About multiple sclerosis grants

Multiple sclerosis grants fund research toward treatments and cures as well as programs and services for people living with MS. The National Multiple Sclerosis Society is the world's largest nonprofit funder of MS research and also supports services, professional education, and advocacy, with additional federal research funding through NIH. Grants range from pilot and fellowship awards to multi-year research projects and care-focused programs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What grants are available for multiple sclerosis work?

Funding supports MS research, training fellowships and early-career awards, pilot studies, collaborative research centers, and programs focused on patient care, health-care delivery, and policy. The National MS Society funds research aligned with its Pathways to Cures initiative, which aims to stop MS progression, restore function, and prevent the disease, and offers funding opportunities across all of these areas.

Who funds multiple sclerosis research and programs?

The National Multiple Sclerosis Society funds more MS research, services, and advocacy than any other MS organization in the world, investing millions annually in new grants and fellowships through its national network. NIH provides additional federal research funding. The Society's network of chapters also supports services and programs for people living with MS across the country.

What are the eligibility requirements for MS research grants?

Research grants from the National MS Society generally require the principal investigator to hold an M.D., Ph.D., or equivalent and are subject to defined budget limits over multi-year periods, so they typically suit established investigators at research institutions. Training fellowships and early-career awards exist for those earlier in their careers. Organizations seeking program rather than research funding should look to the Society's services and care-focused opportunities.
