What the grant funds

The ERP seeks to advance PTE research through development of early-career investigators and investigators new to the PTE field. The ERP Virtual Post-Traumatic Epilepsy Research Center (Virtual P-TERC) is a unique, interactive virtual research center providing intensive mentoring, national networking, collaborations, and a peer group for new PTE investigators. The overarching goal of the Virtual P-TERC is to develop successful, highly productive PTE researchers in a collaborative research and career development environment to enhance quality and expand quantity of the PTE research field. The Virtual P-TERC is a multi-institutional career development and research training platform that consists of Faculty and their Career Guides (primary mentors), and is managed by a Director and Deputy Director. The Virtual P-TERC Leadership (the Director and the Deputy Director) serve as a resource for the Faculty and Career Guides, assessing the progress of Faculty, and facilitating communication and collaboration among all of the Faculty and Career Guides, as well as with national research societies and representatives from the community with lived PTE experience. In addition to fostering scientific development, the Virtual P-TERC, through its Leadership, provides for professional and leadership development of the Faculty to include skills and competencies needed to fund and manage a productive PTE research laboratory. This FY22 program announcement is soliciting Faculty members to join the Virtual P-TERC. Under this award mechanism, the application should focus on BOTH the Faculty member’s research and career development. This award allows the Faculty member (the investigator named as the Principal Investigator [PI] on the application) to pursue an impactful research project with an emphasis on discovery that investigates questions across the PTE research spectrum (Biology/Etiology, Prevention, Diagnosis/Detection, Prognosis, Treatment, and Quality of Life). Applications should address at least one of the FY22 ERP Focus Areas or provide a strong justification as to why the alternative topic is critical to advance understanding of PTE and addresses the ERP mission. This research must be performed under the guidance of a Career Guide. The Career Guide is not required to be at the same institution as the Faculty member.
