ME/CFS Epidemiology and Genomics Alliance

M.E./CFS Epidemiology and Genomics Alliance (MEGA) is a group of 15 British researchers supported by several UK patient charities which is applying for millions of ME/CFS research funding.

Criticism
MEGA has been criticized for arranging a patient petition to show support for its research aims, which is not the way research projects are usually planned or funded. The Opposing MEGA group was started to directly oppose the funding of the MEGA project, and has raised concerns about the researchers involved, including their close ties to the extremely controversial PACE trial.
