Unfortunately they don't have big or sometimes any research budgets for me/CFS. They do pilot studies or just do what they can with minimal funding. OMF has helped but Ron said at the symposium that the biggest block to progress is funding. That's why we are hoping their grant proposal for one of the NIH centers gets funded. Some of this research is included in that proposal. Cross your fingers and toes! It would be a wonderful thing to get these great scientists pulled into the field and attract more. Indeed, they are starting to realize what an interesting and urgent puzzle this is, and for them such things are fun! We need these people involved!
