DESCRIPTION:Aim: Through the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Pro
 gram (CDMRP)\, the Department of Defense is announcing the Epilepsy Resear
 ch Program (ERP) for 2018. The intent of the ERP Idea Development Award is
  to solicit research to understand the magnitude and underlying mechanisms
  of post-traumatic epilepsy.\n \nThe FY18 ERP IDA offers two levels of fu
 nding.  Funding Level I is intended to support high-risk or high-gain app
 lications with Principal Investigators (PIs) at or above the level of a po
 stdoctoral fellow (or equivalent)\, but below the level of Assistant Profe
 ssor (or equivalent).  Funding Level II is intended to support a more mat
 ure\, hypothesis-driven research project.  For a Funding Level II applica
 tion\, the PI must be an independent investigator at or above the level of
  Assistant Professor (or equivalent).\n \nThe research impact for the FY1
 8 ERP IDA is expected to benefit the military\, Veteran\, and civilian com
 munities.  To this end\, applications should address at least one of the 
 FY18 ERP IDA Focus Areas.  The Focus Areas are listed at the end of this 
 announcement. An application that proposes research outside of these Focus
  Areas is acceptable\, as long as the applicant provides a strong rational
 e. \n \nFunding:       Funding Level I - Maximum USD $ 300’000\n
                       Funding Level II – Maximum US
