ICARE Epilepsy Research Portfolio Analysis
ICARE meeting April 13, 2015
![Page 2: ICARE Epilepsy Research Portfolio Analysis...The ICARE Epilepsy portfolio analysis working group Jan Buelow, EF David Eckstein, NCATS, NIH Margaret Jacobs, AES Mary Anne Meskis, Dravet](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042412/5f2b60e2f305052e59227e88/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Goals for a comprehensive analysis
• to better inform the ICARE group and interested public about the fundinglandscape for epilepsy research
• to assess progress being made against the epilepsy research priorities asdefined by the 2014 NINDS Benchmarks and the recommendations from the 2012 IOM report “Epilepsy Across the Spectrum”.
• to help guide future funding priorities by highlighting current gaps andopportunities in epilepsy research
![Page 3: ICARE Epilepsy Research Portfolio Analysis...The ICARE Epilepsy portfolio analysis working group Jan Buelow, EF David Eckstein, NCATS, NIH Margaret Jacobs, AES Mary Anne Meskis, Dravet](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042412/5f2b60e2f305052e59227e88/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Analysis Design
• A working group was established to set the goals and design of the analysis
• Data was collected in four different areas:1. Award Information
project, investigator(s), award type and amount 2. Award Research Categories
research classification, type, and epilepsy type 3. NINDS 2014 Benchmark Areas4. IOM 2012 Recommendations
• All ICARE member organizations categorized their funded epilepsyresearch according to the four areas.
• Data contributed by: NIH, CDC, VA, PCORI, CURE, TS Alliance, AES, EF, andELC (Dravet Syndrome Foundation, Phelan-McDermid Syndrome Foundation and PCDH19 Alliance).

1) Epilepsy research funding spans a range of organizations with different missions and funding capacity
2) Federal funding significantly outpaces nonprofit research funding
3) Funding from federal sources is highly concentrated at NIH
4) Limited Support for structured training in epilepsy research; is this sufficient?
5) Epilepsy research funding is unevenly distributed among the Epilepsy Benchmark priorities
6) Epilepsy research funding for IOM Research Recommendations is very limited.
Conclusions from 2013 Funding Data
