This department is offering a grant to support collaborative research on disease modification or prevention in epilepsy syndromes. The aim is to fund new projects that may lead to the establishment of a collaborative Epilepsy Center without Walls on Disease Modification and Prevention, or other translational and clinical trial programs. The focus is on exploratory studies, and interventional clinical trials are not eligible for this grant. Applications for existing projects will not be considered. Closing date for submissions is November 17, 2011.

| Description:: | This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits Research Program Project Grant (P20) applications from institutions/organizations proposing exploratory collaborative research on disease modification or prevention in an epilepsy syndrome. Successful exploratory studies may lead to subsequent applications for support of a collaborative, multidisciplinary Epilepsy Center without Walls on Disease Modification and Prevention. Depending on the topic area, however, exploratory studies may alternatively lead to applications for the NINDS Translational Program for Resistant Epilepsy and Epileptogenesis, the NINDS Clinical Trials Program, or additional investigator initiated research programs. This FOA is for support of new projects, not continuation of projects that have already been initiated. Interventional clinical trials are also not appropriate for this FOA. |
