Applications for Multiple Sclerosis Investigator-Initiated Research
The National Multiple Sclerosis Society invites applications for investigator-initiated proposals to support research focused on addressing research questions highlighted in the Pathways to MS Cures Roadmap.
The roadmap includes three pathways stopping MS disease activity, restoring function by reversing damage and symptoms and ending MS by preventing new cases. Applicants must clearly state the relevance of their proposals to at least one of the research questions outlined in the Roadmap.
The society supports all types of research, including laboratory models, human studies, population-based approaches, and data-intensive investigations that leverage researcher and patient-reported outcomes. The society values studies that promote synergies between researchers in diverse disciplines, adhere to principles of sharing data and resources, and focus on underserved and understudied ethnic and racial MS populations.
To be eligible, applicants must possess an MD, PhD or equivalent and be considered eligible by their institution to apply for grant support.
Pre-applications are due July 13, 2022, at 5:00 p.m. ET. Upon review, selected applicants will be invited to submit a full application by July 20, 2022, at 5:00 p.m. ET.
For complete program guidelines and application instructions, see the National Multiple Sclerosis Society website.
