The National Multiple Sclerosis Society has awarded Dr. Richard van Emmerik a 4 year grant in the amount of $474, 269 beginning October 1, 2007 to support research related to multiple sclerosis on "Dynamic balance control and fatigue in multiple sclerosis".

Since its founding in 1946, the Society has been at the core of virtually every new advancement in MS research, and Dr. van Emmerik's work is critical to their mission: to end the devastating effects of multiple sclerosis.

On behalf of the entire MS and University communities, we would like to thank Dr. van Emmerik for pursing such promising and important studies in the interest of all those who are living with multiple sclerosis.
