The Taking Flight Award seeks to promote the careers of early-career investigators to allow them to develop an independent research focus.
Característiques principals
CURE Epilepsy’s priority research areas focus on those that have the potential to truly transform and save lives. Prevention, disease modification, and elimination are critical goals and consistent with our mission.

  • Transformative research to enhance our understanding of the cellular, molecular, genetic, and systems-level mechanisms
  • Innovative approaches that can prevent, modify and/or arrest the development of acquired epilepsy.
  • Research that will inform the development of novel therapies to prevent onset or halt the progression of severe pediatric epilepsies.
  • Research focused on new, effective treatments for the > thirty percent of the epilepsy population who are pharmacoresistant.
  • Novel research that furthers our understanding of the causes and ultimate elimination of SUDEP.
  • Translational, clinical, and clinically informed basic research that will facilitate understanding of the cellular-, molecular-, and systems-level mechanisms that underlie the relationships between sleep and epilepsy.

    Based on CURE Epilepsy’s current research objectives, lower priority will be given for research in the following areas:

  • Research that focuses solely on a comorbid condition without also seeking to understand the accompanying epilepsy.
  • Research that focuses solely on improving localization of the epileptic seizure focus.
