About MSIF McDonald Fellowship

What is the McDonald Fellowship?

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.

Following the award, we expect applicants will be able to use the newly developed expertise and networks, continuing to undertake MS research and/or patient care in low- and middle-income countries.

Fellowship projects that focus on topics with clear benefits for people with MS in low- and middle-income countries will be prioritised.

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.

One Fellowship is awarded in partnership with ECTRIMS and is known as the MSIF-ECTRIMS McDonald Fellowship.

This Fellowship funds candidates undertaking their project in Host Institutions in Europe only.

Another Fellowship is awarded in partnership with MSIF’s member organisation, France Sclerose En Plaques (FranceSEP). This is known as the MSIF-FRANCESEP McDonald Fellowship.
