Every year the MS International Federation, a unique global network that brings together the work of MS organisations to help people affected by MS around the world, offers a number of McDonald Fellowships to young researchers from emerging countries. The fellowship can be used to finance your stay at a research institution, to work with leading researchers in the field of MS, or as a travel grant for training. At the end of your fellowship you are expected to return to your home country and establish a program of MS research that involves the application of the newly learned techniques.
Before nomination, you need to identify a suitable project and discuss your involvement with the project supervisor of the institution.
The fellowship consists of a two-year grant that provides:
- around UK £30,000 per year, to cover travel and living costs
- an additional contribution of UK £2,000 per year to the host institution
Part of the second-year grant to the host institution will be used to cover the expenses of the candidate attending the annual congress of the European Committee for Treatment and Research in MS
