# Movement Analysis Research Core (MOVAN)

> **NIH NIH P20** · UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA OMAHA · 2021 · $236,917

## Abstract

Project Summary
The overall goal of the Movement Analysis Research Core (MOVAN) is to establish a unique
resource that will enhance the effectiveness of research in the Center for Research in Human
Movement Variability (MOVCENTR). The aims of the project are to 1) enable measurement of
behavioral function and movement analysis, 2) provide centralized clinical measurement and
training, along with support for subject recruitment and research compliance, 3) mentor
MOVCENTR investigators in the assessment and interpretation of behavioral function and
movement analysis data, and 4) build MOVAN as a leading resource to the institution, the state,
and the region for assessment of behavioral function and movement analysis, specifically for
use in human movement variability research to treat and prevent motor related disorders. The
MOVAN Core is fundamental to the development of the MOVCENTR as it is central to nearly all
activities aimed at studying human movement variability in order to treat and prevent motor
related disorders. Institutional research capacity will be enhanced by the fully established
MOVAN Core, substantially enhancing our competitiveness for sustainable programmatic
research grants and program projects.
