Scholarship Description: The Epilepsy Foundation awards grants and fellowships for
cutting-edge research in epilepsy. Program goals include understanding
basic mechanisms, developing new therapeutic approaches, understanding the
behavioral and psychosocial aspects of having epilepsy, and encouraging the
professional development of scientists and healthcare professionals. The
purpose of the Behavioral Sciences Post-doctoral Fellowship Program is to
support the post-doctoral training of behavioral scientists committed to
epilepsy research. The Foundation’s Fellowships offer qualified
individuals the opportunity to develop expertise in epilepsy research through a
one-year training experience and involvement in a research project that has
potential significance for understanding the causes, treatment, or consequences
of epilepsy. This request call for proposals for human research studies
in order to encourage careers in clinical behavioral aspects of epilepsy.
Postdoctoral fellows seeking a fellowship to conduct animal studies/basic
science research should apply to the Postdoctoral Research & Training
fellowship program in the fall.
