Description
The American Epilepsy Society (AES) Postdoctoral Research Fellowships support postdoctoral trainees investigating the causes, treatment, and consequences of epilepsy under the guidance of an experienced epilepsy research mentor. Proposals are welcomed across basic, translational, and clinical epilepsy research. The fellowship provides one year of stipend and travel support to the AES Annual Meeting, along with one year of AES membership.
