    It sounds like something similar the OMF Melbourne study is doing - although not to the length and extent you propose.

    In the late 1990s, I gave lots of blood to be studied like this at the Hunter Hopkins Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. Dr. Chales Lapp was unable to find anything that pointed to my improvement. I hope 20 years later the OMF is able to find some clues.

    Replication. In a way, the ME research field has it's own replication crisis, in that there are rarely attempts to independently replicate anything that is found. So I'd like to see efforts made to replicate all the things!

    This! And again, for emphasis: THIS!!!

    Just how do we get funding for replication studies? The whole research ecosystem seems to be set up so that it's those chasing the latest and newest angle with the shiniest toys are the ones who get whatever little funding is available for biomedical ME research. Could the charities play a role by setting aside a certain percentage of their grants for replication studies?

    Agreed, a scoping review of the thousands of studies ought to identify at least a few that deserve replication.

    I wonder what might be the best approach to this? Some of our best-known researchers are pretty busy with the grants and research programmes that they have got, though I'm sure there are scientists among them who could find some time to devote to this.

    Would there be any value in recruiting (assuming funding could be found) a panel of experienced researchers who are sympathetic towards biomedical research on ME, but are at least one step removed from the work of the last few years? Perhaps they could bring some valuable perspective to a review of the evidence to date.

    Maybe something for the PSP to make a case for. There would be several strands - in vitro, in vivo, clinical etc. Mapping where early research has foundered or moved to the next level would definitely be useful.

    I'd be interested in having this replicated:

    Merged thread
    Every day I come across ideas for studies. And yet, when I come to put together a list, I struggle. So, I thought we could jot down ideas as we think about them or see them, ideally with a link to a thread that discusses them more.

    We have had a Members Only thread about this, but I reckon a public one is worthwhile.

    Investigation of changes in proteomics etc during pregnancy in ME/CFS, coupled with symptom monitoring. Does pregnancy have an impact on ME/CFS severity?
    Poll: Did pregnancy affect your ME?

    Replication of the repeated CPETs, at a large enough scale to provide convincing evidence one way or another
