The MS Society supports research in the field of MS in order to improve understanding of the causes and development of the disease, to further develop treatment options, and to improve quality of life for people with MS and their families.
MS Society Research Grant Applications

If you are interested, please contact Viktor von Wyl for the MS Registry Jens Kuhle for the Cohort Study.
