Epilepsy Action Strategic Research Plan 2010 - 2016

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.
