[Opensim-announcement] Call for Proposals: OpenSim/NCSRR Pilot Project Program

[opensim-announcement at simtk.org]

The National Center for Simulation Research (NCSRR) and OpenSim project at
Stanford seeks 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. 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. 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<http://www.stanford.edu/group/opensim/about/index.html>.


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 31, 2012.
 Winners will be announced by November 2012 with funding to start in 2013.

1) Written proposals and supporting materials should be sent
electronically, preferably as a single PDF, to Jennifer Hicks at
opensim at stanford.edu.
2) You must also complete the online application/registration
form<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dDRsa1lENGJEN2k2bWZoNVJOOC1vQXc6MQ#gid=0>
.


We look forward to reviewing another excellent set of proposals in our
second year of the pilot project program.

Best Wishes,
Jen Hicks
