This grant opportunity from the Office of Research on Women’s Health aims to support research projects focused on exploring the causes, diagnosis, mechanisms, and treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) or myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) in diverse populations and across different age groups. Emphasis is placed on understanding environmental and biological risk factors, variations within patient groups, and the interconnected body systems affected by ME/CFS. Interdisciplinary studies are encouraged to advance the understanding of the disease and develop evidence-based strategies to enhance diagnosis, treatment, and overall well-being of individuals with ME/CFS.

| Description:: | 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. |
