Citizens United for Research in Epilepsy (CURE Epilepsy) is a parent-founded, research-focused nonprofit committed to finding a cure for epilepsy. It was founded in 1998.[3] It is based in Chicago, Illinois.

CURE Epilepsy invests in foundational science research to expand the understanding of the underlying mechanisms of epilepsy, with the end goal being the discovery of a cure. CURE Epilepsy has raised more than $100 million and funded over 300 epilepsy research projects.

Research funded by the organization has led to breakthroughs in the genetic diagnosis of epilepsy, potential treatments for infantile spasms, and a greater understanding of how to prevent sudden death in epilepsy, among other advances.[citation needed]
