 opment Award supports the initial exploration of innovative\, high-risk\, 
 high-gain\, and potentially groundbreaking concepts in the MS research fie
 ld. The studies supported by this award mechanism are expected to lay the 
 groundwork for future avenues of scientific investigation. The proposed re
 search project should include a well-formulated\, testable hypothesis base
 d on strong scientific rationale and study design. The proposed research p
 roject should be innovative. Innovative research may examine a novel parad
 igm\, challenge current paradigms\, look at existing problems from novel p
 erspectives\, or exhibit other highly creative qualities.\n \nAll applica
