Good news! The ME/CFS line item at the CDC was funded in the recent budget compromise announced today. Committee report language was included, unedited, from advocacy efforts earlier this year.

You can see SMCI's statement here: https://solvecfs.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/FY-19Labor-HHS-statement-9.14.18-final.pdf

You can see the report language here: https://www.congress.gov/congressional-report/115th-congress/senate-report/150/1

Great job everyone and thank you for standing with us! Let’s continue the fight for FY20 and get even more results!
