Below is summary of extramural [outside walls of NIH] expenditures on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome research by NIH.
http://report.nih.gov/rcdc/categories/ProjectSearch.aspx?FY=2010&ARRA=N&DCat=Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
(extramurual awards for research on CFS)
Notable awards are Judy Mikowitz --$322,097, "New Strategies to Decipher the Pathophysiology of CFS;"
Shawn Spencer, Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University, "HHV-6 INHIBITION: IMPLICATIONS IN CHRONIC
FATIGUE" It does not appear ground breaking, although the issue of HHV-6 in CFS is very important.At least nice to see it there. But there is no Shawn Spencer in faculty roster.

I apologize for the rest of the mish-mash. To see, probably best to go to the webpage. Reportedly, this year they are
spending less than $6.00 for each person affected by this disease.
For disease that predominately affects females, VIAGRA makes the list of possible interventions!
