M.E. Support

"The CureME team at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine is excited to announce that it is collaborating with the UK CFS/ME Research Collaborative (CMRC), to submit a research proposal on ME/CFS to the Medical Research Council (MRC) and the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR). The CureME team is a critical partner in this informed and competitive submission, and is focusing at this early stage on developing the research proposal and ensuring the accurate categorisation of people with ME/CFS, using diagnostic criteria harmonised with our own protocols and with the US Centers of Excellence for ME/CFS (NIH funded). We will also continue our own research within the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, supporting transparent, multidisciplinary research informed by and for the benefit of people with ME/CFS. We are confident that this collaboration will help to accelerate much-needed research in this field, enabling further biomedical studies into well-defined ME/CFS."

The full statement about this joint proposal can be read on CureME. The ME Association has also published an informative article about this initiative.
