为了最大限度地发挥模拟对康复研究的影响，美国国家康复中心（National Center for Rehabilitation） 康复研究模拟（NCSRR）将吸引和参与来自以下国家的研究人员： 多个领域，加速早期职业科学家的研究。我们的试点研究计划 将与科学家一起发起和维持补充康复领域的研究项目 来自不同的机构。我们会在先导研究成功的基础上， 提出更大的提案（例如，NIH R01，NSF CAREER Awards），吸引新的研究人员， 康复科学，并支持正在进行的合作。我们的具体目标如下： 1.向创新和有价值的试点研究提供种子赠款，以加速使用 模拟康复研究和推进医疗康复。 2.指导和支持试点项目获奖者在一年的任期内和之后， 奖 3.支持高素质的申请人与杰出的研究人员和旅游奖。 4.评估试点项目和杰出研究人员和旅行的影响 奖 通过试点研究和杰出研究人员和旅行奖，我们预计 在未来五年内，我们将能够启动和推进至少65个新的康复项目， 受益于生物力学建模和仿真的研究项目。这些项目将 作为生物力学模拟可能实现的示例，并提供 为今后在这些领域的研究中使用模拟打下基础，同时 为未来成功的NIH拨款申请培养想法。我们的计划旨在 而不仅仅是向调查人员分发种子基金。它是一个组成部分， 建立一个可持续的康复医学专家网络。通过 指导和持续的互动与我们的获奖者，我们将继续发展他们的 专业知识，并鼓励他们分享他们的知识，以建立一个国家网络， 支持NCSRR使命的专家。

To maximize the impact of simulations on rehabilitation research, the National Center for Simulation in Rehabilitation Research (NCSRR) will attract and engage researchers from multiple areas and accelerate the research of early-career scientists. Our Pilot Studies program will initiate and sustain research projects in complementary rehabilitation areas with scientists from a wide range of institutions. We will build on our success so far in using the Pilot Studies to seed larger proposals (e.g., NIH R01s, NSF CAREER Awards), attract new researchers to rehabilitation science, and support ongoing collaborations. Our specific aims are as follows: 1. Award seed grants to innovative and meritorious Pilot Studies to accelerate the use of simulations in rehabilitation research and to advance medical rehabilitation. 2. Mentor and support Pilot Project winners during and after the one-year term of their award. 3. Support high caliber applicants with Outstanding Researcher and Travel Awards. 4. Evaluate the impact of the Pilot Projects and Outstanding Researcher and Travel Awards. Through the Pilot Studies and the Outstanding Researcher and Travel Awards, we anticipate that over the next five years we will be able to initiate and advance at least 65 new rehabilitation research projects that benefit from biomechanical modeling and simulation. These projects will serve as examples of what is possible to achieve with biomechanical simulations and provide a foundation for the use of simulations in future research in those areas, while simultaneously fostering ideas for successful future NIH grant applications. Our program is designed to be much more than just a distribution of seed funds to investigators. It is an integral component for building a sustainable network of experts across all of rehabilitation medicine. Through mentoring and on-going interactions with our awardees, we will continue to develop their expertise and encourage them to share their knowledge to produce a national network of experts that supports the mission of NCSRR.
