2015 CURE Challenge Award

2015 CURE Challenge Award CURE promotes research that advances the search for a cure for epilepsy, and addresses the goal of “no seizures, no side effects.” Specifically, we seek to fund studies that will transform epilepsy research and ultimately transform patient care. Successful applicants for the Challenge Award should propose research in at least one of the following priority areas: (1) the basic mechanisms of epileptogenesis, or (2) the multifaceted underlying causes of epilepsy. CURE specifically encourages studies that may not be currently fundable by other agencies, such as the NIH, because of their preliminary or unconventional nature. CURE strongly encourages multidisciplinary collaborative projects, especially those that are inclusive of investigators and expertise from fields outside of epilepsy. *Note: If your study relates to SUDEP, a pediatric epilepsy, or an acquired epilepsy, please apply in the relevant category. CURE reserves the right to move an application to the most appropriate category upon receipt. Eligibility: This award is available to both established and early career investigators* exploring cutting-edge approaches to curing epilepsy. Preference will be given to research addressing the more severe and refractory epilepsies. International applicants are welcome. Researchers who serve on CURE’s Scientific Advisory Council are ineligible to apply for or sponsor a grant for the duration of their term. All materials m...
