The project aims to leverage digital assessment to determine the...
- This $679,475 Project Grant, awarded by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research), will fund a national study on the use of antiepileptic medications among patients with dementia in long-term care facilities. The study aims to understand the factors influencing clinicians' decisions to prescribe antiepileptics, as well as the intended and unintended outcomes of such use. A sub-award of undisclosed amount will go to Brown University to support this research. The findings...
- This federal Project Grant award of $414,305 was provided by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program. The grant will fund research to identify key molecules and pathways underlying the process of epileptogenesis, with the goal of developing therapies to modify disease progression. The research leverages a novel algorithm called MAGIC combined with a large...
- This federal Cooperative Agreement award, funded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) grant program, provides $3,940,692.87 to conduct a Phase 3 clinical trial of an e-health behavioral intervention to improve executive functioning in adolescents with epilepsy. The award recipient, Children's Hospital Medical Center, will evaluate a comprehensive e-health...
- This $1,309,206 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) supports research to investigate spatial recognition memory processes in patients with epilepsy. The goal is to develop improved cognitive assessments and treatments for the memory deficits commonly experienced by epilepsy patients, which are not well captured by current neuropsychological...
- This federal Project Grant award of $431,676 from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) is funding research to investigate the role of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and its interaction with the cytochrome P450 (CYP) and P-glycoprotein (PGP) pathways in regulating anti-seizure medication bioavailability across the blood-brain barrier in drug-resistant epilepsy with...
- This federal Project Grant award of $657,958 from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, is supporting research into the cellular and network mechanisms of epilepsy and neuromodulation. The research team from Trustees of Boston University will use cutting-edge cellular membrane voltage imaging, optogenetics, and local field potential recordings in cortical...
- This $234,630 Project Grant was awarded on August 1, 2025 by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) federal grant program. The grant will support research by The General Hospital Corporation, doing business as Massachusetts General Hospital, to investigate the neurophysiological correlates of cognitive impairment in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy over...
- The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded a Project Grant of $512,438 to Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) on September 16, 2025 under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program. The grant, titled "Scaling Up Task-Shifted Epilepsy Care (SHIFT)," aims to integrate task-shifted epilepsy care and malnutrition care in five communities with populations over 100,000 people. The project...
- This federal Project Grant award of $225,599, awarded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, will support research on the contributions of sex chromosomes versus gonadal hormones in shaping sex differences in epilepsy. The University of Illinois, the awardee, will utilize in vivo video-electroencephalography, RNA sequencing, and immunostaining to determine...
This $207,002 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) will support the development of the Healthy Aging in People with Epilepsy Program (HAP-E), a community-informed, group-based educational program for older adults living with epilepsy. The key objectives are to: 1) determine stakeholders' needs, preferences, and barriers to accessing geriatric epilepsy care through focus groups, interviews, and surveys; 2) develop the HAP-E educational program based on the findings; and 3) pilot test the program in a representative cohort to evaluate its acceptability, feasibility, and initial outcomes. The award was made to the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University, a prominent academic medical institution, and will support this 5-year project from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2030. The goal is to empower older adults with epilepsy and their families/caregivers with knowledge, skills, and tools regarding aging, dementia, and chronic disease management to better serve this underserved population.
