*Updated Eligibility Criteria for Restore Center Pilot Project Applications* The Restore Center <http://restore.stanford.edu/> at Stanford University seeks proposals for innovative and meritorious projects that will accelerate the use of sensor and video technology in rehabilitation research and will advance real-world monitoring and delivery of medical rehabilitation for individuals with impaired movement. Applicants can request up to $30,000 in funding. Applications are due on October 1, 2020. The eligibility criteria for applying to this program has recently been changed based on guidance from the NIH. Among other changes, the program is now limited to individuals from U.S. institutions. Read more and learn about other changes <https://restore.stanford.edu/pilot-funding>. *New Resource to Guide the Use of OpenSim in Research* As the capabilities of OpenSim have expanded and the interests of the research community have broadened, we know that it can be challenging to decide what OpenSim workflow is most appropriate for a given research question. In response, we have recently updated our documentation to better describe the different pipelines and tools for simulation available in OpenSim. You can read this Overview of OpenSim Workflows <https://simtk-confluence.stanford.edu/display/OpenSim/Overview+of+OpenSim+W…> and also watch the accompanying webinar <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0gfkm5_Rps&feature=youtu.be>. *Gil Serrancolí Masferrer Becomes Newest OpenSim Fellow* Congratulations to Dr. Serrancolí on becoming the newest OpenSim Fellow. Dr. Serrancolí is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. He is an expert on knee modeling and optimization approaches for musculoskeletal simulation. This honor recognizes a strong commitment to the OpenSim community and a deep expertise in biomechanical modeling and simulation.
