The Epilepsy Study Consortium Mini-Grant is sponsored by the Epilepsy Study Consortium and offered through the American Epilepsy Society’s early-career funding programs. 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 allocation of protected research time.
Clinical or basic-science projects may be proposed. Funding can support a limited research project or the collection of preliminary data leading to a larger research effort. The opportunity forms part of AES’s commitment to developing the next generation of epilepsy investigators.
