We are excited to announce a new OpenSim software release, as well as remind you of several upcoming training events and our pilot project program: *Download OpenSim 3.1* OpenSim 3.1 includes expanded scripting capabilities, enhancements to the graphical user interface, many new modeling components, new examples, and important bug fixes. Read more about the new features<http://simtk-confluence.stanford.edu:8080/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=5114…>we've added for OpenSim 3.1 and download the software <https://simtk.org/project/xml/downloads.xml?group_id=91>. *Participate in the OpenSim Tutorial at ISB in Brazil* We invite all ISB participants to take part in the OpenSim Tutorial on Sunday August 4 at 4:15pm. The tutorial will feature an update on the latest OpenSim software and research, demos, and a hands-on exercise. To participate: 1) Sign up for the tutorial on the ISB website<http://www.isbbrazil.com/conteudo/view?ID_CONTEUDO=843> . 2) Install OpenSim 3.1<https://simtk.org/project/xml/downloads.xml?group_id=91>and bring your laptop (or be ready to team up with another participant).

Call for Proposals: OpenSim/NCSRR Pilot Project Program
by opensim-announcement＠simtk.org 01 Jul '13

01 Jul '13

The National Center for Simulation in Rehabilitation Research (NCSRR) and OpenSim project at Stanford seek proposals for our 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. 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<http://www.stanford.edu/group/opensim/about/index.html>. 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 All application materials must be received by midnight on August 30, 2013. Winners will be announced by November 2013 with funding to start in 2014. 1) Written proposals and supporting materials should be sent electronically, preferably as a single PDF, to Jennifer Hicks at opensim(a)stanford.edu 2) You must also complete the online application/registration form<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dEdreTVSc21TeU9rQzF3MW…> . We look forward to reviewing another excellent set of proposals in our third year of the pilot project program. Best Wishes, Jen Hicks -- *Jennifer Hicks, Ph.D.* Associate Director | NCSRR<http://www.stanford.edu/group/opensim/about/index.html> R&D Manager | OpenSim <http://opensim.stanford.edu/> Stanford University 650-498-4403 | jenhicks(a)stanford.edu
