Description
This opportunity supports new or existing research partnerships focused on collaboratively addressing critical questions relevant to post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE). The intent is to fund synergistic, multi-investigator projects that leverage distinct but complementary expertise to address a central problem in PTE research, including mechanisms, epidemiology, progression, and innovative research tools. The mechanism requires a minimum of two partnering investigators, each with significant, distinct contributions, and prohibits simple collaborations where a partner only provides samples or access. Projects must demonstrate the potential for impact on those living with PTE, their families, or care partners.
