<span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:13px;font-family:arial,sans-serif">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. </span><br style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:13px;font-family:arial,sans-serif">
