Waterloo Foundation: Research in Child Development (short initial applications)

Rolandic Epilepsy

Studies focusing on:

1. the profile of on-going deficits in adulthood; or
2. whether severity in childhood is related to adult outcomes; or
3. or the co-occurrence of Rolandic Epilepsy with other neurodevelopmental disorders

would be particularly welcomed.

ADHD

Studies will be particularly welcomed that cover one of two areas:

1. improving our understanding of the aetiology of the disorder (this could include brain imaging, improved phenotyping, genetic or epigenetic studies). Inclusion of EEG measures and consideration of possible co-occurrence with Rolandic Epilepsy is particularly desirable and, as always, studies that consider co-occurrence with other neurodevelopmental disorders; or
2. explore effective interventions (those that also include links to our other research interests would be particularly welcomed, for example sleep, diet, exercise/movement).

Funding: between £40,000 and £60,000 per research project (No overhead)
