RESEARCH GRANTS

1	Multiple Sclerosis Australia (MSA) - Project Grants

The award of project grants is MSA's main avenue for the support of
research relevant to multiple sclerosis in universities, hospitals or
other recognised research institutions. Since these awards will normally
be made for a period of two years only, the purpose is primarily to
assist investigations in which considerable progress can be expected
over this or a shorter period.

2	Multiple Sclerosis Australia - Small and Seeding Grants

Applications are invited for small grants and seeding grants to 'seed'
the earliest stages of new research efforts. E.g. the application may be
for funding of a pilot study to be carried out before the project grant
application is submitted .The application must meet the normal criteria
for MS relevance, innovation, feasibility and merit. This scheme is
exempt from the University of Sydney Overheads charge. For more
