CATEGORIES:Call for proposal
DESCRIPTION:Aim:  The Epilepsy Innovation Institute (Ei2) is pleased to a
 nnounce a Request for Proposals for the My Brain Map initiative to fund pi
 lot studies that would propose novel exploratory ways to model seizure pro
 pagation in a personalized brain network model. We are looking for proposa
 ls that seek to test novel\, unconventional hypotheses or pursue major met
 hodological or technical challenges in network modeling for epilepsy. We a
 re interested in funding innovative multi-scale approaches to brain mappin
 g. Therefore\, we encourage proposal submissions that can begin to correla
 te standard measures of macro-network activity (i.e. EEG and/or fMRI) with
  microphysiological mechanisms (such as oxygen\, microdialysis of extracel
 lular fluids\, local field potentials\, etc).\n \nOur ultimate end-goal i
 s to create a user-friendly data visualization tool for seizure propagatio
 n personalized to the individual’s brain network. This request for propo
 sals will be used to fund the preliminary exploratory work needed to devel
 op a prototype visualization tool. Priority will be given to investigators
  who propose employing new technologies and/or new analytical methods on e
 xisting data sets already collected.\n\nFunding:        $200\,000\n
  \nEligibility: PIs must hold a full‐time faculty or industry appointme
 nt at the level of Assistant Professor (or equivalent) or above at an acad
 emic\, non‐profit research institution\, or industry organization whose 
 primary mission includes medical research within or outside the United Sta
 tes. PIs must be able to show clear evidence of an independent research pr
 ogram. Investigators need not be specifically trained in the field of epil
 epsy or have any documented experience with epilepsy research. However\, r
 esearchers who are new to epilepsy will need to ensure that there is an ep
 ilepsy research expert on their team during the formative stages of the re
 search plan.\n \nHow to Apply: A Letter of Intent (LOI) should be submitt
 ed first. All applicants must submit a LOI to the Epilepsy Foundation prio
 r to submission of a full proposal. Please carefully follow the instructio
 ns in proposalCENTRAL. The LOI consists of a title page\, PI information\,
  Organization information\, Key personnel\, and the Letter itself. Those t
 hat are selected to move forward will be notified by 05 August\, at which 
 time Full grant applications will be requested (due 29 November).\n \nIf 
 EPFL will serve as your host institution\, please use the following instit
 ution name in proposalCENTRAL: Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne 
 EPFL\n \nDeadlines:     Letter of Intent: 21 June 2019 (5:00 PM EDT)\
 n                      Full application (by invitatio
 n):  29 November 2019\n \nFurther information\n\n	More information about
