Funding organisation:

National Multiple Sclerosis Society USA

What?

The John Dystel Prize for Multiple Sclerosis Research is awarded jointly by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and the American Academy of Neurology (AAN).  The prize recognizes outstanding contributions to research in the understanding, treatment or prevention of multiple sclerosis. The prize recognizes significant and exciting work that has changed the way we think about MS. This prize is not meant to be a lifetime achievement award.

The award is made possible through a special contribution from the John Dystel Multiple Sclerosis Research Fund at the National MS Society. The late Society National Board member Oscar Dystel and his late wife Marion established this fund in 1994 in honor of their son John Jay, an attorney whose promising career was cut short by progressive disability from MS. John died of complications of the disease in June 2003.
