Executive Summary
- The strategic plan explains how Epilepsy Action will “promote and undertake non-laboratory social and medical research into epilepsy” during the period 2010 to 2016.
- Epilepsy Action will maximise the impact of its limited resources and will focus on areas of non-laboratory research covering the medical, social, psychological and educational fields.
- Epilepsy Action has five priorities for its research. These are:
- Psychosocial research into epilepsy
- Applied clinical research into epilepsy
- Involving people with epilepsy and their carers in research
- Research into the causes and cures of epilepsy
- Raising money for research and raising awareness
- The strategy’s research programme will include a mix of the following:
- Research project awards
- PhD Studentships
- Postgraduate research bursaries and travel bursaries
- Small grants programme
- Prizes
- The delivery of this strategy will be supported by an annual business plan and other operational plans covering finance, fundraising and communications.
- The strategy will be implemented by staff with oversight and evaluation by the Research Committee which will report to the Council of Management.
