Physician scientists (scientists with MDs, versus PhDs) are vital to research involving persons with MS. The National MS Society and American Academy of Neurology Foundation have joined to support training for young clinicians committed to careers in academic medicine with an emphasis on MS clinical research. The NMSS-AAN MS Clinician-Scientist Development Award supports 3 years of research training in an environment where talented young clinicians address problems in MS with the most current scientific tools.
Before submitting a proposal for fellowship support, the investigator must consult the NMSS Research & Clinical Programs Department or the AAN Foundation by phone or email to determine whether the research plan is appropriate and relevant to the mission of the Society and the AAN Foundation.
Deadline: August
