The MND Association supports biomedical research on Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and related conditions, in all relevant disciplines. As described in the Association’s Research Strategy, the objectives of the MND Association research funding programme are to support research aimed at understanding the causes of MND, elucidating disease mechanisms and facilitating the translation of therapeutic strategies from the laboratory to the clinic. Additionally, we aim to attract scientists into MND research and provide support for career development, as shown by our provision of studentship grants. We now invite post-doctoral scientists with relevant experience who are ready to lead a research project as Principal Investigator, to apply for an MND Association Non-Clinical Fellowship Award
These awards will be open to scientists across a range of disciplines, excluding those with a medical qualification. The award may only be held at a university or other bona-fide research institute in the UK and Ireland – the host institute.
Junior Non-Clinical Fellowship: These are aimed at individuals who will have 2 – 6 years post-doctoral experience at the time of commencement of the grant. The Association may accept applications from exceptional candidates in the final year of their PhD, but such applicants should consult the Association for advice prior to submitting their summary application.
Senior Non-Clinical Fellowship: These are aimed at individuals who will have 4 – 10 years post-doctoral experience at the time of commencement of the grant. The application should be for a term of between 36 and 48 months
