OpenSim News, Events, and Opportunities
*Participate in the next OpenSim Webinar* Measuring and Incorporating Subject-Specific Muscle Parameters in Post-Stroke Gait Simulations* *Jill Higginson, Brian A. Knarr, and John W. Ramsay, University of Delaware Thursday, September 19, 2013 at 9:30 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time Read more and register<http://www.stanford.edu/group/opensim/support/event_details.html?id=81&title=Webinar-Measuring-and-Incorporating-Subject-Specific-Muscle-Parameters-in-Post-Stroke-Gait-Simulations> *Find OpenSim models for research and teaching* We created a new Musculoskeletal Models Wiki<http://simtk-confluence.stanford.edu:8080/display/OpenSim/Musculoskeletal+Models>Page<http://simtk-confluence.stanford.edu:8080/display/OpenSim/Musculoskeletal+Models>to summarize key information (e.g. authors, intended uses, and download info) for publicly available OpenSim models. The table is designed to help users find models and help authors educate users. If you are a model author, feel free to edit your entry. If there are models that we've missed, please let us know and we'll add them to the list. *Learn about a new DARPA funding opportunity on injury reduction and performance enhancement* A new funding opportunity<https://www.fbo.gov/spg/ODA/DARPA/CMO/DARPA-BAA-13-43/listing.html>has recently been released for the DARPA Warrior Web program, which seeks to develop a soft, conformal undersuit to reduce injury and enhance performance of soldiers. The OpenSim software platform is the Warrior Web's preferred biomechanical modeling environment<http://opensim.stanford.edu/support/darpa_warrior_web.html>. For those who wish to learn more about the Warrior Web opportunity, DARPA is holding a Proposers' Day<https://safe.sysplan.com/confsys/warrior_web_b/>on September 5 in Arlington, VA. *Submit your Pilot Project Proposals* 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. Applications are due by August 30. Read more and learn how to apply.<http://www.stanford.edu/group/opensim/support/pilot.html> *Apply to be an OpenSim Fellow* We are pleased to announce the OpenSim Fellows Program <http://www.stanford.edu/group/opensim/support/fellows.html>– a new initiative from the OpenSim project and the National Center for Simulation in Rehabilitation Research. The goal of the OpenSim Fellows Program is to cultivate and engage a community of OpenSim experts who will collectively advance the field of neuro-musculoskeletal modeling and simulation.
