Grant Description
Fellowships to USA researchers to conduct research studies related to multiple sclerosis. Applicants are required to submit a pre-application prior to submission of the full proposal. Selected fellows are postdoctoral trainees who aim to contribute to significant research in the field. Funding is intended to support two years of advanced training in MS-related research and the first three years of research support in a new faculty appointment.

Finding a way to stop MS, restore function and end MS forever will require a cadre of well-trained scientists engaged in MS-related research. The Society’s Career Transition Fellowship addresses this need by fostering the development and productivity of young scientists who have the potential to make significant contributions to MS research and help ensure the future and stability of MS research. The Career Transition Fellowship targets current postdoctoral trainees who demonstrate both commitment and exceptional potential to conduct MS-related research.
