that will ultimately improve the lives of persons with epilepsy. This
initiative recognizes the need for research and new insights into these
scientific areas.Grant funds may be used for salary support for personnel
directly engaged in the project, consumable supplies and services, and travel
essential to the conduct of the research. Grant funds may not be used for
indirect costs or institutional overhead, and the purchase of permanent
equipment that exceeds 10% of the budget without prior approval. Award funds
