About ME/CFS Research Foundation

Research funding – let's start there ...

The problem: there is far too little ME/CFS research - both, in relation to ME/CFS patient numbers and also in comparison to similarly prevalent diseases. As a result, there is also a lack of medical awareness, recognition, education, diagnosis, treatment and ultimately lack of care care for ME/CFS patients. That is why we established the ME/CFS Research Foundation in 2022 - our contribution to solving this long lasting problem. Establishing and expanding biomedical, scientific research is our focus - initially privately funded and hopefully with more widely available public funding and recognition.

We are (still) a small team of affected people, relatives, friends, and committed supporters. We are looking forward to competent and energetic support of any kind to expand our important work!
