concussion in Sport and now serves as President of the Concussion in Sport Group, helping set global standards for how concussions are diagnosed, treated, and managed.

Recently, Dr. Broglio has worked with NASHIA and the UM Injury Prevention Center to develop the Concussion Navigator, a tool that is aimed at supporting families navigate concussion recovery. This work reflects his focus on helping people successfully return to school, work, and daily life after a brain injury.

Dr. Steven Broglio’s selection as the 2026 Robert L. Moody Prize recipient reflects both his major contributions to the field and his long-standing commitment to improving the lives of people affected by brain injury.
