(1) the Secretary to establish and operate up to five centers for TBI research, education, and clinical activities;
(2) the establishment of a peer review panel to assess the scientific and clinical merit of proposals submitted for the designation of such centers;
(3) the VA Under Secretary of Health to ensure that information produced at such centers is disseminated throughout the Veterans Health Administration (VHA); and
(4) annual reports from the Secretary to the veterans' committees on the status and activities of the centers. Authorizes appropriations.

(1) the establishment of two mobile Vet Centers in each of five specified Veterans Integrated Service Network areas; and
(2) a pilot program report from the Secretary to the veterans' committees.
