Targeted Request for Applications

Targeted Funding Opportunity:

The National MS Society is pleased to announce the opening of a request for applications (RFA). This opportunity will be administered through the FIRST-MS initiative. By supporting the development of innovative risk identification and screening technologies, FIRST-MS (Faster Identification, Recognition, and Screening for Timely MS Diagnosis) aims to enable earlier diagnosis, thereby shortening time to treatment, and improving long-term outcomes for people with MS.

This funding opportunity seeks innovative screening technologies that can identify individuals likely to have MS within populations already enriched for MS risk. The goal of this global initiative is to support development and validation of scalable, clinically practical, and economical screening approaches that can be used across a wide variety of healthcare settings (e.g., primary care, specialty care, or community-based settings). Successful technologies will improve the identification of individuals who should undergo comprehensive neurological evaluation for MS, ultimately accelerating time to diagnosis.

Up to 10 recipients will be awarded Planning Grants with up to $25,000 over 3 months.
