Application Deadline: 30 June 2024

LOCATION: United Kingdom

Applications for the McDonald Fellowships are now open. The McDonald Fellowship enables early career multiple sclerosis researchers from low- and middle-income countries to work in a research institution outside of their own country. During the visit, participants either gain expertise or carry out parts of joint research projects.

ELIGIBILITY:

All candidates must:

Be educated to post graduate level (at least MSc, preferably PhD/MD) in an area relevant to multiple sclerosis.

Be citizens of a low- or middle-income country (all countries with a low, lower middle or upper middle income as defined by the World Bank)

Focus their research in an area relevant to multiple sclerosis.

Candidates must also be in one of the following situations:

Working or studying in a low- or middle-income country (all countries with a low, lower middle or upper middle income as defined by the World Bank) at the time of application.

Working or studying in another country on a project which started within the six months prior to application.

Studying in another country on a Du Pré grant project supported MSIF.

BENEFIT:

The fellowship consists of a two-year grant, around £30,000 GBP per year, to cover travel and living costs, and an additional contribution of £2,000 GBP per year to the host institution. We expect that part of the second-year grant to the host institution will be used to cover the candidate’s expenses to attend the annual congress of ECTRIMS, the European Committee for Treatment and Research in MS.
