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.

Organizations seeking program rather than research funding should look to the Society's services and care-focused opportunities.
