GRANTS & AWARDS
Educational Grants
A limited number of educational grants will be awarded to Young Investigators whose highly-rated abstracts are accepted for oral or poster presentation.
Young investigators are defined as those who are aged 35 or younger and for interrupted study time due to maternity/caring parents or other justified time off the clock.
Educational grants are available to onsite participants only. Recipients will receive complimentary registration and travel support for MSToronto2026. Grant funds will be distributed after the conclusion of the meeting.

Prepare this document in one of the following formats: BMP, GIF, JPG or PDF files (size limit 1 MB). Applications without passport copy or arriving after the submission deadline will not be considered.
Grant recipients will be notified in July 2026, following notification of abstract acceptance.
