Some great quotes in this, in particular

To develop a resource for the study of ME/CFS with no explicit support from the community of beneficiaries would represent a significant risk of being unsuccessful or lacking purpose, and could also risk further deterioration of the relationship between patients and healthcare professionals.

Thanks. I don't think I'd have read this, based on just the title and abstract, but it was an easy read and did have some fun bits, eg:

Disagreements are no less relevant in ME/CFS research, in which research priorities and conducts have been challenged, and patients have been expressing great dissatisfaction with study conclusions, the lack of transparency, and the methodological rigour of some studies, as exemplified by the controversies and disagreements generated by the PACE-trial.

PS: It left me feeling like a fan of this group.

Donation page to support their efforts is http://cureme.lshtm.ac.uk/donate-to-cureme/ - the recent NIH grant (details here http://cureme.lshtm.ac.uk/major-announcement/) they received is for a specific study and isn't for ongoing costs, so anything extra they can get will be really useful.
