Cure LGS 365 Research Grants

Apply for an lGS Research Grant 365 days a year

The LGS Foundation accepts unsolicited grant proposals year-round to seed new basic, translational, and clinical research projects on Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS).

Funding may be provided for projects at the $25,000, $50,000, or $75,000 level. Researchers can choose projects on any novel topic in LGS, but must ensure that these topics are directly relevant to LGS, which is characterized by specific seizure types and hallmark EEG features.

The LGS Foundation’s priority areas for 2025 and moving forward are sleep, expressive communication, and EEG network evolution to LGS.

Please submit a short (up to two pages) letter of intent to research@lgsfoundation.org outlining your project, timeline, and a rough budget.

There are no deadlines for submission. Our Medical Science Advisory Council, Patient Family Advisory Council, and Ad-Hoc Scientific Reviewers will review proposals quickly. We will extend invitations to submit a full proposal within approximately 2-3 weeks.


Note: The LGS Foundation works very hard to review grants according to the review timeline above, but some things, such as the time it takes to find ad-hoc reviewers, reviewer travel, etc., are beyond our control. We will inform you if we think there is a delay with your application. Thank you.

Please contact us at research@lgsfoundation.org if you have any questions.
