In collaboration with the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) and American Brain Foundation (ABF), the MdDS Foundation is funding a Clinical Research Training Scholarship focused on MdDS. The two-year award totaling $150,000 aims to recognize the importance of good clinical research and to encourage early career investigators in clinical studies on Mal de Débarquement Syndrome and Central Vestibular Neurological Disorders. Applications must be submitted by September 9. Details and the application for the research program scholarship is available on the AAN website.
While the AAN and ABF are implementing targeted outreach to solicit applications, we need your help in spreading the word! Please share this email with the offices and clinics of your health care providers. This is especially important if they are associated with an academic (university) program. Ask your health care professionals to help in our search for early career investigators who might be interested. Finding the cure for MdDS depends on it, and you!
I was diagnosed with MdDS in 2017. I live in Houston, TX. Would love to find support groups!
Hi, LeClaire! I was diagnosed with MdDS in 2020. I’m in the Los Angeles area. Facebook has an amazing group that you can join where you can receive support, information and encouragement from others who suffer from this horrible condition. The group’s name is Mal de Debarquement Syndrome-MdDS Friends. Everyone is kind and understanding and it has helped me through some anxious times in dealing with the symptoms. Best of luck!
