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 unconven...

2015 CURE SUDEP Award
Every year, more than 1 in 1,000 people with epilepsy die from Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP). There is an urgent need for more research into the causes of SUDEP, including but not limited to the identification of SUDEP-specific biomarkers. Therefore, CURE seeks novel research projects that will address the goal of understanding and eliminating SUDEP. This program will award grants to researchers submitting innovative proposals that suggest new directions for SUDEP research. We specifically encourage studies that may not be currently fundable by other agencies because of their preliminary or unc...
