EPILEPSY GENETICS INITIATIVE
EGI is a $1M initiative created to bridge
the gap between people with epilepsy,
clinicians, and researchers and advance
precision medicine in epilepsy.
SUDEP INITIATIVE
CURE has invested $3.75M to projects
that address the goal of understanding
and eliminating SUDEP.
PTE / TBI INITIATIVE
Funded by a $10 million grant from the
U.S. Department of Defense, this program
supports a team approach to researching
the prevention and treatment of
post-traumatic epilepsy.
INFANTILE SPASMS INITIATIVE
CURE has awarded over $4.1 million to
accelerate the understanding of infantile
spasms and advance a new, disease-
modifying therapy into the clinic.
