Grant Awards 2020
Profiles of the new research projects selected by our Scientific Advisory Committee. This year we received over 70 high quality applications, and after a rigorous review process we awarded two Fellowships, four project grants, three pilot studies, and our first ever Céline Newman Bursary. Quite simply, this research would not take place without your support.

Final Reports 
At the other end of research funding is the final report, which is submitted by grant holders upon completion of their ERUK grant. In this issue we outline four now completed ERUK projects which investigated the causes, diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy. In some of the investigations the results were not as expected. But sharing the research outcomes makes a valuable contribution to our growing scientific and clinical understanding of epilepsy and other neurological conditions.  

Introducing Virtual Fundraising 
As the coronavirus pandemic reduces the options for fundraising activities we’ve launched a range of new virtual fundraising opportunities you can do from the safety of your own home.  Whether you prefer your fundraising to be physically challenging or slightly more sedate, there’s a way to do it virtually. Get creative, connect online and continue supporting vital research into epilepsy wherever you are. 

Fundraisers in action
Life before lockdown saw #TeamERUK taking on sporting events and challenges, with groups all over the UK pulling together to support research into epilepsy. Thank you to everyone who has donated, run, climbed and cycled for your continued commitment to our cause.
