In keeping with this goal, the Foundation awards Research and Training Fellowships for Clinicians for one year of supervised study and research to clinically trained professionals who intend to develop productive epilepsy research programs. Areas of training can include: 1) mechanisms of epilepsy; 2) novel therapeutic approaches; 3) clinical trials; 4) development of new technologies; 5) behavioral and psychosocial impact of epilepsy. The individualized training program may consist of both didactic training and a supervised research experience that is designed to develop the necessary knowledge and skills in the chosen area of research and foster the career goals of the candidate. This fellowship program is also viewed as a way for awardees to develop sufficient scientific skills and preliminary data to compete successfully for more long-term support (e.g. grants from the NIH).
