The Program for the McDonald Fellowships Fund MS International Federation, which allow early-career multiple sclerosis researchers from low- and middle-income nations to work in a research institution outside of their home country, are currently accepting applications. Participants either pick up new skills or complete portions of collaborative research projects during the visit. A grant of about £30,000 each year, covering living and travel expenses, is awarded as part of the fellowship for two years. In addition, the host institution will receive an annual contribution of £2,000. The candidate’s expenses to attend the annual conference of ECTRIMS, the European Committee for Treatment and Research in MS, are anticipated to be partially funded by the second-year award to the host institution.
