Advancing discovery. Empowering careers. Transforming care for women with epilepsy.

The Kimford J. Meador Research in Women with Epilepsy Award champions the next generation of clinician-scientists whose work is shaping a better future for women living with epilepsy. This award honors early-career researchers who have already made meaningful contributions to understanding the unique challenges faced by women with epilepsy—and who show exceptional promise to drive innovation in care, research, and advocacy.

By investing in these rising leaders, the initiative accelerates scientific discovery, fosters groundbreaking research, and helps translate knowledge into compassionate, evidence-based care. Each awardee carries forward a commitment to improving health outcomes, quality of life, and equity in epilepsy care for women across all stages of life.

Together, we honor Dr. Kimford J. Meador’s legacy by empowering bold ideas, supporting emerging talent, and advancing a future where every woman with epilepsy receives the care and understanding she deserves.
