Aim: CURE Epilepsy seeks to promote the careers of early-career investigators to allow them to develop an independent research focus. Researchers may propose basic or clinical studies, but this award mechanism is not intended to support clinical trials. Research that involves collaboration and a multidisciplinary approach is desirable.
