For early-career investigators to pursue innovative, non-invasive, and non-pharmacological research—potentially including alternative medicine—focused on integrative health and wellness approaches to manage epilepsy and improve quality of life. Projects may be preclinical or clinical, mechanistic or therapeutic, but must explore under-studied or emerging areas supported by preliminary evidence. Areas of interest include nutrition, cognition, behavior, emotion, activity, environment, and integrative health innovation.
