Opportunity for Researchers from Low and Middle-Income Countries

The McDonald Fellowship 2025 supports researchers working on multiple sclerosis (MS) by offering them a chance to collaborate with international institutions. This program helps scholars from low- and middle-income countries gain hands-on experience at a research facility outside their home country.

Since travel restrictions have affected research opportunities, virtual or local projects are now an option. This flexibility allows researchers to develop skills and contribute to collaborative projects even without traveling.
