Multiple Sclerosis Centers of Excellence Research and Development

The Multiple Sclerosis Centers of Excellence (MSCoE) facilitate research to improve the understanding of MS among Veterans with MS. We advance forward the VA’s research mission by providing a structure and environment that facilitates MS laboratory, clinical, and epidemiologic and health services research. We also provide an environment for the incubation of ideas, and provide a structured network to advance research quickly. Our local and national multi-site trials enhance collaboration among VA medical facilities and increase the participation of Veterans in research activities. We also provide mentoring for VA Career Development Grants and National Institute of Health Awards.

MSCoE currently has over $18 million of research funding from various sources including the VA Rehabilitation Research and Development Service, National Institutes of Health, National MS Society, and private industry. In addition, MSCoE conducts several unfunded research and scholarly activities. To learn about MSCoE researchers and research, visit our VA MS Researchers page.
