2014 CURE Innovator Award
The CURE Innovator Award supports the exploration of a highly innovative new concept or untested theory that addresses an important problem relevant to epilepsy. The Innovator Award is not intended to support a logical progression of an already established research project but, instead, allows Principal Investigators (PIs) the opportunity to pursue innovative research ideas. This award mechanism supports high-risk studies that have the potential to reveal entirely new avenues for investigation. Research completed through an Innovator Award strives to provide sufficient preliminary data to enable the PI to test a groun...
