The New Therapy - Commercialization Grants Program is a unique partnership between two leading epilepsy non-profit organizations, the Epilepsy Therapy Project and the Epilepsy Foundation. The mission of the New Therapy - Commercialization Grants Program is to drive the development of new therapies for epilepsy, accelerating the advancement of research from the laboratory to the patient. Funding is provided to academic and commercial groups worldwide. The Program seeks to advance the development of new therapies including but not limited to medicines, biologics or devices. All proposals must demonstrate a clear path from the lab to the patient and are evaluated with consideration for their potential value to patients, likelihood of successful development including regulatory approval and the timeframe of development. The Program also encourages 1:1 matching grants to academic and commercial entities to support the commercialization of novel approaches to the treatment of epilepsy. Preference will be given to proposals that already have a commercial partner engaged to assist with development, and to proposals that have committed or matched funding from a sponsoring institution, commercial partner or other third party source.
Applicants must demonstrate background work beyond the basic science discovery stage.
Areas of interest include:
Novel approaches to treatment. Platform technology to advance screening techniques that can be utilized by multiple laboratories, including utility of techniques for early proof-of-concept trials. Adaptation of treatment in development for another therapeutic area to assess utility for epilepsy (while maintaining patent protection).
All proposals will be evaluated by our Business and Scientific Advisory Boards, as described below:
Proposals are rated on the likelihood of success by the Business Advisory Board as:
Intellectual Property Strategy & Status; Freedom To Operate Can this Get to Patients: Investment Potential & Likelihood of Ongoing Funding Support Probability of Success / Time Factor Fit with Program Mission / Patient Impact Overall Impression
Proposals are rated on the likelihood of success by the Scientific Advisory Board as:
Quality of Science Probability of Successful completion of milestones / outlined program Timeframe of Success Fit with Program Mission / Impact on Patients Overall Impression
These grants are awarded only to programs that have progressed beyond the basic science discovery stage. Investigators are strongly advised to have their compounds screened, as appropriate, by the NINDS ASP Program, http://www.ninds.nih.gov/research/asp/index.htm. Investigators are expected to have an established record of achievement in the area. Full intellectual property (IP) rights (composition of matter) are preferred over method of use IP. Clinical programs must have a reasonable protocol and sample size to assure that the results will be meaningful; studies of patients should describe the type of seizure/epilepsy that will be investigated. Device programs should present novel concepts for treatment.
Confidential information should NOT be sent to ETP or provided in any grant application without advance discussion with ETP and only with appropriate confidentiality agreements.
Scientific questions about appropriateness of an application should be directed to Roger J. Porter, MD, roger@epilepsytherapyproject.org.

The Targeted Research Initiative for Youth grant program recognizes the increasing need for epilepsy and seizure research in populations from birth through the teen years involving pathophysiology, epidemiology, diagnosis, behavioral manifestations, medication therapy, and quality-of-life issues.
The Foundation invites research grant applications from investigators interested in psychosocial problems and comorbidities of infants, children and adolescents with epilepsy including, but not limited to topics such as psychiatric comorbidity; treatment of behavioral and cognitive comorbidities, including innovative techniques such as utilization of internet or computer based technologies; studies of the impact of impaired social cognition on educational and occupational outcomes; difficulties and treatment gaps for adolescents transitioning to adulthood; social supports for adolescents with epilepsy; health access and literacy including family communication with health care professionals; the impact of other health conditions (e.g. sleep difficulties, migraines, etc.) on epilepsy treatment and outcome.
Targeted Research Initiative for Severe Symptomatic Epilepsies
The Epilepsy Foundation is pleased to announce its first annual Targeted Research Initiative for Severe Symptomatic Epilepsies grant program. This program seeks to better understand, diagnose, identify co morbidities, and treat these rare but devastating epilepsy syndromes. The catastrophic epilepsies of childhood commonly include Othara's syndrome, severe myoclonic epilepsy in infancy (Dravet), infantile spasm, progressive myoclonic epilepsies, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, Doose syndrome, Sturge-Weber syndrome, Rasmussen encephalitis and, in later childhood, Landau-Kleffner syndrome (LKS) and continuous spike and wave in slow-wave sleep (CSWSS).
Epilepsy Foundation Targeted Research Initiative for Morbidity and Mortality
The Targeted Research Initiative for Morbidity and Mortality supports research that generates initial data leading to more extensive projects that will generate knowledge that will ultimately improve the lives of persons with epilepsy. This initiative recognizes the need for research and new insights into these scientific areas.
The broad focus of the morbidity portion of this program includes: identification of somatic comorbidities in epilepsy that occur more than expected among controls, including but not limited to diabetes, gastrointestinal bleeding, chronic lung disease, congenital cardiac abnormalities, heart failure, and pneumonia; and associations between somatic comorbidities in epilepsy and epilepsy outcomes, including quality of life in epilepsy, seizure remission, stigma and other outcomes.
The mortality portion of the program is focused upon potentially preventable causes of death in epilepsy, such as accidents, suicide and SUDEP. Applicants are encouraged to examine risk factors for these causes of death in epilepsy; as well as interventions to decrease the presence of risk factors for these causes of death where risk factors have been identified.
Massage Therapy Foundation Student Case Report Contest
The Massage Therapy Foundation is delighted to invite you to participate in our Student Case Report Contest. This contest fosters an opportunity for students to develop research skills by conducting their own research case report in which they will summarize their results in the format of a professional research paper. Top-rated reports will receive recognition in the way of publication opportunities and cash rewards. This educational event also provides research acclaim for the host schools. Please see the Foundation’s Mission and Goals at www.massagetherapyfoundation.org.
Reports must be submitted online through www.massagetherapyfoundation.org by March 1, 2012
Students must report on independent clinical interventions on one client with guidance from a Case Report Supervisor and/or a Clinic Supervisor. This includes doing a literature review on the presenting condition or client goal; creating and implementing a treatment plan in accordance with the literature, the needs of the client, and the students’ expertise; writing up the results; discussing the implications of the outcomes; and offering suggestions for future study. Because a case report is on one client only we will not accept a case series on multiple clients. Submissions of this type will not be scored by the reviewers.
SCHOOL AND SUPERVISOR ROLES Participating massage therapy programs and their student supervisors play a crucial role in the success of this contest. In order for the student to successfully participate, the school must commit to:
• Provide a supervised clinical component as part of the school’s program, in compliance with local jurisdictional requirements. • Provide a case report supervisor for each student entering the competition; this person may or may not be the student’s clinical supervisor. • Promote the competition within the school. • Create an in-house process for selecting the best three case reports produced by the school’s students. Each school can submit a maximum of three case reports to the Foundation’s case report contest review committee. The student authors of the reports must give the school permission to submit their work to the Foundation contest.
Faculty members assisting students participating in the scholarly contest may be involved in one of two roles, or may fulfill both simultaneously:
1. Clinical Supervisor (CS): This role involves collaborative management of the case with the student in accordance with generally accepted standards of practice. This function, being a standard component of the student’s clinical education, is related yet distinct from the case report contest. If the CS is not performing the role of case report supervisor, he or she must verify to the CRS that the student’s report is an accurate reflection of the student’s clinical experience with the client. 2. Case Report Supervisor (CRS): This role involves acting as a guide and resource as the student researches and writes the case report. Note that the report must be the student’s work, and that in providing support and direction the CRS should not unduly influence the work. The CRS must sign off on the final report, attesting to its being the work of the student and an accurate representation of the student’s activities in meeting the contest’s requirements.
Logistics of the case report • Students must conduct a minimum of five (5) massage therapy sessions with the participating client. • It is highly recommended that massage therapy be the only new intervention in the client’s treatment plan. • Patient confidentiality and the security of health information must be maintained. No personal identification of the student or client may be included in the report.
