Description
The MSIF-ECTRIMS McDonald Fellowship is a joint programme of the Multiple Sclerosis International Federation (MSIF) and ECTRIMS. It enables early-career multiple sclerosis (MS) researchers from low- and middle-income countries to spend two years at a European research institution, gaining expertise or carrying out joint research projects. One McDonald Fellowship is awarded in partnership with ECTRIMS, specifically for projects hosted in Europe.
The programme aims to help fellows develop expertise and networks they can subsequently use in MS research and/or patient care in low- and middle-income countries. Projects with clear benefits for people with MS in these countries are prioritised. The awardee is also invited to attend the annual ECTRIMS congress.
