SPECIAL CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

Epilepsy Canada is pleased to announce a special competition for a one-time only grant to be awarded in support of epilepsy research in a province of Western Canada.

The grant will be valued at $100,000 CDN and will be awarded to a researcher or team of researchers at a university or teaching hospital in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta or British Columbia.
