*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). More information about the program and a new FAQ section is available on our website: http://www.stanford.edu/group/opensim/support/pilot.html * * *Upcoming Webinars* We have several upcoming webinars that we encourage you to attend, including one this Thursday on estimating joint loads: June 9, 2011 at 6:00 pm PST Estimating Joint Loads in OpenSim, Matt DeMers http://www.stanford.edu/group/opensim/support/event_details.html?id=17&title... 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: http://www.stanford.edu/group/opensim/support/webinars.html * * *Workshops and Tutorials* The OpenSim team is planning several workshops and tutorials in the coming months: June 30, 2011 OpenSim and NMS Physiome Workshop ISB Technical Group on Computer Simulation http://opensim.stanford.edu/support/event_details.html?id=3&title=OpenSim -and-NMS-Physiome-Workshop August 15-17, 2011 OpenSim Workshop at Stanford University Mark your calendars and watch the website for more information soon.
