In April, the MS Society of Canada approved more than $4.5 million to fund 13 research projects and a recordbreaking number of research scholarships to attract young scientists to the MS field. More than $2.6 million was awarded for 13 research projects, $300,000 for Dr. Donald Paty Career Development Awards, $594,500 for postdoctoral fellowships and $786,666 for studentships. “The research projects include the best in basic laboratory research that are targeted at finding ways to repair the damage in the brain and spinal cord that MS causes and in stopping MS attacks,” said Dr. William J. McIlroy, national medical advisor. “I am particularly pleased that we are funding more than 60 research scholarships. These awards are designed to both attract and then keep young researchers working to end MS. Our scholarship program has more than doubled in less than 10 years,” he added. The MS Society and the related MS Scientific Research Foundation are able to continue this level of funding commitment thanks to the ongoing support of individual donors, corporate partners and MS Society chapters.
