<div style="border-collapse:collapse;font-size:13px"><font face="verdana, sans-serif"><span style="background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255)">We recently announced a call for proposals to the NCSRR Pilot Project Program. </span></font><b style="background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255)"><span style="font-weight:normal">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. </span></b>Pilot project awardees may request funding (up to $25,000) for their research or access to additional NCSRR resources (e.g., software engineering support).</div>
