Solve ME/CFS Initiative: Ramsay Grant Program 2021, applications open Feb 22nd to April 30th 2021

[Andy]

Through the Ramsay Program, Solve M.E. invests in research studies in ME/CFS or long-COVID with a particular emphasis on engaging young investigators and researchers new to the field. Collaborative proposals (involving 2 or more research groups) and studies that examine the similarities and differences between ME/CFS and long-COVID are encouraged.

There are two types of grants available:

1. Lab-based Research Grants, ranging from $35,000 to $55,000 for a one-year period, with the possibility of renewal for projects yielding promising results
2. Data-only Grants to support studies that will analyze the data in the You + ME Registry. These have an upper limit of $10,000 for a 6 month period, with the possibility of renewal for projects yielding promising results

You can learn more by joining our information session on either March 3rd and March 8th from 9-10am PST, where there will be ample opportunity to ask specific questions. Applications are due on April 30, 2021 and are run through a rigorous, double-blind peer review process. The Award notification is anticipated in June 2021 for lab-based projects and April 2021 for data only projects.

I thought this was really interesting. Fingers crossed. I really like that Anna Selin is not only a researcher but has clinical experience too.

• Drs. Liisa Selin and Anna Gil from the University of Massachusetts Medical School examined the role of specific T cells in ME/CFS and used their pilot data in an application to NIH for a large R01 grant which was competitively scored and awaiting final decision for funding.
