Description
The Epilepsy Study Consortium sponsors this mini-grant through the American Epilepsy Society’s early-career funding offerings. It supports epilepsy fellows undertaking mentored research on anti-epileptic drug therapy during their fellowship training, with an emphasis on the fellow’s mentorship and training experience rather than prior research experience or a specified amount of protected research time.
Projects may involve clinical or basic-science research. Funding can support a limited research project or the collection of preliminary data leading to a larger research effort. The program sits within AES’s broader commitment to developing the next generation of epilepsy investigators and advancing research that improves patient care.
