Multiple sclerosis - NMSS Pilot Research Grants 2014-4 ($ 40,000)

The National Multiple Sclerosis Society (NMSS) invites applications for its Pilot Research Grants. Upcoming deadline is October 1, 2014. The Society funds high-risk pilot grants to quickly test novel ideas in MS Research. Funding is provided to test innovative, cutting-edge ideas or untested methods and gather sufficient preliminary data to apply for longer-term funding. Support for projects is up to $ 40,000 in direct costs for one year.

NMSS welcomes applications for studies related to multiple sclerosis that may serve to advance the mission of stopping MS progression, restoring function and improving quality of life, and preventing MS. The Society supports fundamental as well as applied studies, non-clinical or clinical in nature, including projects in patient management, care and rehabilitation.
