If you bookmark the Research pages on the MEA website:
http://www.meassociation.org.uk/research2015/
there is a section on volunteering for ME/CFS research - which we update whenever we are notified about biomedical research studies that require people with ME/CFS
The ME/CFS Biobank:
http://cureme.lshtm.ac.uk
which is funded by the MEA Ramsay Research Fund requires blood donor volunteers, including people with severe/housebound ME/CFS, but not at the moment
You are in an ideal position here re the ME Biobank because our research nurse lives in Cambridge and we have funds available to arrange for blood samples to be taken at a person's home if necessary
The samples are then sent to the ME Biobank at the Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead, North London
Hope this is of some help…….
