==Launch & expressed hopes== The UK CFS/ME Research Collaborative (CMRC) was launched on Monday April 22nd 2013 at the Wellcome Collection in central London. It was attended by the the [http://www.royal.gov.uk/thecurrentroyalfamily/thedukeofkent/overview.aspx Duke of Kent], in his role as patron of the ME Association, and the [http://www.parliament.uk/biographies/lords/countess-of-mar/1861 Countess of Mar], a Patron of ME Research UK. [[ME Research UK]] in their write up of the launch<ref>https://www.meresearch.org.uk/uk-research-collaborative/</ref> stated “Our hope is that the success of the ‘UK Respiratory Research Collaborative’ – which saw grant funding for respiratory medicine research increase 10-fold between 2005 and 2012 – can be dramatically reprised for ME/CFS, which has been a poor orphan in research terms for far too long.” The BMJ published an article<ref>https://www.bmj.com/content/346/bmj.f2630</ref> with quotes from [[Stephen Holgate]] & [[Sonya Chowdhury]] of [[Action for ME]] expressing great hope for the CMRC being a “step change”. A blog<ref>https://meassociation.org.uk/2013/06/uk-research-collaborative-means-business-think-piece-by-simon-mcgrath-4-june-2013/</ref> published by [[The ME Association]], whilst noting some controversy over the big tent approach, was also very positive. Dr [[Charles Shepherd]] is quoted as saying it was “a very big and potentially extremely powerful tent”.
