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，Maher这笔赠款提供了一个题为“脑瘫成人：一个研讨会，以确定在这个快速增长的人口中治疗和预防继发性肌肉骨骼和神经肌肉并发症的挑战”的研讨会的部分支持。“研讨会的赞助者是联合脑瘫研究和教育基金会。 来自国家科学基金会的资金将帮助支持一个关于脑瘫康复工程方法的会议。 该研讨会将于2008年9月16日至17日在格鲁吉亚亚特兰大举行的美国脑瘫与发育医学学会（AACPDM）年会之前举行。学术价值：工程学特别会议的目的是开始探索新的尖端技术在神经康复中的有用性，如虚拟现实和触觉，机器人和功能性电刺激，以治疗脑瘫患者在中年和晚年的活动和功能丧失，以及提请注意这些领域的未来临床研究。更广泛的影响：更广泛的影响产生于本次研讨会的目标，包括传播到研究和医学界。 脑瘫影响一般人群，因此，技术的改进可能对国家的整体健康产生有益的影响。UCPREF是国家主要的非政府机构，赞助与脑瘫直接相关的研究。在其50年的历史中，UCPREF提供了超过4000万美元的研究赠款，以支持生物医学和临床科学以及生物工程领域的约500个研究项目。UCPREF的目标是通过严格验证的新尖端疗法彻底改变CP的治疗和预防。
