Jenny og Mikkjel Gjerdes Legat appears to be a targeted Norwegian fund supporting people affected by multiple sclerosis (MS), with a clear emphasis on practical assistance in daily life and on research that can improve outcomes for those living with the disease. Its main funding vehicle is an annual MS research allocation through MS-forbundets forskningsfond, supporting Norwegian projects focused on treatment, rehabilitation, quality of life, and related biomedical research. The funder is distinctive for combining disease-specific research support with a strong patient-centered lens, especially initiatives that improve everyday functioning for people with MS.
Annual, program-based grantmaking with a defined application deadline and a pooled distribution model; funds are split across multiple Norwegian MS research projects, with total annual support typically around 1.5 million NOK.
Monitor MS-forbundets annual call closely and apply by the published deadline (for example, late February); proposals should be Norway-based and clearly show how the project advances MS treatment, rehabilitation, quality of life, biomarkers, or practical support for people living with MS.
