On June 12-17, 2016, experts on the biology and engineering of human and animal movement will assemble at the Deer Creek Conference Center and Lodge in Mt. Sterling, OH, for a conference entitled, "Biomechanics and Neural Control of Movement". The goal of the meeting is to promote intensive open-ended debate about the current state of knowledge and areas of future research on human and animal movement. Specific sessions will cover muscle, bone, locomotion, reaching and grasping, modeling, and rehabilitation. The unique venue, isolated from distractions, and the inclusion of experts from many different scientific fields should make this conference different from many annually occurring conferences that are focused on narrower aspects of human and/or animal movement. The proposal seeks funding to publish the consensus findings of the expert panels of the meeting to serve as a roadmap for scientists, engineers, and program managers for federal funding agencies. The outcome should lead to greater scientific advances in the treatment of individuals with movement disabilities, creation of new technology for assisting human movement, and the design of robots emulating biological movement. This conference proposal requests support for journal publication charges. 45 invited experts in muscle biology, movement energetics, skeletal biomechanics, neuromotor adaptation, locomotion, sensorimotor control, rehabilitation robotics, and neuromusculoskeletal modeling will come together in a conference center isolated from a major city. The remote location, relatively small size (140 attendees), and ample discussion time in the program should provide for considerable opportunity to have productive debate on current understanding of the physiology and engineering of movement. Roboticists, computer scientists, physiologists, kinesiologists, clinicians, and biomedical engineers will bring their disparate perspectives to the meeting. There are 9 invited panels with five speakers each. Each panel will prepare a summary review journal paper for publication in a special issue of an open access journal (e.g. Journal of Neural Engineering) to disseminate the discussion and findings of the panel. The funding from this award will go towards the page charges for the special issue.

2016年6月12日至17日，人类和动物运动的生物和工程方面的专家将聚集在山上的鹿溪会议中心和洛奇。斯特林，俄亥俄州，参加题为“运动的生物力学和神经控制”的会议。会议的目标是促进关于人类和动物运动的知识现状和未来研究领域的不限成员名额的密集辩论。具体课程将包括肌肉、骨骼、运动、伸展和抓取、建模和康复。独特的场地，远离干扰，以及来自许多不同科学领域的专家参加，应该使这次会议不同于每年举行的许多会议，这些会议专注于人类和/或动物运动的更狭隘的方面。该提案寻求资金，以公布会议专家小组的共识结果，作为联邦资助机构的科学家、工程师和项目经理的路线图。其结果应导致在治疗行动障碍个人方面取得更大的科学进步，创造帮助人类行动的新技术，并设计模仿生物行动的机器人。该会议提案请求支持期刊出版费用。肌肉生物学、运动能量学、骨骼生物力学、神经运动适应、运动、感觉运动控制、康复机器人和神经肌肉骨骼建模方面的45名特邀专家将聚集在一个与大城市隔绝的会议中心。偏远的地点，相对较小的规模(140名与会者)，以及充足的讨论时间，应该会提供相当大的机会，就当前对运动生理学和工程学的理解进行富有成效的辩论。机器人学家、计算机科学家、生理学家、运动学家、临床医生和生物医学工程师将把他们不同的观点带到会议上。有9个受邀小组，每个小组有5名发言者。每个小组将准备一篇摘要综述期刊论文，发表在开放获取期刊(例如，《神经工程杂志》)的特刊上，以传播小组的讨论和研究结果。这一奖项的资金将用于特刊的页面费用。
