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.
