The National Science Foundation awarded a $300,000 Project Grant to Rice University under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to support collaborative research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: ASSISTIVE ROBOTICS AND FUNCTIONAL ELECTRICAL STIMULATION: A SYNERGISTIC COMBINATION TO REANIMATE PARALYZED ARMS" from April 2021 through March 2024. The grant funding will support Rice University's research efforts to develop assistive robotics and functional electrical stimulation technologies that can be combined to reanimate paralyzed arms. The Engineering program seeks to improve quality of life and economic strength by fostering innovation and excellence in engineering research, such as this project exploring synergistic technologies with potential to restore arm function for individuals with paralysis. All work will be conducted at Rice University's facilities in Houston, Texas.
