MISF Du Pré Grants for MS Researchers from Developing Countries 2022 Regarding the Award: Researchers from emerging nations can apply for Du Pré Grants, which will fund short visits to well-established MS research centers outside their home country, allowing them to learn from one another or to carry out portions of cooperative research projects. The goal is to promote cross-fertilization of abilities through joint research projects in order to achieve this. Stichting MS Research provides financial support for two of the annual awards (the Dutch MS Research Foundation).
