The Barancik Prize for Innovation in Multiple Sclerosis Research recognizes exceptional scientists whose work in the field of MS research demonstrates outstanding innovation and originality.
Administered by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and made possible by Charles and Margery Barancik Foundation, this annual international prize awards $100,000 to a scientist or team to be used at the discretion of the recipient.
This year, the National MS Society celebrates 10 years of innovative research honored and accelerated by the Barancik Prize. To mark the milestone, several several past recipients shared their thoughts about the award and why it matters:
The belief that one creative and driven individual can accelerate a world free of MS gave rise to the Barancik Prize. Congratulations — and thank you — to these innovators and risk-takers who are discovering pathways to new treatments and ultimately a cure for MS!
