Patient-oriented research awards funded in brain imaging and physiology for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis in British Columbia
The
ME/FM Society of BC (myalgic encephalomyelitis and fibromyalgia) is pleased to announce the successful funding of two research projects aiming to apply neuroimaging and neurophysiological tools to help patients living with myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), also known as chronic fatigue syndrome.

Both research awards are funded and supported by
BC SUPPORT Unit Fraser Centre, an organization that promotes patient-oriented research (POR). Partnering in this way means that patients are part of the research teams and collaborate in the construction of the project from beginning to end, bringing a valuable perspective that may be missing in traditional research. These two projects have been initiated by patients involved with the ME/FM Society of BC and facilitated by the BC SUPPORT Unit Fraser Centre team.
