Contribute / Get Involved

Despite all available therapies, one third of those with epilepsy continue to have seizures. Many more suffer unacceptable side-effects from existing medications including fatigue, cognitive delays, and risks of birth defects. The Epilepsy Therapy Project is 100 percent dedicated to advancing new therapies. To invest your contributions effectively, we have assembled an outstanding staff and team of clinicians, researchers, and pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and finance industry advisors. These scientific and business advisory board members make funding decisions and provide support to advance the most promising new therapy projects. We also support www.epilepsy.com and professionals.epilepsy.com, leading interactive, informational sites for patients, physicians and researchers, major conferences on epilepsy therapy development, and the Epilepsy Study Consortium, a coalition of world-renown research centers dedicated to accelerating clinical trials of new treatments. We are working diligently to make a difference, but only your support will enable us to provide the significant funding needed to make new therapies for those with epilepsy a reality.
