Capacity building for timely diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis and prevention of disability

Award to University of Southern California for a project focused on improving timely diagnosis and prevention of disability in Multiple Sclerosis through capacity building and research on genetic diversity and community perceptions.

Description

This project aims to build local capacity to prevent diagnostic delays in MS, understand perceptions and attitudes of MS in the community, and develop research capacity for the collection of non-medical drivers of health and genetic diversity. The project will characterize 200 patients with MS and their genetic variability, and identify barriers to improve future interventions.
