Find a cure. Find it here. By underwriting fellowships and research projects at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, we support cutting-edge work that will make a significant difference for people who live with epilepsy.

Grace Grants fund specific research carried out by individuals, cross-disciplinary teams, or entire departments/labs. These $100,000 grants are named in honor of another teenage girl who lives with epilepsy. Grace is tenacious, determined and creative, just like our scientists. Learn more about this research.

In partnership with the UW Foundation, Lily’s Fund proudly supports UW-Madison teaching, research, and public service.
