The ME/CFS Priority Setting Partnership recruitment

What is the ME/CFS PSP?

Priority Setting Partnerships (PSPs) identify and prioritise unanswered questions or evidence uncertainties that they agree are the most important. The aim of this is to make sure that health research funders are aware of the issues that matter most to the people who need to use the research in their everyday lives.

Who is involved in the PSP?

The ME/CFS PSP will be led by non-profit making initiative, the James Lind Alliance, working in partnership with UK charity Action for M.E. with representation from Forward -ME, S4ME, and UK CMRC.

Who is funding the PSP?

The Medical Research Council (MRC), the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) and the Scottish Chief Scientist Office.
