# Epilepsy Research Training Program

## Abstract

Summary:
We propose to renew our 20-year-old UCI Training Program in Epilepsy Research which supports a total of
four predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees. Epilepsy is the third most common brain disorder, and one that
affects the young preferentially, with a tremendous loss of human potential. Surprisingly, Epilepsy is relatively
understudied guide and develop the next cohorts of diverse, outstanding trainees and provide them with state-
of the art conceptual, technical, quantitative and scientific rigor approaches to the understanding and
underfunded; thus, there is a major unmet need to encourage and train the new generation of the Epilepsy
Investigator Workforce. Our program has strived and succeeded in shepherding a robust and diverse cadre of
pre- and postdoctoral trainees who are now engaging in Epilepsy and Neuroscience Research and Education,
the majority in Academia and Industry. We now propose to of Epilepsy and its co-morbidities, as well as
professional skills for their career development. Our progress to date and the current proposal demonstrate
that we have the experience, environment, resources and passion to accomplish these goals.
