Description
The endMS Doctoral Studentship Award provides opportunities for research training and broadening the scientific understanding of MS for students currently enrolled in a Doctoral level program. MS Canada (MSC) will support studentships aligned with our strategic plan. The strategic plan outlines four key impact goal areas:
- Advance Treatment and Care: Research that aims to advance treatment and care for people affected by MS (e.g. symptom management; diagnosis; developing new treatments and understanding their mechanisms, understanding and evaluating interventions to address mental health, wellness/self-care, and rehabilitation in people living with MS; innovations in the provision of health services, clinical care practices and models of care; and advances in healthcare delivery/policy).
- Enhance Well-being: Research that aims to understand how to enhance the well-being of people affected by MS within communities (e.g. understanding the social determinants of health; assessing the health economics/cost benefit analysis on MS interventions and support structures and systems; evaluation of community-based programs; and advances in health systems research/policy).
- Understand and Halt Disease Progression: Research that aims to understand the etiology and mechanisms of MS, disease progression, progressive MS, and repair (e.g., myelin biology, neurobiology, neurophysiology, immunology, neuropathology, and imaging).
- Prevent MS: Research that aims to prevent MS (e.g., identifying new risk factors for disease, understanding the mechanisms of risk factors leading to disease including interactions and timing, developing risk assessment and screening tools for MS, understanding preclinical/prodromal MS, identifying biomarkers from initial immune dysfunction to clinical presentation, developing effective interventions for modifiable lifestyle risk factors, health economic/cost benefit analysis on prevention, and defining highest risk populations).
