The MS International Federation, a unique global network of MS organizations, is funding research awards in the form of two-year fellowships. The fellowship enables young researchers from low and middle-income countries to work in a research institution outside their own country, with a view to return and establish a programme of MS research with their newly acquired skills.
Two years grant
– £30,000 GBP per year, to cover travel and living costs
– £2,000 GBP for the host institution, for lab expenses
Funded by the European Committee for Treatment and Research in MS (ECTRIMS) and The Fondation pour l’Aide à la Recherche sur la Sclérose En Plaques (ARSEP). Please ensure you carefully check the eligibility requirements before starting your application.
