The National MS Society welcomes applications for support of mentors and institutions that provide training of postdoctoral fellows in MS research related to rehabilitation. This program provides support for a mentor-institution combination which is responsible for the recruitment, selection, and training of postdoctoral fellows to pursue a career in rehabilitation research applied to MS and similar disorders. The mentor should be an established and active researcher in MS or a related field. The mentor and fellow may come from a variety of different fields including medicine, physical, occupational, or speech therapy, psychology, rehabilitation engineering, nursing, or other fields. The research training may focus on fundamental as well as applied studies but must be relevant to both rehabilitation of individuals with MS and to the Society’s mission to bring us closer to a world free of MS.
Before submitting a proposal for fellowship support, the investigator must consult the Research and Clinical Programs Department by email or telephone to determine whether the training plan is appropriate and relevant to the mission of the Society.
Deadline: Early August
