Epilepsy Research: Our Areas of Focus
Our CURE Epilepsy-driven research initiatives reflect areas of particular need and exceptional promise.
According to my calculations, every CURE Epilepsy dollar that I received was turned into $10 in federal grant funding. I think it’s of crucial importance to have this kind of seed funding for novel ideas because it’s those projects that really can be paradigm-shifting and that can move research forward.

The resources and flexibility afforded by the CURE Epilepsy Catalyst program enable researchers an opportunity to jump-start the long, complex path from lab discovery to clinic. The design and implementation of this program will reap rich dividends for the field.
