Research

As part of our ongoing commitment to encouraging and supporting research into epilepsy in Ireland, Brainwave launched our new Research Funding Scheme in October 2008.

A total of 14 applications for funding were received. After a rigorous evaluation process both by Brainwave's Research Peer Review Board and by over 40 other international experts, the three proposals that best meet the assessment criteria were selected. These were submitted to the Health Research Board (HRB) for joint funding under a scheme operated by the HRB and the Medical Research Charities Group (MRCG) of which Brainwave is a member.

Joint funding (50%) has been approved by the HRB for two of the projects and thanks to the fundraising efforts of the family and friends of the late Barbara Doyle, the third project can also be funded.

Find out more about these three important projects here.

Please note that new funding applications are not currently being considered. Please keep an eye on this section of the website for future updates.
