MSIF MCDONALD FELLOWSHIPS

Leave a comment

Application Opens: 1 July 2025, Deadline: 1 December 2025

LOCATION: United Kingdom

MSIF’s McDonald Fellowships fund 2-year research placements for early career researchers from low- and middle-income countries. 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 that started within the six months prior to application.

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

Those who previously have held a Du Pré grant are eligible to subsequently apply for a McDonald Fellowship, but not the other way round.

Candidates are expected to return to their own countries at the end of the study period where they will contribute to advancing care and research in MS.

The McDonald fellowship may also be used to partially fund a PhD programme, where the candidate has already been accepted for the PhD programme in a recognised institute (within the six months prior to application) but who doesn’t have enough funding to cover the total cost.

If successful, candidates and Host supervisors will be required to read and sign the Terms and Conditions of the award.

The McDonald Fellowship should start within 12 months of being awarded the funding.

For more information, please contact our research team using the contact us form, selecting “Research grants and awards”.

BENEFIT:

The fellowship payment is a two-year grant, consisting of 55,000 EUR per year, paid to the host institution and then used to pay the fellow.
