This Ramsay Award is a research grants competition in Basic, Preclinical, Clinical or Epidemiology Research open to investigators at any career stage. The program is conducted through a rigorous,
peer review mechanism.
“The Ramsay Award Program is one part of our organization’s overall research strategy to encourage participatory investigations, accelerate new discoveries, and reduce barriers for entry into the challenging yet rewarding field of ME/CFS,” Dr. Zaher Nahle, SMCI’s Chief Scientific Officer and VP of Research.
The Ramsay Awards are named after ME/CFS pioneer Dr. A. Melvin Ramsay, the recognized authority from 1955 until his death in 1990, whose sound descriptions of the disease have stood the test of time. We embrace his determination and spirit to find the answers to this disease.
The Ramsay Awards aim to:
INVEST in original ideas that will clarify the nature, progression and root causes of the disease.
CREATE environments permissive for developing future talent and retaining ME/CFS researchers.
FACILITATE collaboration and cross-pollination worldwide through our organization’s network.
