McDonald Fellowship

The McDonald Fellowship is an annual award made to young researchers from emerging countries. The Fellowship enables the recipient to work with the world’s leading researchers in MS with a view to returning to their own country to establish a programme of MS research that involves the application of the newly learned techniques.

In 2012, we encourage applications in the areas of symptom relief, rehabilitation and palliative care.
