Pathways to prevention report

National Institutes of Health Pathways to Prevention Workshop: Advancing the Research on Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Position Paper (Green CR, Cowan P, Elk R, O'Neil KM, Rasmussen AL). The report's title is often shortened to the "P2P report."

The IACFSME organization wrote a response to the report: "Generally we agree with the majority of the Panel’s recommendations but believe that the elephant in the room – research funding – alluded to in the report (e.g. Line 8) needs to be addressed more strongly and specifically."

The Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Advisory Committee of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services assisted in the final draft of the report. The committee's recommendations for amending the draft report of the Pathways to Prevention: Advancing the Research on Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome can be found [https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/advcomcfs/recommendations/cfsac-pathways-to-prevention-january-2015-updated.pdf here.
