Ending MS will require a cadre of well-trained scientists engaged in MS-related research. The National MS Society’s Career Transition Fellowship addresses this need by fostering the development and productivity of young scientists who have potential to make significant contributions to MS research and help ensure the future and stability of MS research. The Career Transition Fellowship award provides approximately $550,000 across five years to support a two-year period of advanced postdoctoral training in MS research and the first three years of research support in a new faculty appointment.
The application process for this award involves two levels of review, preliminary and full applications. Applicants wishing to apply for a Career Transition Fellowship should contact the program officer listed below to receive permission to apply for this program.
Deadline: Preliminary Applications due Early March, Full Applications due the following August
