Amends the Public Health Service Act to require the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to: (1) establish and oversee a national system to accurately determine the incidence of sports-related concussions among youth, and (2) begin implementation of such system within one year of this Act's enactment.

Requires the data collected to include:

  • the incidence of sports related concussions in individuals 5 through 21 years of age;
  • demographic information of the injured individuals;
  • pre-existing conditions of the injured individuals;
  • the concussion history of the injured individuals;
  • the use of protective equipment and impact monitoring devices;
  • the qualifications of personnel diagnosing the concussions; and
  • the cause, nature, and extent of the concussive injury.

Requires the National Institutes of Health to conduct or support:

  • research designed to inform the creation of guidelines for the management of short- and long-term sequelae of concussion in youth;
  • research on the effects of concussions and repetitive head impacts on quality of life and the activities of daily living;
  • research to identify predictors, and modifiers of outcomes, of concussions in youth; and
  • research on age- and sex-related biomechanical determinants of injury risk for concussion in youth.

Requires CDC to develop and disseminate to the public information regarding concussions.

Establishes a Concussion Research Commission, which shall study the programs and activities conducted pursuant to this Act and formulate systemic recommendations to increase knowledge about, and change the culture surrounding, concussions.
