Committees and boards[edit | edit source]

IOM Committee on Diagnostic Criteria for ME/CFS[edit | edit source]

Dr Snell was a reviewer for the 2015 report produced by the Institute of Medicine's (IOM) Committee on Diagnostic Criteria for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS).[2]

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Advisory Committee[edit | edit source]

Dr. Snell was Chair of the Health and Human Services's (HHS) Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Advisory Committee (CFSAC) committee from 04/01/07-04/01/11.[3]

ME/CFS Common Data Element (CDE) Project[edit | edit source]

Member of the Quality of Life/Functional Status (CPET)/Activity Working Group of the Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Common Data Element (CDE) Project sponsored by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).[4]

Advocacy[edit | edit source]

Open letter to The Lancet[edit | edit source]

Three open letters to the editor of The Lancet urged the editor to commission a fully independent review of the PACE trial, which the journal had published in 2011. In 2016, Dr. Snell, along with 42 colleagues in the ME/CFS field, signed the second letter.[5] In 2018, Dr. Snell, with more than 100 colleagues in the ME/CFS field, signed the third letter.[6]
