The 2020 MISF Du Pré Grants For Multiple Sclerosis Researchers is now open for application. The MSIF Du Pré Grant enables MS researchers and clinicians from low- and middle-income countries to make short visits (under six months) to established MS research centres, outside their own country.

During the visit, participants either gain expertise or carry out parts of joint research projects. This benefits care for people with MS and supports collaborative research. Following the award, applicants are expected to use the newly developed expertise and networks, and continue MS research and/or clinical practice in low- and middle-income countries.

Programme Details

Host Institutions: Institutions outside candidate’s home country.
Eligible Research Fields: Research proposal in an area relevant to multiple sclerosis.
Number of Awards: Not specified
Duration: 2 to 6 months.
Eligible countries: Open for citizens of a low or middle-income country (as defined by the World Bank).

MISF Du Pré Grants Benefits

Visits generally last between two and six months. Each grant is up to a maximum of £6,000 GBP, to cover the cost of travel and living expenses or to top up an existing grant to extend a visit.
