The McDonald Fellowship

Oranisation Overview

The McDonald Fellowship enables early career multiple sclerosis researchers from low- and middle-income countries to work in a a 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.

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 return flight to the host country will also be covered by the Fellowship.

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

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
