CURE Innovator Award- Epilepsy

Organisme

The CURE Innovator Award supports the exploration of a highly innovative new concept or untested theory that addresses an important problem relevant to epilepsy.

This program awards seed grants to researchers submitting innovative proposals that will provide new directions for epilepsy therapy, prevention and, ultimately, a cure. We specifically encourage studies that may not be currently fundable by other agencies, such as the National Institutes of Health, because of their preliminary or unconventional nature.

Objecte

The Innovator Award is not intended to support a logical progression of an already established research project but, instead, allows Principal Investigators (PIs) the opportunity to pursue innovative research ideas.

This award mechanism supports high-risk studies that have the potential to reveal entirely new avenues for investigation. Research completed through an Innovator Award strives to provide sufficient preliminary data to enable the PI to test a groundbreaking, original, and/or unconventional hypothesis and has the potential, if successful, to open new areas for epilepsy research.
