National MS Society: Outside Meeting Support Grant

The National Multiple Sclerosis Society offers Outside Meeting Support to facilitate communication and data sharing among researchers. This program funds modest grants for meetings, workshops, and conferences relevant to multiple sclerosis research. The Society emphasizes the importance of proposals that align with its Pathways to Cures Roadmap, promoting diverse studies that can lead to significant advancements in MS treatment and understanding for affected individuals.

National Multiple Sclerosis Society
The National Multiple Sclerosis Society is bringing the world together to cure MS for every single person — as fast as possible. The Pathways to Cures Roadmap will drive progress by increasing alignment and focus of global resources on high-priority research questions.
Our research awards align with the three Pathways outlined in the Roadmap:

• STOPPING MSRESTORING functionENDING MS by prevention
• MS research is a high priority for the Society, and we strategically invest in research worldwide to drive solutions for every single person with MS.
• Applicants must clearly state the relevance of their proposals to at least one of the research questions outlined in the Roadmap.

The Society supports all types of research including laboratory models, human studies, population-based approaches, and data-intensive investigations that leverage both researcher and patient-reported outcomes.
