Research (NIHR). The NIHR has provided approximately £4.4 million for research on
myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) since 2011. In addition,
the NIHR and the Medical Research Council have jointly funded a £3.2 million study
into genetics and ME/CFS. The study will analyse samples from 25,000 people with ME/CFS
to search for genetic differences which may indicate underlying causes or an increased
risk of developing the condition.</p>
