Biomechanics funding opportunities - May 16, 2002

[Ton Van Den Bogert]

Here are this weeks's funding opportunities in biomechanics.

It may seem that the United States has all the opportunities, but this
is mainly because three of the contributors are located there. Contributions
from Europe, Asia, Latin America are still welcome.

We still want to archive these announcements into a permanent, web-based
resource, but it is hard to find time. Volunteers with ideas and web
experience are welcome.
