OMNI is excited to announce the launch of the "OMNI Vanguard Pilot Grant Program". This initiative is designed to foster innovative research ideas that promise to significantly enhance our competitiveness for external funding. We believe in seeding pioneering ideas and collaborations that can transform the landscape of musculoskeletal and neurological research.

我们的使命
The Ohio Musculoskeletal and Neurological Institute (OMNI), whose mission is to advance the diagnosis, 治疗, and prevention of musculoskeletal and neurological disorders, serves as an interdisciplinary catalyst for cutting-edge research. There are two research “centers” nested under the OMNI umbrella: 1) OMNI’s Center for Healthy Aging, and 2) OMNI’s Injury and Pain Research Center. The research across these centers has an overarching aim of developing interventions that enhance physical function and well-being, and ultimately reducing disability and pain-related suffering.
OMNI investigators direct many pre-clinical and clinical research-based OMNI-affiliated实验室. The pre-clinical laboratories include，但不限于:
- 骨关节炎研究实验室 (导演:朱守安，博士)
- Skeletal Muscle Function and Physiology Laboratory (导演:科里·鲍曼博士)
- Bone and Experimental Pathology Laboratory (导演:Thomas Rosol, DVM, PhD)
- Functional Neuromuscular Genomics Laboratory (Director: Nathanial Szewczyk, PhD)
- Biomaterials and Additive Manufacturing Laboratory (导演:安德鲁·威姆斯博士)
- Skeletal Muscle Metabolism Laboratory (导演:Leslie Consitt，博士)
- Functional Morphology, Biomechanics and Physiology of Feeding Laboratory (导演苏珊·威廉姆斯博士)
The clinical research laboratories include，但不限于:
- Neuromuscular Biomechanics and Health Assessment Laboratory (Directors: Dustin Grooms, PhD and Janet Simon, PhD)
- Neuromusculoskeletal Research Laboratory (导演:布莱恩·克拉克博士)
- Clinical Psychophysiology Laboratory (Director: Christopher France, PhD)
- 大脑实验室 (导演:Julie Suhr，博士)
- Musculoskeletal and Neuroimaging Research Laboratory (Directors: Brian Clark, PhD and Dustin Grooms, PhD).
OMNI is consistently striving towards development of innovative, 集成, and interdisciplinary team-based science that has the potential for bench-to-bedside-to-community impact. OMNI’s active extramural research grants enterprise exceeds $20-30 million. Ten of OMNI’s scientists’ work has been cited more than 2,000 times, and five of OMNI scientists’ have received more than 10,000 citations. Seven OMNI scientists have been ranked in the top 2% of their field based on career long citation (Ioannidis et al.， PLoS Biology, 2020). OMNI trainees also have an outstanding record of accomplishments. With many of our trainees having secured many training grants from highly prestigious agencies (e.g., NIH, American Heart Association, etc.), and landing high sought after faculty positions at R1 institutions.
