Sorry, nothing new.
The Coalition 4 ME/CFS apparently won. We can't even go to Congress.
This was foisted on us by the so-called patient groups.
Same mixed cohorts. Garbage in-garbage out.
Keep writing petitions for fairness and apologies.

NIH grant proposal announcement: Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic
Fatigue Syndrome: Etiology, Diagnosis, Pathophysiology, and Treatment
(R21)
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) issued by the Office of
Research on Women's Health (ORWH) and co-sponsoring Institutes and
Centers (ICs) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) encourages
investigator(s)-initiated applications that propose to examine the
etiology, diagnosis, pathophysiology, and treatment of chronic fatigue
syndrome (CFS), sometimes referred to as myalgic encephalomyelitis
(ME), in diverse groups and across the lifespan.
Applications that address gaps in the understanding of the
environmental and biological risk factors, the determinants of
heterogeneity among patient populations, the common mechanisms
influencing the multiple body systems that are affected in ME/CFS are
encouraged.
The NIH is particularly interested in funding interdisciplinary
research that will enhance our knowledge of the disease process and
provide evidence based solutions to improve the diagnosis, treatment,
and quality of life of all persons with ME/CFS. This interdisciplinary
research may include the building of scientific teams to study and
develop biomarkers, innovative treatment modalities, and/or the
modifiable risk and protective processes specifically targeted by
preventive and/or treatment interventions.
Applications submitted under this mechanism should be exploratory and
novel, and should break new ground or extend previous discoveries
toward new directions or applications.
