IMSI - Integrative Movement Sciences Institute

The Integrative Movement Sciences Institute (IMSI) is an NSF Biology Integration Institute focused on understanding the muscular control of movement across all scales, from molecular to ecological. IMSI connects over 20 institutions and unites experts in biomechanics, biophysics, physiology, neuroscience, and engineering.  Together, our research teams investigate the principles behind agile, efficient, and adaptive movement, with implications for health, rehabilitation, and technology. 

IMSI fosters interdisciplinary research, offering inclusive training for the next generation of scientists through mentorship, team science, leadership development, and open-data sharing. One of IMSI's highlights is the Summer Institute, a key program that draws together diverse trainees for collaborative learning with the hope to encourage interest in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math related to the movement sciences.
