Mission & Vision

Our goal is to make the "lost voices" of ME/CFS patients heard again. We advocate for improved medical, social, and nursing care, promote urgently needed biomedical research, and create informational resources to raise awareness of this hitherto little-recognized disease.

Target groups

Our funding programs and activities are aimed at people of all ages, ethnicities, and genders who are affected by ME/CFS; relatives and friends of those affected seeking support and information; students and early-career researchers interested in ME/CFS research; as well as patient organizations, clinics, and researchers working to advance better diagnosis and treatment of ME/CFS.
