Dear OpenSim Users,
We have several announcements and upcoming events to share with you.
NCSRR Pilot Projects
We recently announced a call for proposals to the NCSRR 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).
Upcoming Webinars
We have several upcoming webinars that we encourage you to attend, including one this Thursday on estimating joint loads:
July and August 2011
Simulation of Pathologic Gait in OpenSim, Katherine Steele
Further details coming soon
Our website has links to recordings of past webinars and a summary of questions and answers from earlier broadcasts. We will also post updates to the webinar series schedule on the page:
