The American Epilepsy Society (AES) Research and Training Fellowships for Clinicians provide mentored support for clinical fellows and recently appointed clinical faculty who intend to pursue careers in epilepsy research. AES welcomes proposals across basic, translational, and clinical research. The program sits within the society’s early-career funding portfolio, which supports the development of the next generation of epilepsy investigators.
AES also offers Pediatric Research and Training Fellowships for Clinicians. Alongside research funding, these fellowships provide support for participation in the AES Annual Meeting and membership in the society. The broader early-career portfolio aims to help emerging investigators develop research programs, pursue innovative ideas, and build the preliminary data, publications, and momentum needed to compete for larger funding opportunities.
