Funding opportunity: Researching ME/CFS: priority area

Apply for funding to research myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, also known as ME/CFS.

You can get the funding through any of MRC’s funding schemes.

We particularly welcome applications within MRC remit that address one or more of the research areas identified by the ME/CFS Priority Setting Partnership for ME/CFS research:

• aetiology of post-exertional malaise
• pathways to repurposing of approved drugs for other conditions
• accurate and reliable diagnostic tools
• investigating the role of the immune system in ME/CFS
• stratification of ME/CFS
• evaluation of post-infection disease in ME/CFS
• neurological symptomology
• genetic links to ME/CFS susceptibility or disease
• drivers of severity in ME/CFS
• investigation of potential mitochondrial dysfunction in ME/CFS
• investigation of oxygenation dysfunction in ME/CFS

We will usually fund up to 80% of your project’s full economic cost.
