We are delighted to announce our most recent grant recipients for our newest grant mechanism. Recognizing a need to support the epilepsy research community as it faces unanticipated challenges due to the pandemic, we launched the CURE Epilepsy Research Continuity Fund, made possible by the generous support of the Cotton family, in memory of Vivian Cotton.
The CURE Epilepsy Research Continuity Fund provides grants of up to $15,000 each to epilepsy researchers to cover unexpected costs due to the pandemic such as extra costs to rebuild reagents for interrupted experiments, additional salaries to cover employee time, and increased costs to comply with COVID-19 health and safety requirements so vital research can continue.
COVID-19 has challenged our community, but we remain unrelenting in our commitment to deliver on our mission of promoting and funding patient-focused research to find a cure for epilepsy.
