About the Opportunity

The Epilepsy Research Program (ERP) Research Partnership Award supports new or existing research partnerships focused on collaboratively addressing critical questions relevant to post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE).

• Only the Initiating Principal Investigator (PI) submits a pre-application, but all PIs must submit full applications.
• The Partnering PI(s) submit an abbreviated package specific to their portion of the research project.
• If recommended for funding, each PI will be named on separate awards to the recipient organization(s).
• All associated applications for a research project may be withdrawn if the initiating or partnering application is rejected or administratively withdrawn.
