- 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...
- The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded a $222,160 Project Grant under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). The grant will support Dr. Alena Stasenko's research to develop risk and resilience models of cognitive aging in epilepsy and novel, tech-based interventions to improve brain health. The project aims to leverage digital assessment to determine the...
- The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded a $188,237 Project Grant under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) to the University of Virginia (UVA) to train the next generation of epilepsy researchers. The goal of the 5-year Epilepsy Training Program (ETP) at UVA is to provide comprehensive training in the basic, translational, and clinical aspects of epilepsy research. The ETP will offer an epilepsy topics...
- This federal 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) program, provides $617,687 to the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) to build infrastructure for community-engaged research interventions on three neurologic conditions affecting brain health: stroke, vascular cognitive impairment and dementia, and Parkinson's...
- 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...
- The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded a $426,250 Project Grant under CFDA 93.853, Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders, to the Regents of the University of Minnesota, Office of Sponsored Projects Administration. This 2-year grant will fund research using cutting-edge voltage imaging to examine how interactions between specific neuronal circuit elements in the hippocampus relate to the development of temporal lobe...
- This $261,589 Project Grant 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) program, aims to leverage a community-engaged approach to capture experiences of refugees with neurological illness, adapt and test the feasibility of a peer support intervention, and build long-term capacity for community-partnered clinical research addressing neurological disparities...
This $248,832 planning grant was awarded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), which administers the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program. The grant supports the "Planning for Epilepsy Health Disparities Research Through Community Co-Production" project led by the Epilepsy Foundation of America. The project aims to study the drivers of health disparities in epilepsy and develop plans for interventions to reduce the disproportionate burden. It will build collaborations, capacity, and research expertise within the Epilepsy Learning Healthcare System (ELHS) network to conduct co-produced health disparities research on epilepsy outcomes. Key activities include developing methods to engage local community and patient/family partners, piloting strategies to identify and monitor health outcome differences, and promoting research readiness for future interventions.
