Rehabilitation Roundup for December 2018
Greetings!

We're pleased to announce that CARE has received three years of renewed operational funding from the Cockrell School of Engineering! Your contributions made their decision to continue support of CARE a foregone conclusion.

This month Prof. Dagmar Sternad from Northeastern University will be visiting us. Dr. Sternad is one of the foremost minds in the field of human motor control.

Want to get a collaborative idea off the ground with a CARE colleague but don't have money? Consider entering your idea for James' Rehabilitation Engineering graduate course this Spring. See details below.
Best,

Linda Noble and James Sulzer

Use CARE coursework to get your idea off the ground
Every Spring, I (James) teach a graduate-level course on Rehabilitation Engineering in the ME/BME departments. Many CARE members serve as invited lecturers. The main goal of the course is to write a NIH R21-style proposal and collect the pilot data for it in teams of two students. I would love to see new CARE collaborative research ideas proposed for this class where the students can help develop your idea into a grant. Please email me if you're interested.
