CURE Epilepsy is the leading non-governmental organization in funding breakthrough epilepsy research that will transform the lives of people living with epilepsy as we search for a cure. 

Epilepsy affects more people than multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, Parkinson’s disease, and ALS combined. Yet, despite its prevalence, epilepsy receives less federal funding per person compared to these other brain disorders, which leads to critical gaps in research.

There is an urgent need to unravel the complexity of epilepsy, accelerate research and fill funding gaps, and develop therapies so that all those with epilepsy are able to achieve seizure freedom until we find cures.
