CBET-0810930, MaherThis grant provides partial support of a workshop entitled "Adults with Cerebral Palsy: A Workshop to Define the Challenges of Treating and Preventing the Secondary Musculoskeletal and Neuromuscular Complications in this Rapidly Growing Population." The sponsor of the workshop is the United Cerebral Palsy Research and Educational Foundation (UCPREF). Funding from the National Science Foundation will help support one session on engineering approaches for cerebral palsy rehabilitation. The workshop will be held prior to the American Academy of Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Medicine (AACPDM) annual conference in Atlanta, Georgia on September 16th & 17th, 2008. Intellectual Merit:The purpose of the special session on engineering is to begin to explore the usefulness of new cutting edge technologies in neurorehabilitation such as virtual reality and haptics, robotics and functional electrical stimulation to treat loss of mobility and functionality in cerebral palsy patients during middle and later life, as well as draw attention to these areas for future clinical research.Broader Impacts:The broader impacts arise from the objectives of this workshop which include dissemination to the research and medical communities. CP effects the general population, and as such, improvements in technology may have beneficial effects to the overall health of the nation.UCPREF is the nation's principal non-government agency sponsoring research directly relevant to cerebral palsy. In its 50 year history, UCPREF has provided more than $40 million for research grants to support approximately 500 research projects in the biomedical and clinical sciences and bioengineering. The goal of UCPREF is to revolutionize the treatment and prevention of CP with rigorously proven new cutting edge therapies.

CBET-0810930，Maherthis Grant提供了一个题为“患有大脑麻痹的成年人：定义迅速增长的人群中次要肌肉骨骼和神经肌肉并发症的挑战的研讨会：一个工作室。” 该研讨会的赞助商是联合脑瘫研究和教育基金会（UCPREF）。 国家科学基金会的资金将有助于支持一次有关脑瘫康复工程方法的课程。 该研讨会将于2008年9月16日至17日在佐治亚州亚特兰大举行的美国脑瘫和发育医学学院（AACPDM）年度会议之前举行脑瘫患者在中期和晚年的功能，并引起人们对这些领域的关注，以供未来的临床研究。 CP影响普通人群，因此，技术的改进可能对美国的整体健康有益影响。UCPREF是美国的主要非政府机构赞助的研究与脑瘫直接相关的研究。在其50年的历史中，UCPREF为研究补助金提供了超过4000万美元的资金，以支持生物医学和临床科学和生物工程的大约500个研究项目。 UCPREF的目的是用严格证明的新尖端疗法彻底改变CP的治疗和预防。
