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
- Information on charity funding opportunities
- Information on how to get involved in research for people with lived experience of ME
