Hi all. I'm forwarding the below announcement about a resource
intended to stimulate rehabilitation research, specifically including
brain imaging. The announcement mostly speaks for itself, with one
additional clarification: the program is intended to help foster and
stimulate NIH-funded research, and while some resources may be
available to anyone who asks, others (specifically pilot funding) are
only available to US researchers. In any case, queries of all kinds
are most welcome. For more information, visit the web site and/or
send email to the address listed below.

Welcome to the Neuro-Cognitive Rehabilitation Research Network:
Consultation and Pilot Funding Available
The Neuro-Cognitive Rehabilitation Research Network (NCRRN) is a
collaborative effort of the Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute
(MRRI) and the Center for Functional Neuroimaging (CfN) at the
University of Pennsylvania. Our grant focuses on cognitive
neuroscience, cognitive recovery, and cognitive rehabilitation, and on
the use of behavioral, imaging, ERP, and TMS methods of
investigation. In particular, we hope bring together basic and applied
researchers in the study of promising interventions for cognitive
impairment.
We offer a number of services, including:
- Scientific review of projects under development
- Brief preceptorships in Philadelphia
- Pilot funding
- Assistance with scientific meetings relevant to our mission (partial
funding, provision of speakers, etc.)
- Notice of relevant scientific meetings
- Notice of relevant funding opportunities
- On-line resources including annotated reading lists, expert
recommendations on methods, research presentations in slide and
video formats, and summaries of research workshop proceedings
If you're interested in receiving any of these resources, or in
receiving notification of future opportunities or updates, please
visit our website (www.ncrrn.org) or email us at [log in to unmask]
This project is part of the NIH-funded program of Medical
Rehabilitation Research Infrastructure grants, intended to provide
core research tools and technical assistance to basic and clinical
researchers around the country interested in addressing rehabilitation
research topics.
