Fully Funded : Apply for the 2024 MSIF-McDonald Fellowships Programme

Through the McDonald Fellowship, early-career researchers on multiple sclerosis from low- and middle-income nations can work abroad at a research facility. While there, participants either learn new skills or finish off sections of joint research projects.

They hope that by applying their newly gained networks and expertise, prize recipients would be able to carry out their MS research and/or patient care in low- and middle-income countries.

In partnership with ECTRIMS, one fellowship is awarded, the MSIF-ECTRIMS McDonald Fellowship. Another fellowship is awarded in association with MSIF member ARSEP, The Fondation pour l'Aide à la Recherche sur la Sclérose En Plaques. This initiative is known as the MSIF-ARSEP McDonald Fellowship.

Don't miss out the application deadline which is on a rolling basis.
