[Opensim-announcement] Call for Applications: NCSRR/OpenSim Pilot Projects 2018

[Jennifer Hicks]

The National Center for Simulation in Rehabilitation Research (NCSRR) and
OpenSim project at Stanford University 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. 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 $40,000 for their
research. Awards have historically ranged between $20,000 and $40,000. 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 5pm PDT on August 1, 2018.
Winners will be announced in October 2018 with funding to start in early
2019.

1) Written proposals and supporting materials should be sent
electronically, preferably as a single PDF, to opensim at stanford.edu
2) You must also complete the online application/registration form

.


We look forward to reviewing another excellent set of proposals for the
pilot project program.

Best Wishes,
Jen Hicks
