Our Research

We have an audacious vision–to live in a world without epilepsy. Our mission is to fund breakthrough research that will transform the lives of people with epilepsy as we lead the search for a cure.

Explore our Research and Impact

With our unique, cross-sector relationships and influence, CURE Epilepsy sits at the intersection of public, private and industry investment in epilepsy and is poised to lead the way to a cure.

Our Research Strategy

Epilepsy is complex. That’s why our research strategy needs to be multifaceted and bold. Since our inception, we have funded the most innovative, promising science that might otherwise go unfunded.

Research Strategy

Our Areas of Focus

In addition to funding epilepsy research more broadly through investigator-initiated grants, CURE Epilepsy has a deep, sustained focus on several key areas of the field where we believe we can make a big impact over time.

Areas of Focus

Our Research Impact

From creating groundbreaking initiatives on SUDEP and genetics to developing a team-science approach to study post-traumatic epilepsy with the U.S. Department of Defense, we remain laser-focused on funding research to find cures for the epilepsies.
