CFS multi-center research initiatives

The good news is there is a movement by key federal health agencies and other facilities/organizations, to better coordinate and collaborate research efforts, as shown below:

• CFIDS Association clinical and laboratory database
• NIH-funded multi-center study, centered at Columbia University
• CASA—Initiative of the NIH and CDC to develop common instruments and strategies for multicenter CFS research studies
• Chronic Fatigue Initiative—Multicenter initiative to discover possible pathogens and mechanisms of disease
