A new toolkit designed to help enhance research into Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) through funding has been made available for download with the support of the Chief Scientist Office (CSO) After the establishment of a UK Clinical Research Collaboration (UKCRC) working group on ME/CFS, government funders of research in this area, academic researchers, persons with lived experience of ME/CFS and carers came together to develop the researcher toolkit [PDF document]. .... However, the [Priority Setting] Partnership – run by a steering group that represents many different organisations involved in ME/CFS advocacy, care and research – now believes the toolkit could help to kickstart progress by signposting resources to support the development of high-quality funding applications. The toolkit illustrates existing funding streams for ME/CFS research, setting out: UK government research funding opportunities Support that is available for researchers to help with their applications Guides to embedding patient and public involvement Resources on developing high quality proposals The toolkit section of the Partnership website further offers: Information on charity funding opportunities Information on how to get involved in research for people with lived experience of ME https://www.nhsresearchscotland.org...-cfs-researchers-target-funding-opportunities
