PERF®-CNS Bridge Grant Program

Pediatric Epilepsy Research Foundation®

The Pediatric Epilepsy Research Foundation® (PERF®) in partnership with the Child Neurology Society (CNS) offer the PERF®-CNS Bridge Grant Program to retain child neurology researchers. This program is designed to provide bridge funding to promising child neurology researchers who are applying for their first independent National Institutes of Health (NIH) or Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) research support. Through this grant mechanism, PERF® and CNS aim to assist investigators who have applied for their first NIH R01 or CIHR Operating/Project Grant support but were not funded.

This award is intended to retain investigators in child neurology clinical, translational, or basic research while they re-apply for NIH or CIHR funding.
