Intent: To create an avenue to support new or existing collaborative research partnerships between/among investigators to address a research problem or question in a manner that would be unachievable through separate efforts. It is expected that investigators utilize their distinct but complementary perspectives to synergistically address a central...
Virtual Post-Traumatic Epilepsy Research Center (P-TERC) - Faculty Award
Intent of this funding mechanism: To solicit Faculty members to join the Virtual P-TERC in order to advance PTE research through the development of early-career investigators and investigators new to the PTE field.
Important aspects of this award mechanism include:
• Focus on the PI’s research and career development.
• Support for resear...
Intent: To support research that leverages ongoing or completed research studies for which PTE was not an original focus and to provide support to expand the research to develop such a focus and increase our understanding of PTE. The project may include basic, translational, and/or clinical research studies. The PI may be an investigator at any car...
