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 pounds and 166,000 pounds, the medical charities 173,000 pounds, and the epilepsy charity 84,000 pounds. This equates to between 0.90 pounds and 1.2 pounds per person with epilepsy in the UK per year, which compares unfavorably with funding for other conditions, and by international comparison. There is serious underfunding of epilepsy research in the UK.
这是一项对1987年至1989年期间（采用最新可得年度数据）主要医学慈善机构和医学研究理事会（MRC）为临床癫痫项目提供的年度研究资金的调查。医学研究理事会提供了7万至16.6万英镑，医学慈善机构提供了17.3万英镑，癫痫慈善机构提供了8.4万英镑。这相当于英国每年癫痫患者人均0.90至1.2英镑的资金，与其他疾病的资金相比以及与国际水平相比都处于劣势。英国癫痫研究的资金严重不足。
