Call for Proposals: NCSRR Pilot Project Program
by opensim-announcement＠simtk.org 17 May '11

17 May '11

The National Center for Simulation Research (NCSRR) at Stanford seeks proposals for our inaugural pilot project program. The program awards seed grants to innovative and meritorious projects that will accelerate the use of simulation in rehabilitation research. Our intent is to engage rehabilitation research experts to demonstrate the use of biomechanical simulations in novel areas and to help enhance the OpenSim software for rehabilitation science. Pilot project awardees may request funding (up to $25,000) for their research or access to additional NCSRR resources (e.g., software engineering support). In addition, the program launches awardees into leadership roles within the NCSRR network. Projects should have a strong scientific component and demonstrate a clear alignment with the NCSRR’s mission. Research proposals (up to 3 pages) should provide a scientific description of the project to be performed and convey the impact on rehabilitation and the biomechanical simulation community. Applications must also include a description of funding and other support requested. More information and the application packet can be found at the following website: http://opensim.stanford.edu/support/pilot.html <http://opensim.stanford.edu/support/pilot.html> All application materials must be received by midnight on July 15, 2011. Winners will be announced by September 2011 with funding to start in Fall 2011. Best Wishes, Jen Hicks -- --------------------------------- Jennifer L.
