RECOVER has the potential to be a model for innovative, patient-centered research. But for that to happen, NIH must listen to Congress, the scientific community, and the millions of individuals waiting for hope. Including ME/CFS within RECOVER’s scope is not just an opportunity — it’s an imperative. With hundreds of millions in funding and the largest-ever cohort of people with post-viral illnesses, RECOVER could provide the answers that ME/CFS researchers have sought for decades. NIH must seize this moment to lead.
