Msif Du Pre Grant for MS Researchers and Clinicians From Low- and Middle-income Countries
Msif Du Pre Grant for MS Researchers and Clinicians From Low- and Middle-income Countries
The MSIF Du Pré Grant enables multiple sclerosis researchers and clinicians from low- and middle-income countries to make short visits (up to six months) to established MS research centres, outside of their own country. *For 2022 we are open to applications for virtual or local projects to overcome the travel restrictions imposed by COVID-19.
During the visit or virtual project, participants either gain expertise or carry out parts of joint research projects. This benefits care for people with MS and supports collaborative research. Following the award, we expect applicants to use the newly developed expertise and networks, and continue MS research and/or clinical practice in low- and middle-income countries.
Visits may last between two and six months. Each grant is up to a maximum of £6,000 GBP, to cover the cost of travel and living expenses or to top up an existing grant to extend a visit. *For 2022 we are more flexible on the use of funds if virtual or local projects are proposed, but this must be agreed upon in the project proposal.
Eligibility Requirements
All candidates must:
Be educated to post graduate level (at least MSc, but preferably PhD/MD) in an area relevant to multiple sclerosis (MS)
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 proposal 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 nomination.
Working or studying in another country on a project which started within the six months prior to nomination.
Studying in another country on a project supported by an MS International Federation grant.
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. A strong plan of how to continue one’s work after the award has ended is recommended.
