Funding, News and Announcements

CDRD and the MS Society of Canada have issued a global call for research projects focused on the discovery and development of treatments for progressive Multiple Sclerosis (MS).

This is the third call in the ongoing partnership with the MS Society which is aimed at accelerating preclinical development of novel therapies for MS. To achieve this goal, the organizations are seeking pre-proposals from investigators who are working on research projects aimed at developing new disease-modifying therapies for progressive MS. Such therapies may include novel approaches to promote remyelination, repair existing damage and/or protecting neurons to positively impact the progressive forms of the disease.

More details are available on the website here. The pre-proposal template can be downloaded here (pdf).
