The National MS Society supports research projects dealing with psychosocial issues, management of symptoms, care and rehabilitation, bioengineering and other topics related to improving the quality of life for people with MS. The emphasis of proposals in these areas should be the development of new techniques or principles, rather than minor improvements of existing techniques. Depending on the scope of the proposed project, applicants for Patient Management, Care and Rehabilitation support should apply for either a Regular Research grant, a Pilot Research grant, or one of several training awards described in the policies and procedures.
Before submitting a proposal for research support, the investigator must consult the Research & Clinical Programs Department by phone or email to determine whether the research plan is appropriate and relevant to the mission of the Society.
