Perhaps this has already been posted elsewhere and I completely missed it, but it looks like the CDC CFS budget is on the chopping block again for FY 2017:

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (-$5.4 million)
The FY 2017 budget request reflects the elimination for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). The goal of CDC’s current CFS program is to develop tools to gather and analyze surveillance data and to educate clinicians and the population based on the results of evidence-based studies. Over the past five years, NIH has been funded at a similar level to conduct biomedical research on CFS. CFS affects between one and four million people in the US, and this funding could be used to have a greater programmatic impact across CDC.
