Research Institute or Funding

Citizens United for Research in Epilepsy (CURE), is the leading nongovernmental agency fully committed to funding research in epilepsy. The organization was founded by Susan Axelrod and a small group of parents of children with epilepsy who were frustrated with their inability to protect their children from seizures and the side effects of medications. Unwilling to sit back, they joined forces to spearhead the search for a cure.

Since its inception in 1998, CURE has been at the forefront of epilepsy research, raising more than $30 million to fund research and other initiatives that will lead the way to a cure for epilepsy. CURE funds grants for young and established investigators and has awarded more than 160 cutting-edge projects in 13 countries around the world to date.

Seizing Life® is a CURE podcast and videocast aiming to inspire empathy, offer helpful stories, and give hope as we search for a cure for epilepsy. Listen as guests share stories and insights on living with and battling epilepsy.
