New Funding

[Halflife]

Suddenly a whole lot more reasons CFS/ME could see funding raised from NIH sooner than Collins first called with 2016 budget set.

Waiting with baited breath watching ripples on this side of the pond should fortune smile on your good selves. The Institute of Medicine report may yet have a greater impact on medical perception of a devastating condition for patients their families and loved ones.

Please keep us informed Halflife.

Lowering AHRQ profile is not so bad from my viewpoint as an outsider considering

Agency for Health Research and Quality performed so poorly during NIH P2P on CFS that a call has been made for re assessment of the PACE trial recommendation provided as evidence in front of NIH committee members.

Closer collaboration with European supporters of research projects creates opportunities for more speculative work than happens within tight confines of taking on safe projects assured of funding.

Europe collectively contributing research funding as individual member states scale down financial support a framework of collaboration and information sharing removing the competition model which scraps over safe options taking as few chances with reputation as feasible.

Pan European enlightenment varies from Norways Rituximab trials across Kristina Hansen held in a secure mental unit in Denmark with most points between on the spectrum covered.

Questioning who does what research is less important than somebody does something that takes research forwards.

Second that get on with it researchers.

Under one of the Institutes making progress into the tens of millions appears the limit for ambition hhs.gov/about/budget/budget... after other groups have taken a share.

The UK’s Medical Research Council is facing a budget crunch because of the loss of tens of millions of pounds in annual revenues from the expiry of patents on medicines it helped to develop.

Budget of £771.8m in 2014 /2015 in danger as spending review targets a further £20bn

reduction in spending. Many first rate proposals are not funded as the MRC battles protection of existing budget.

Added onto cuts in the welfare state targeting the most vulnerable an improvement for symptom reduction or quality of life in the coming year has no basis in facts available.

A nation that's in the top five economies in the world treating the entire disabled community as second class citizens is morally unacceptable.

Fifteen years outside of mainstream research funding in the USA only changed with rejection of psychosocial model until the same happens in the UK the MRC could be awash with cash and ME bio research rejected its attitude not budget thats the blocker.

Asking for research money and it will be sorry £5 million spent on PACE Trials 2011 wait inline priorities are set by medical opinion at MRC.

Francis Collins has an opportunity that substantial research funds will be delivered an RFA is a real signal that researchers can focus on. Show the money and science will follow as sure as day follows night.

[Cloudedout in reply to Dunnlyn]

The Institute of Medicine report is centre stage in moving a mindset into mainstream a great debt will be owed for the work.

CDC funding will be restored at $5.4 million when earlier proposals were for cutting CFS funding down to zero. NIH funding up by $2 billion on 2015 financial year

appropriations.senate.gov/i... NINDS is getting $1,696,139,000 in funding in 2016 and NIAID is getting $4,629,928,00.

Open Medicine Foundation move quicker than governments that want pilot study then published results all using up time.

Public funding gives agility the feds should be the muscle that supports them

The numbers are all promising reality will hopefully be as promising.

[pandemic in reply to Halflife]

Supporting quality high powered research in the USA leads this disease into a new chapter the door has opened will it open enough we are allowed inside - can hardly wait.

[Cloudedout in reply to Halflife]

A start point of $5 million is an opportunity NIH can make the most effective use of the smallest amount of funding in any medical condition.

$10 million extra in cancer research hardly noticed same amount on ME/CFS begins a new age that brings in drug companies that see a market with no drug treatments approved.
