The NIH (National Institutes of Health) recently formed The ME/CFS Working Group of the NINDS (National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke) Advisory Council. The NINDS Advisory Council is an ongoing council chaired by Dr. Walter Koroshetz and is the highest decision-making authority within NINDS.

The news comes via the NINDS website:

“In May of 2018 the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) announced the creation of a Working Group of the National Advisory Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NANDS) Council focused on how best to advance research on myalgic encephalomyelitis / chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).
