<p>The Department’s National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) welcomes funding
applications for research into any aspect of human health, including myalgic encephalomyelitis
(ME); it is not usual practice to ring-fence funds for particular topics or conditions.
Applications are subject to peer review and judged in open competition, with awards
being made on the basis of the importance of the topic to patients and health and
care services, value for money and scientific quality. In all disease areas, the amount
of NIHR funding depends on the volume and quality of scientific activity. Currently,
the NIHR is funding one project on ME; a large randomised controlled trial of an internet-based
cognitive behavioural therapy for children aged 11-17 years. It is being led by Professor
Esther Crawley at Bristol University and is funded for £994,430. It began in May 2016
and further information on this, and all NIHR funded projects, can be found at:</p><p><a
