Deadline: Dean's: Contact your Faculty Research Office for deadline details.
Internal: Aug 24, 2012
Sponsor's: Aug 31, 2012

Subject Areas: Rehabilitation, Simulation
Description:

NCSRR awards seed grants for innovative, well-designed pilot projects to accelerate the development of advanced simulation techniques and the use of simulations in rehabilitation research.

We are seeking projects that will further the NCSRR?s mission to equip the rehabilitation research community with state-of-the-art simulation tools, enabling investigators to complement experimental studies of human performance with advanced simulation software and biomechanical models. In particular, we welcome proposals that are using modeling and simulation to address research questions in areas including, but not limited to, stroke, spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy, prosthetics, orthotics, and osteoarthritis. We also welcome proposals that will enhance the capabilities of the OpenSim software package.

Application Details:

NCSRR?s pilot projects program is designed to encourage new collaborations and innovative ideas for utilizing simulations within medical rehabilitation. Projects should have a strong scientific component and demonstrate a clear alignment with the NCSRR?s mission.

We welcome applicants from biomechanics, computer science, robotics, neuroscience, physical therapy, and other fields. We seek proposals from investigators with experience in physics-based modeling and simulation who are conducting rehabilitation research in areas including but not limited to stroke, spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy, prosthetics, orthotics, robotics-assisted therapy, and osteoarthritis. The Principal Investigator must have a faculty or research scientist appointment with a minimum of 50% time devoted to research. Please see website for detailed application information and requirements.

INDIRECT COSTS OF 8% MUST BE INCLUDED IN THE PROJECT BUDGET

NOTE: All Letters of Intent and Full Applications must be processed through Research Development & Services for institutional approval. Requests for Institutional approvals should be received no less than 3 days prior to the posted Sponsor deadline. A ROLA Proposal (bearing applicant, Chair and Dean electronic approvals) is required for each submission.
