The AIMS Research Network will provide talented undergraduate students with the opportunity to acquire experience in multiple sclerosis (MS) research during the summer of 2024. The aim of the award is to encourage promising undergraduates to consider a research career focused on MS and make discoveries that can ultimately halt disease.
