Epilepsy Foundation of America-Junior Investigator Research Grant Program

The purpose of the Research Grants Program is to stimulate epilepsy
research by providing funding for investigators in the early stages
of their careers. Seed grants are awarded to clinical investigators 
or basic scientists for support of biological or behavioral research
which will advance the understanding, treatment, and prevention of 
epilepsy.

Eligibility: Priority is given to beginning investigators just 
      entering the field of epilepsy research, to new or innovative 
      projects, and to investigators whose research is relevant to
      developmental pediatric aspects of epilepsy. Applications from
      established investigators (Associate Professor level or above) 
      are INELIGIBLE! 

Stipend: Up to $40,000 per year. Research grants are renewable for a 
      second year on a competitive basis.

Deadline:  An original and 25 copies of all components of the 
      application are due by September 4, 1998.
