Pilot research grants

(THIS INVESTIGATOR-INITIATED PILOT RESEARCH PROGRAM IS CURRENTLY ON HOLD)

The Society funds high-risk pilot grants to researchers who have completed their postdoctoral training to quickly test novel ideas. Funding is provided for one year to test innovative, cutting-edge ideas or untested methods, and to gather sufficient preliminary data to apply for longer-term funding. We welcome proposals for research relevant to our Research Priorities.

Researchers who have completed their post-doctoral training, and who are considered eligible by their institutions to apply for a research grant, are invited to apply. Individuals who are currently postdoctoral fellows or the equivalent, or who are graduate/medical students or residents, are not eligible for support under this program. Applicants are not eligible to apply if they have an existing National MS Society pilot research award that expires later than the application deadline.

In order to submit a proposal for research support, investigators must first register with our Apply Online site (https://nmss.fluxx.io/) and complete a pre-application. Staff will review the pre-application to determine whether the research plan is appropriate and relevant to our goals. All pilot applications must be submitted through the online application site (https://nmss.fluxx.io/).
