project database
Foot and ankle biomechanics is an important area of research and
attracts research funding from a wide range of funding agencies
worldwide. This database will be populated by communicating with
the major funding agencies worldwide and compiling details of all
funded projects related to foot and ankle biomechanics. Members
will also be able to add funded project details to the database.
Through the collaborative workspace members will be able to host
a project specific web site, discussion forum, blogs and other interactive
tools to facilitate dissemination and discussion of their research.
This is expected to add value to the research projects and make
the use of the i-FAB collaborative workspace as part of a research
project attractive when bidding for research funding.
The intention is that the project database will create greater profile
for state of the art research projects, promote less duplication
of efforts internationally and greater co-operation between research
groups and research users who work in closely linked areas.
