A thread to collate all the announcements from the different centres that were awarded funding by the NIH, and articles about the news.

Thanks, @Andy for collating all this valuable information. I wonder whether it should go in the library, or are we having a special section or closed threads in the ME/CFS news forum that can only be updated by one person (you, in this case probably), so it doesn't get sidetracked with discussion?
Unutmaz is on Twitter and seems worth following. He is making supportive comments around patient interaction. https://twitter.com/user/status/921840554547335168
Once we're up and running, I hope Unutmaz and the other good researchers from around the world will be informed of our existence and invited to visit relevant threads and contribute to discussion, for example explaining their research and answering questions.
Umm, hadn't really thought further than wanting to recreate my last couple of posts on PR but it could well be a good idea.
