2015 Pediatric Epilepsies Award
There are many known epilepsy syndromes that occur in the pediatric population. These epilepsies are often debilitating and difficult to treat with currently available therapies. CURE seeks novel research projects of relevance to any or all pediatric epilepsies, including: (1) the cellular, molecular, and systems-level understanding of the underlying pathogenic mechanisms; (2) investigations of the impact, natural history, and epidemiology; and (3) novel treatments which may impact progression of the disease. CURE specifically encourages studies that may not be currently fundable by other agencies because of their...
