There seem to be a lot of questions after yesterday's NIH announcement regarding where ME/CFS is 'housed' at NIH. I don't know exactly what that means. Maybe someone can clarify. Here's what we (I) know:
- A new intramural ME/CFS research program is being launched at NIH.
- A NINDS researcher (Vicky Whittemore) and the NINDS director are very involved in this effort
- An RFA for extramural researchers from NINDS should be issued after NIH gets its budget from Congress.
- There is a Trans-NIH Working Group with members from various institutes that is responsible for ME/CFS
- NIH will continue to provide a CFSAC member - currently Vicky Whittemore of NINDS
- The Office of Research on Women's Health is no longer involved in ME/CFS
That's very NINDS-y. I don't really know how else to answer the question. Maybe @leokitten can weigh in.
