RESEARCH FUNDS AVAILABLE
The National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment
(NOCSAE) is again proud to offer funds to support qualified research
projects.
Since its inception in 1969, The National Operating Committee on Standards
for Athletic Equipment (NOCSAE) has been a leading force in the effort to
improve the safety of athletic equipment. This effort includes the support
of related research and the development of standards for protective
athletic equipment. NOCSAE is soliciting scientific grant proposals on the
mechanisms and the prevention of sports injuries, as related in some
rational manner to protective equipment.
Preliminary one-page proposals are due by December 1, 1996.
Contact Dr. Crisco for further details and an application form.
Eligible institutions are limited to North America.
