2. REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP) RFPs are born out of CURE Epilepsy’s Strategic Vision and outline the research topic areas and requirements for the grant year. LOIs are short letters from potential CURE Epilepsy grantees that succinctly and clearly describe their proposed research project and its relevance to CURE Epilepsy’s mission.
LOIs are reviewed and scored by the Research Team and scientific peers by criteria outlined in the RFPs. Applicants whose LOIs are invited will submit full grant proposals that contain detailed scientific and budget information for the proposed CURE Epilepsy project. Each full grant proposal is reviewed by three external scientific reviewers and a person with lived experience of epilepsy.
People with lived experience ensure that the stakeholder point of view is critically represented in the grant review process. Scientific reviewers are assembled for each grant mechanism and each grant review cycle. Applications are then discussed amongst the reviewers and CURE Epilepsy Research Team and scored.
7. RESEARCH COMMITTEE REVIEW Applications are discussed with the CURE Epilepsy Research Committee, which is made up of CURE Epilepsy Board members and volunteers, to ensure alignment with CURE Epilepsy’s mission. Funding recommendations are then developed and presented to the CURE Epilepsy Board of Directors.
8. BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVAL The CURE Epilepsy Board of Directors has final approval of all grants that are funded by CURE Epilepsy each cycle.
