CURE Epilepsy's mission is to cure epilepsy, transforming and saving millions of lives. They aim for a world without epilepsy where no person's life is limited by seizures.
The CURE Epilepsy Award is designed to support scientific advances with the potential to transform the lives of people affected by epilepsy. It emphasizes prevention and disease modification. The grant focuses on several key areas: basic mechanisms of epilepsy, acquired epilepsies, pediatric epilepsies, SUDEP (sudden unexpected death in epilepsy), treatment-resistant epilepsies, and the intersection between sleep and epilepsy. This grant program seeks to fund research that aligns with these priority areas to advance the understanding and treatment of epilepsy.
