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. The program includes Pediatric Research and Training Fellowships for Clinicians and welcomes proposals across basic, translational, and clinical research.
Part of AES’s early-career funding portfolio, these fellowships support the development of the next generation of epilepsy investigators. The broader portfolio spans research on all types of epilepsies, seizures, and related conditions, helping emerging researchers develop preliminary data, publications, and momentum for subsequent funding. Support comes from AES and partner organizations whose research priorities may align with proposed projects.
