The MGNet Scholar Program from the Myasthenia Gravis Rare Disease Network (MGNet) supports individualized training and mentorship in one of two tracks, Clinical Research or Biomarker Development Research. The goal of the program is to prepare investigators to conduct clinical and translational research in myasthenia gravis (MG). Applicants must have a MD (or equivalent) or PhD clinical fellows, post-doctoral fellows, or are junior faculty.
The award provides 100,000 USD for 1 year, to support salary, research costs and didactics with potential for renewal. The program will provide an additional $3,000 to travel to MGNet sites to learn specific skills and/or to scientific meeting(s) to present the results of their research. Indirect costs are not supported.
