Abstract
Biomechanics is the application of engineering mechanics to the study of biological systems. The multidisciplinary nature of biomechanics research, and the fact that it often involves complex, collaborative efforts between universities, hospitals, and industry, make biomechanics research management especially difficult. In addition, biomechanics research programs usually involve many individual projects, often directed by independent investigators. These investigators, whether involved principally in biology, medicine or enginering, come to the research with different backgrounds, aspirations and professional languages, sometimes making communication difficult.
