Blue Skies Challenge:
Epilepsy Foundation New England is pleased to announce the following grant competition and pitch contest to the Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont communities:
| Grant Project | Grant Award |
|---|---|
| Research in Epilepsy: Innovations in Diagnosis or Treatment | $75,000 (1) |
| Research in Epilepsy: Innovations to Improve Quality of Life | $75,000 (1) |
| Community Engagement: Bringing Our Community’s Ideas to Life | $1,000-$5,000 (1-3) |
Research in Epilepsy: Innovations in Diagnosis or Treatment
Research in Epilepsy: Innovations to Improve Quality of Life
- Extent to which the award will accelerate the development of an innovative and important product, technology, or therapeutic concept to help people with epilepsy
- Extent to which the project, if funded, will have the backing necessary to be successfully implemented beyond the EFNE grant funding.
The first step is a Letter of Interest, due November 27, 2024 to slinn@epilepsynewengland.org. From those, we will invite a subset to submit a full proposal in January 2025. And from those, a subset will be invited to provide a “pitch” (think “Shark Tank”) to a panel of judges and an audience in March 2025.
We are very grateful to our generous donors who make this 3rd annual competition possible.
