Annual Funding Opportunities

MS Australia offers a range of grants, fellowships and scholarships to support research into finding better treatments and a cure for MS. Although eligibility requirements and conditions differ between awards, all applications must have a direct link to advancing our knowledge of MS.

For further information, application forms and eligibility criteria for each grant type please click on the hyperlinks below. Note: to be eligible for NHMRC funding, or for MS Australia-NHMRC co-funding, you must also submit a separate application to the NHMRC (see below for further information and here for NHMRC closing dates).

Please note application rules

  • All grant applications to MS Australia must be submitted through our Online Grant Portal system. A unique grant application number will automatically be generated upon commencing the application process.
  • Applicants may only be named on three applications within any one grant year and only once as the CIA (the only exception to this rule is the Targeted Call Grant).
  • Maximum funding limits have been set for grants and stipends. See specific award conditions.
