NIH reveals its strategic plan for 2016-2020

Since ME/CFS will soon be (or has already been???) moved to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, their strategic plan would offer further details (however again... it would all be very generic). Agencies typically issue a new strategic plan every four years however from the NINDS website, it appears they haven't issued a new strategic plan since 2010: http://www.ninds.nih.gov/about_ninds/plans/Strategic_Plan_2010.pdf

Even if NINDS issued a new plan this year, it is probably too soon to assume that they would include ME/CFS.

ME/CFS hasn't moved to NINDS. That was speculation on the part of a journalist who should know better.

NINDS is taking over leadership of the ME/CFS trans-NIH Working Group, that's all.

ME/CFS is still in the Office of Women's Health.
