National Multiple Sclerosis Society: Career Transition Fellowship
Deadline: Pre-applications due May 10, 2024
Category: Multiple Sclerosis; Fellowship,
The National Multiple Sclerosis Society has a vision of a world free of MS, with focused efforts so that people affected by MS can live their best lives as we stop MS in its tracks, restore what has been lost, and end MS forever.
The society invites applications for its Career Transition Fellowship program, which targets current postdoctoral trainees who demonstrate both commitment and exceptional potential to conduct MS-related research. The award provides approximately $600,000 over five years to support a two-year period of advanced postdoctoral training in MS research and the first three years of research support in a new faculty appointment.
To be eligible, applicants must hold a doctoral degree (MD, PhD, or equivalent) and be in a research-oriented postdoctoral training program at an academic, government, or nonprofit research institution. Applicants must have more than two years of postdoctoral research experience and no more than five years of postdoctoral research experience at the time of application. Clinically related training periods such as medical residencies or sub-specialty fellowships will not be counted toward postdoctoral research experience.
