The Clinician Scientist Development Award supports the training of outstanding post-residency clinicians committed to careers in academic medicine with an emphasis on MS clinical research. This program supports three years of research training in an environment where talented young clinicians address problems in multiple sclerosis with the most current scientific tools.
