The National Center for Simulation in Rehabilitation Research (NCSRR) and OpenSim project at Stanford seek proposals for our pilotprojectprogram. 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.
Pilotproject 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.
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@stanford.edu
