We welcome poster submissions for anyone attending the meeting.
SUBMISSIONS CLOSED
In particular, the goal of the conference is to address the two key questions:
Question 1: What can computational modeling do for neurorehabilitation? Improve the science, treatment, personalization, and daily lives of clients and caregivers.
Question 2: How can computational modeling improve neurorehabilitation? Test hypotheses and generate predictions about the mechanisms that support and enhance development, function, recovery, and adaptation.
Abstracts should address one or more of the four Focus Areas where computational approaches have the potential to transform neurorehabilitation:
- Modeling adaptation and plasticity How do we leverage modeling to understand neuroplasticity? How can the integration of novel imaging technologies, machine learning, and physiology-based models be used to predict and understand the complex processes underlying beneficial neuroplasticity and adaptation that support learning and recovery?
- Modeling for personalization A central challenge in rehabilitation is that each individual’s developmental, injury, treatment response, and long-term recovery trajectory is unique. However, it is necessary to first determine the degree of personalization required to optimize and support development and recovery in practice. How can we leverage large, diverse, and real-time datasets to support an appropriate and effective level of personalization to optimize outcomes?
- Modeling human-device interactions Interconnected human-centered technology has become a critical part of function and rehabilitation – including development, acute care, training, and activities of daily living. However, neurorehabilitation requires new engineering approaches to support the design, interaction, integration and control of devices to support development and recovery. How can modeling inform and accelerate this development?
- Modeling ‘in the wild’ Rehabilitation does not end at the clinic’s door – it extends into and is meant to serve our daily lives and practices. How can modeling support rehabilitation in unstructured human environments to offer actionable insights to support and promote recovery? How can modeling identify and dismantle environmental and societal barriers that cause disability to support and enhance activities of daily living? Conversely, how can modeling identify facilitators that could improve outcomes?

Apply to be a DARE2023 Fellow
A main goal of the conference is to catalyze a diverse community of Fellows that come together addressing the two key questions above.
This cohort of Fellows will receive travel assistance and will participate in a set of activities designed to bring together innovative ideas and perspectives to write a position paper about the needs and opportunities in Neurorehabilitation.
This cohort of Fellows will embody diversity of career stages, gender identities, racial and ethic backgrounds, scientific perspectives, type of home institution (public, private, community college, teaching or research focused, minority serving, etc), and geographic distribution.
To apply, write a 300 word statement about how your work and career demonstrate:
- Relevance: Directly addresses the two key question of the DARE 2023 conference.
- Broader Impacts: A clear commitment to, and record of, contributions to society and stake holders in the field of Neurorehabilitation.
- Future Goals: How the conference would support and accelerate your clear and compelling career goals in Neurorehabilitation.
- Institutional Impact: Describe whether you are at an institution where your participation in such meetings is common or uncommon. In this context, state how your attendance as a Fellow is likely to catalyze participation of your students and faculty in new work and collaborations with stakeholders in Neurorehabilitation.
You will need to submit an abstract in order to apply to be a DARE 2023 Fellow.
