description This is a survey of annual research funding for clinical epilepsy projects from major medical charities and the MRC from 1987 to 1989 (taking the latest available annual figures). The MRC provided between £70,000 and £166,000, the medical charities £173,000, and the epilepsy charity £84,000. This equates to between £0.90 and £1.2 per person with epilepsy in the UK per year, which compares unfavourably with funding for other conditions, and by international comparison. There is serious underfunding of epilepsy research in the UK.
