The LGS Foundation is dedicated to improving the lives of those affected by LGS and advancing research into the condition. Emphasizing the importance of patient-family engagement in the clinical trial and drug development process, the foundation aims to expedite the development of meaningful treatments. Through its commitment, the foundation has facilitated the introduction of new treatments and the commencement of various clinical trials.
The grant program from the LGS Foundation aims to support new research projects that focus on basic, translational, and clinical aspects of LGS. Encouraging unsolicited proposals throughout the year, the foundation seeks to fund innovative research relevant to LGS—a neurological condition marked by distinctive seizure types and EEG patterns. Grants are available at funding levels of $25,000, $50,000, or $75,000, catering to projects across a variety of novel topics directly relevant to LGS.
